rouxtjie Posted October 9, 2012 Share It is a pity we only met on the last day right before the finish. Man you missed out, day one we gooi-ed gangnam style on the car radio on full blast on day one just before we headed to the starting line! What a way to energize for those hills…yea man, I saw most of the hubbers earlier even had a chance to bomb down some singletrack with them. Better late than never hey.

dirtrider Posted October 9, 2012 Share Another one in the bag and it gets better every year . Going down the Avalance I lost the chain and after the fix I was about the jump back onto the trail when I heard a bike coming down at a moerse spoed . The poor gentleman misjudged his speed and the space he had to overtake and hit me on the back wheel . He went flying over the handle bars and badly cut his leg but also managed to break his rear brake lever . Could have been very ugly but luckly he did not break any bones . Each had one puncture but we also stopped to help a team who managed to totally destroy the rear derailure and front blade . The blade was so bend the crank could not even turn , how he did not break a chain we will never know . Also did a 26 tube into a 29 rim repair .

BigGuy Posted October 9, 2012 Share It was fun to ride the familiar bits in a different order, but the really fun part was that I had my first 3 rides on the alu 29er I bought on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rouxtjie Posted October 9, 2012 Share @Iron...thanks for the headsup on the SS, I would have died out there, you need to train to do this on rigid singlespeed, winging it isn't an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
