A sensible approach to bike riding

[News bot]

After many years of pouring my money into skateboards, I bought a heavy alloy mountain bike in 2008 and headed up the mountain with my friend Kat.

Nice man! Wish we had more opportunities like that in the Eastern Cape.

Just how much *** can a bunch of English guys talk?

Awesome write up, Enduro is like the casual ride out with mates.

Everybody suffers together on the hills, I SUCK at hills, and then when the fun starts you try to go as hard as you dare to beat them.

We need more of these events for sure!!!

Couldn't agree more with bullet777 but the organizing behind an event is the problem.

Marvelous write-up Craig! True squire.

Nice Article and welcome back

 

Have been following the KZN and Gauteng Endure scene this year and isn't that what Mtbing is all about !! the awesome views from the top and the Radness factor of  fun going down as quick as you can but still trying to stay alive while hitting gap jumps  !

 

Had a lycra newbie try one of the enduro days out and the day before during practice I was explaining to him the rules and etiquette about if a guy/girl has  caught you , you already 30 sec behind them so might aswell move over - by the end of the conversation he was actually shocked by how rad all the guys are and said so you enduro guys actually like each other and its all about having  fun together  unlike the usual racing snakes he is used to that wont track or get out the way  .

 

I must add - he did come to race day in baggies

I wanted to go very badly, but my mates are unfortunately too entrenched in their budgie smuggling ways. Next time I'm just gonna go without them.

Good genuine write up. Makes you think about what kinda of riding you want to do & which do you enjoy most...

 

I have red mist syndrome (and hate it) try not to but...It's not always about racing but what makes you smile and think,Damn what an awesome day.

 

Food for thought,for me anyway.

nice one craig.

Excellent write up of the event. One of the best days out on my bike. Claiming my "finished dead last" spot. Cant wait for the next one.

Great article Craig, sitting at my desk here and itching to get onto my bike!

"The pink mist descends"

Line of the day by a mile.

 

I must pitch up for one of these and steal away BikeGenie's much coveted last place finish.

When my studies allow again I would like to give it a go. Till then i need to loose about 10kg.

Sounds like great fun. When and where is the next event ?

That's the beautiful part - you don't need to

 

You don't get timed going up and its a good chat and laugh all the way  , then only on the down run do  the times start and the extra weight sure does help you to go faster ! lol  

[Amberdrake]

I need to loose the weight so the bike doesn't leave me! Normally I am around 110kg currently upto 116kg.
