Guest Omega Man Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Thanks OmegaMaybe the real win is for you to hook up a bike swap day with one of the other guys in our group. I'm sure one of the guys with DH bikes will be keen for a trail bike day. Especially seeing as you have a Pyga. Guys are always keen to ride those. Dan Dob 1
Guest Omega Man Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Watched the Whistler Opening weekend vid. Next weekend Les Gets opens
Guest Omega Man Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Just a heads up. One of the guys coming on the trip, Martin, is the Cape Town agent for Ion and Evoc. We are going to be meeting next week to arrange a group rate/discount for Ion and Evoc gear for guys coming on the trip. We'll figure out which shops to deal through (it has to go through a shop) and I'll post up a notice. So if you're thinking about buying kit, kneepads or a pack maybe just hold back for a week and you'll hook up some sweet Ion or Evoc kit at a good price. Deal excludes Ion Camera Edited May 22, 2014 by Omega Man Dan Dob 1

Sounds good, as long as they don' forget it's not a downhill bike (and thrash it accordingly)! Edited May 22, 2014 by beanz

I reckon your NW with a top guide and clutch will be cool. I'd be hesitant to just run a NW without a top guide. The tracks are much rougher than here. Edited May 25, 2014 by Omega Man

Guest Omega Man Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Erm, I'm just not so sure. Don't mean to be funny, but this sort of arrangement doesn't always end well.Ja for sure. It is an option tho. And like you said you can get good rentals at Torico. You can also rent a Honda CBR 600 for 90 Euro. Imagine blasting the Alpine passes on one of those puppies for a day......

And thanks in general for making alpine riding an affordable reality for many of us rather than just a bucket list pipe dream.
