before everyone gets their knickers in a know about the title, its poking fun; BUT, I do however wonder why the heck should you pay R30 more if you decide to ride a road race on a mtb rather than a road bike....

 Well just brings out the point that if they maybe open the curb and sidewalks for the MTBs to ride on it might actually be totally correct to charge them a bit extra for the benefit of not being stuck behind the hoards of road bikes.

Dangerous to assume the average oke doing a road race on a mtb have the "technical" skills to ride on the curb and sidewalks...  :ph34r:

Please advise if you are going back to racetec this year? I see I cannot find last years times and it doesnt help with any seeding.

I thought the Savages spread their seeding and pretty much rode wherever they felt like on the day??

These days i see savages all over the show. I saw one with the same merida as mine standing in front of me in the start chute at houwhoek on the weekend. I didn't see him again after that.

 

Is a savage who rides mtb actually an impure one? Just casting a seed of doubt
