XTC OKE Posted November 17, 2008 Share I agree with capri wheeler' date=' i dont mind if the oke has a 50k bike and he can ride ok but sometimes you'll check like a fat oke on a cervelo R3 pimped with Zipp 303's climbing up a 10% gradient hill at like 11km! Or riding along doing an avg speed of 22km! Im sorry, if you got a bike thats worth that much you gotta ride well!... ...If not, buy a motorbike(offroad)[/quote'] Speedi can you even go that slow up a 10% hill???

turtlek Posted November 17, 2008 Share I really enjoyed the course especially the new section' date=' although having said that it must have been pretty hazardous for the later bunches. Spoke to a lot of people who started lower and they said the problem was is tha the section is very fast and the novice riders were all over the place and with all the twists, turns, man holes, cobble stones and so on made it very dangerous. ? I had a fantastic ride and really enjoyed the whole weekend. The MTB race was well organized (seeding is a problem) but other than that one glitch a huge well done to the sponsors, the marshalls (except for the?one c#$t) and everyone else who?tried to ride an expensive bike as well as an el cheapo.?[/quote']I know that marshall!!!!? Rides a Honda Twister, nice guy with a few real sh&^ty friends.? Not that bad! i met that guy yesterday aswell really good guy!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion Posted November 17, 2008 Share climbing up a 10% gradient hill at like 11km/h!Here I was thinking that was quite fast for a 10% hill. I think I'd better re-adjust my perceptions. Oh dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith Posted November 17, 2008 Share When I was shopping around for my road and mtb bikes I saw these expensive beauts that I could probably afford and than have no money left in the bank, but I asked myself: Boet would you really do that machine justice? Would you ride it to its full capability? And the answer was no. I don't have the fitness or riding knowledge to get the full potential out of a R50 000 Bianchi, so I bought an R7000 road bike and R8500 mtb. And you know what? I love them both!!! So I envy guys with lekker bikes, but I know at least that I am getting the best out of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
