Andrew Steer Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Hey, don't knock it till you try it. I swear every time the cSixx bakkie comes back up Kloof Road to take the boys back for another run of the Glen on TM. Nothing beats shuttles & lifts for improving your descending capabilities. Just like riding up would improve climbing ability and fitness...And if you're fitter, you're also likely to descend better as you don't fatigue as quickly... Just saying
BigDL Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 When #endurobros don't know basic MTB skillz like bunnyhopping... https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18045664195054025/ (Says the guy who can't bunnyhop)Looks like awesome fun. Everyone enjoying it as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Andrew Steer Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 +1 skills and bike handling improve as your fitness increases.Yip... if you're bleeding out your eyeballs, you're not going to be making the right decisions and picking the right lines. The more you ride, the fitter you get, the better you get all round. Don't skip the tough boring stuff... I'm pretty sure we all love the down hills last I checked.
Patchelicious Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Just like riding up would improve climbing ability and fitness...And if you're fitter, you're also likely to descend better as you don't fatigue as quickly... Just saying Aaaaaaand less likely to moan on the weightloss thread
Duane_Bosch Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Well at least they are pushing their own bikes, usually the Enduro guys get ski lifts or hop on the back of bakkie to get up a hill. Ok just for the record. That is NOT a ski lift. That's a glorified fishing rod. I'm Millennial level offended now.
Patchelicious Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Ok just for the record. That is NOT a ski lift. That's a glorified fishing rod. I'm Millennial level offended now.It was only a micro aggression so you can only be micro offended
Duane_Bosch Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 It was only a micro aggression so you can only be micro offendedHaha. Ok I've adjusted my offencedness downwards.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Just like riding up would improve climbing ability and fitness...And if you're fitter, you're also likely to descend better as you don't fatigue as quickly... Just saying Absolutely, and I never said it didn't. I generally earn my turns, even though I'm absolutely shattered and can't make good decisions / movements on the way down. BUT. Shuttling is excellent fun. Sometimes, you just want to enjoy the downs for the downs without having to ride back up to the top again. Same reason I like e-bikes. Auto-shuttling.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 +1 skills and bike handling improve as your fitness increases.100% and I've noticed it hugely with my improved fitness. Well, not last time but that was an aberration. Just wasn't in the zone and was suffering within the first 5k.
PhilipV Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Okay so let me just sum up all the stereotypes here. The enduro rider's are fat and lazy. The epic riders can't ride technical terrain. Roadies don't wave. Fixie riders are too ironic for their own good. No one knows how to have fun.Everyone gets offended. You can add to my list while I go off to the 4x4forum. Those guys are so serious they don't allow jokes on the forum, yet they believe that adding 2stroke oil to your fuel will clean your injectors and that you will die a violent death if you even just think of hanging a tow rope over your towbarr.
PhilipV Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Weren't these roads used as the liasons between stages for Klipberg enduro?Jip. That is the climb used as the liaison for stages 3-6.
ChrisF Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Jip. That is the climb used as the liaison for stages 3-6. Are you trying to confuse us with FACTS ! ? ! ?

It has been said there are only two types of cyclists : - those hunting Strava times .... - those having a good time ....
