MaxKnox Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 how is it looking for tomorrow with the rain? Are you going to give the other a run for their money? rain is full up for past month.. route looking really tricky. going to be a tough race.. apparently dry tomorrow which will make it very sticky and way more hard. ill give it everything sabie one of the biggest races for me! if someone else wins i can promise you he will have to work for it.. ill be giving it everything!!
MaxKnox Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 So when are we going to have the shoot down? come loaded ill be ready tomorrow :-p

Sworks20 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Max - I havent read this whole thread so if this has been asked I am sorry but I need to ask you a question that I think is on alot of peoples minds; Why the sudden departure from your old team after Hanco just came onboard as your team mate to go concentrate on XC as apposed to Marathon racing in order to get to compete at the Olympics? It seems rather odd when against the top XC riders like James, Phil, Brendon etc you more than half a lap off at the end? Surely you must of known this when deciding and all of them also do Marathons - James is the SA Marathon Champion and why didnt your team support this move? In my eyes you the best Marathon racer and most consistent in SA and have been for a while. This isnt an attack of any nature just a question many people ask.  Thanks SW20
MaxKnox Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 perhaps take a wet lube with you and re lube your chain during the event two.. will help you get to the finish..
Gen Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 XoXoXo... ;-) Aaaaha BFFFFFFF plan can continue  All the best out there tomorrow. Make them sweat Max.

I said give secret inside info.. and I am not riding in Sabie tomorrow  I will go suffer in heat and most likely wind here in the platteland. . Something about a mieliemyl.

martinsnyman Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Ha ha ha ha. Funny thing I read Mr Knox's tweet and wondered how long before a thread pops up about it ha ha ha ha You lot best behave yourselves, else we may not have him here for long and then solid advise will fly out the window  Welcome Max, I think the okes hang around here for the Ladies and Bicycles thread Busted?!?!?
Tumbleweed Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 Seems Max's "fighting talk" is playing out on the trails. Just read that he and Kevin are setting the pace in Sabie.
