BenReaper Posted May 10, 2016 Share Balls to the Wall Term used by pilots. when accelerating quickly, the throttle is pushed all the way to the panel and the throttle lever (ball) actually touches the panel (wall). Hence, balls to the wall. What were you referring to MTBeer? How long have you been waiting to apply that little bit of trivia?

BenReaper Posted May 10, 2016 Share Have you never been curious how something like that is supposed to make you faster?....I always though it meant something along the lines of disregarding youre own well being by pushing beyond youre personal limit or comfort zone and putting yourself in a 'win it or bin it' situation. But yours sounds more legit though. [emoji106] Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Buttox Posted May 11, 2016 Share Swings and roundabouts. The sharp kickers do slow you down but the rest of the trail can be balls to the wall. Or whatever the female version of that is.Many of those who put petal to the metal would wrecking ball that wall! Or at least I think that whenever I put my foot down on a particular slippery righthand switchback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 12, 2016 Share PLEASE - IF YOU ARE GOING TO TRY TO RIDE THIS TRAIL, OR ANY TRAIL ON TYGERBERG TRAILS NETWORK, YOU MUST BUY A PERMIT!!! Patrick has already had to chase off multiple non-members and rogue riders who CONTINUE to expect that they can ride just by pitching up to the restaurant and getting on the bike. Don't feck it up for us. Please. Hairy, MTBeer and Wannabe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antjie Posted May 20, 2016 Share Sjo, who is this segment hunter that smashed the KOM with 9sec?! Do we smell a downhiller, a famous name? Since that is also the ONLY part of the ride that is on Strava My vote is on a shuttle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contego Segment Hunter Posted May 20, 2016 Share Are there going to segments in other provinces? Although we'd really like to go national, it is restricted to Cape Town and surrounds for this season. Traveling to other provinces adds additional planning and budget considerations. Cycling Addict 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
