Claudio Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 The Old Mutual joBerg2c has become the first mountain bike event in South Africa to launch a competitive category specifically created for heavyweight riders. Click here to view the article Iron Midge 1
Chro Mo Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Clydesdales unite! Don't know if we should rejoice or be offended! Could be the most fun out of any category Iron Midge, Underachiever and arendoog 3

jcza Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 I think they should charge more for these okes to enter cause they eat more Pants Boy, VicanZA, Andrew Steer and 1 other 4
eddy Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) I think they should charge more for these okes to enter cause they eat more No we don't. We ride less and DRINK more But this is brilliant news and one I have long felt strongly about. I have never been able to understand why they have weight categories in Boxing or Weightlifting for instance but not in Marathon running. How about high jump for short guys ? And because they all start with their feet in line, but end with their arms stretched above their heads, tall swimmers have a huge advantage as they have much less distance to cover than us short okes. I could have been very competitive in a number of disciplines if the world was fair...... (Just kidding, but only about the bit about being competitive).

jaxtun Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 EISH SO I AM OFFICIALLY A BUFFALO, always knew i was a dikgat, but a baffalo :blush: :eek:Oh Dipsy... pray tell - a BAFFalo??? thanks for the awesome laugh
Vinnydabutcher Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 My boet competes in tri races in the US. 200lbs - Clydesdale220lbs - Super Clydesdale Gives the big boys something to race for! He`s in Super Clydesdale competing against ex Football/baseball/basketball boys. At the line everyone else is about a head and neck taller than him - he is 6ft. Some big boys out there!
jaxtun Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 i see there is a One Tonner training ride thread - perhaps these 2 should merge eddy and Pants Boy 2
Hairy Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Hell .... I can finally be competitive .... does this mean I can't stop along the route for a lunch and photo stop anymore?
VicanZA Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 72 Kg gonna stop riding eat like a ******* and race Buffalo, loved the shoes in the days too. Also love the song buffalo soldier... ride Buffalo, wear buffalo, hum buffalo soldier.
