banna Posted April 4, 2016 Share Got a pic of me on SS3, just before I passed the rider in front of meIs the parachute on your back just in case you don't make the berm? Rushdee and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 4, 2016 Share Is the parachute on your back just in case you don't make the berm?it's carrying my 3l water, jacket (in case it gets cold) spare gloves, tools, trail-side snacks & powerade (If I need it) And a parachute. Cos you know, Enduro. It's my all-day pack. Carries everything I need and more, and it doubles as extra super secret training device when it's fully loaded... It's also that, or a water bottle.

Try and squeeze in the Weber and cooler box as well. Nothing like a boerie and a beer at the checkpoints. I've got a Camelbak Hawg as my all-day pack. You can almost fit the moon into that thing.

I've done that before (the boerie rolls, not the weber) Riding buddies were NOT impressed when out came the tinfoil-encased goodness and all they had were jungle oats bars... banna and Epic Rookie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted April 4, 2016 Share The key to speed on a bike is lighter - leaving the snacks at home is one way of lightening the pack and the rider.... Eddy Gordo and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 4, 2016 Share The key to speed on a bike is lighter - leaving the snacks at home is one way of lightening the pack and the rider....the key to speed on a bike is not to suck... But yes, I agree. Maaaybe a bottle would have been the better option, or a fanny-pack like the Camelbak whateveritis... I also didn't eat the snacks. So not necessary, maybe. Still - my first enduro in 2 years. Edited April 4, 2016 by Myles Mayhew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. So I'll still tote an energy bar or something, but maybe not the entire sink. Edited April 4, 2016 by Myles Mayhew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be apologizing to the weight weenies mate, if you were happy to carry that stuff and enjoyed the day knock yourself out Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Rushdee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBeer Posted April 4, 2016 Share Myles, you're copping some abuse here dude? Next time you see one of those skinny fekkers, just ride over them. #bunnyhoppingisforsissies NotSoBigBen and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 4, 2016 Share Myles, you're copping some abuse here dude? Next time you see one of those skinny fekkers, just ride over them. #bunnyhoppingisforsissiesAbuse is fun. But yeah. The additional weight of a full pack is a bit much. Maybe. This was a tester as well. Next time I will be slimming the pack down. Also didn't want to get caught out at the waterpoints if they didn't have a lot to nonch on. EDIT: BUT - I'd rather lose 20kg myself than do away with 3 or 4 kg in the backpack. Edited April 4, 2016 by Myles Mayhew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Mans Posted April 8, 2016 Share So simonsberg?last year's delheim enduro was pretty epic and an excellent way to end the season. Some super sick single track and a brand new black route compliments of Mr. Botha. If this years event is anything like last year it's a definite must do!
