Ikonic Posted July 27, 2010 Share I guess it comes with the territory of cycling in Africa! Just never really thought of antelope as being dangerous!!! An Eland would have done serious harm! Anyone see the notorius Rhino?No luckily enough I haven't seen the rhino, though my time might have been much better if I did see it!! I can picture myself riding the mine dump with a rhino struggling to catch me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikonic Posted July 27, 2010 Share Just one question how can you enjoy a race where you have to push your bike wheather to steep ,the minedump or serious downhills or when other riders are pushing their bikes ? For me when I enjoy a race you must ride the whole way as fast as possible. I enjoyed the Hazeldeane race much more than this one .I realy k@k on the race on Saturday .BTW what distances did you peeps got ? I got 41 km .Look at it as a bit of a duathlon, walking and riding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing frustrates me more than someone walking on a nice trail. I snapped my chain on 15 km, just at the starting point of the one single track bit, and HAD to walk. I made sure I got out of the way and pulled my bike well off the trail to let other faster riders past. As far as the downhill bits go: I rode like a demon down any hill I could (obviously with a fixed chain), but I though at some places I was setting a new land speed record DAMN, I love MTB!
