Guest Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 If you are fine on the loose rocky section by the concrete slabs you will be fine, we doing that again anywayon lesson I learned, DON'T RUSH UP THAT SECTION - spin spin spin ChUkKy and rouxtjie 2
ChUkKy Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Jislaaik, can't wait for that section. That's where we'll earn the beers! You know what will make my day is if I get to the top of that section and someone has a beer point setup with ice cold quarts of Castle light and nice tjerries to look at while sucking it back Race organisers - hint hint.... nudge nudge flyluis 1
ChUkKy Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 It's technical but don't worry about the climbs worry about going downhill. Top Tip: Start slowly, you're gonna need something extra later like epol?
Guest Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Race organisers - hint hint.... nudge nudge fixed.

Head down and go go go
rouxtjie Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 on lesson I learned, DON'T RUSH UP THAT SECTION - spin spin spinYea, I have seen many okes pop on that little climb, passing isn't worth the energy you are spending. You will pay for it later in the day. It's also the place where the pro's attack in the VG races.
jcza Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 like epol? Hahaha no just a tablespoon of HTFU and a sip of water will do the trick ChUkKy 1

Yeah, that's where I made "my move" last time, and the trail made its move on me from 40km onwards, and I came 3rd between the 2 of us.... rouxtjie 1
ChUkKy Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 There's one of those at the finish, don't stop at the top you'll start cramping. Head down and go go go I need new brake pads
jcza Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I need new brake pads I have a spare set but they avids - you've got XT I think? Or just sort it out on Sunday after the race.
divernick Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I need new brake pads Stay off the brakes, they'll only slow you down....
Pieterg Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Gaan daar baie mense wees of is dit n lekker klein race, by die VG was dit bietjie crowded
ChUkKy Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I have a spare set but they avids - you've got XT I think? Or just sort it out on Sunday after the race. Avid - elixir 5Mine work unlike Karma's Are the pads the sintered kind?
ChUkKy Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Stay off the brakes, they'll only slow you down.... I only use them when I really need to slow down and miss a tree or something harder than me, sometimes used as a turning aid at the back also... divernick 1
