Headshot Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Such a cool looking spot too. You'd better get a dinner/beer invite to CG's pad...
NicoBoshoff Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 First half you think, hmmmm, okay, steep but bike parky so looks doable. Then he re-enters the forest and you think, hmmmmm, okay, pretty sure that was only a fart...

Grebel Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Riding naturally. Masters World Champs http://vallnordworldchampionships.com/en/program-2015/masters/ I thought so. Was just checking though. I heard the term spectating being thrown around but I called BS so I thought I'd just check Going to be a blast if 2013 was anything to go by!! Enjoy!!!
nigelhicks Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 Riding .... but I think there will be lots of spectating and puzzling how to get down stuff any other way than on our bums ....
Grebel Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Riding .... but I think there will be lots of spectating and puzzling how to get down stuff any other way than on our bums ....Haha! Pretty much what I did in 2013... mostly.... Enjoy it!
nigelhicks Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 But Jo peter and I are getting there on the 19th so can ride the bike park first to get used to it all. We "should" be ok
nigelhicks Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 Ok so seeing as Jo and I leave on Friday, I thought I would do an update ... Check out KathF's blog on the riders and whats being going down in the lead up to the race. https://southafricansgoingdownhill.wordpress.com/ I will try and post pics as and when i can ... but I will say, the stomach butterflies are fluttering already
nigelhicks Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 So the bikes are packed ... The Devinci was a HACK ... as it was too long for my bike bag, so I had to even remove the forks from the crowns and strap them to the side of the frame - bars on one side forks on the other ... Then a wheel a side in the wheel covers with a mud spike each side too to assist in cushioning. 29.7kg with my kit and shoes and camelbak with spares. ... CLOSE ... as the Emirates allowance is 30kg or your home morgage.
Super_mil Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Will be boxing either this evening or tomorrow... Gonna have to figure out how to ride steep hills again.Of bigger concern to me is driving a van out of Barcelona in rush hour traffic
