sounds good!
When you all say next weekend I asume 13-14 july?

I will be taking my beloved (and my wife) to the magaliesberg for that weedend for a little offroad fun !

Take care! I believe sand tends to get in everywhere (especially the weedend)! ;D 😉

That shouldn't be a problem, as long as the weedend doesn't droop due to lack of moisture!

Well I did the Kyalami course on Friday. It's short but for a beginner like me there are plenty of obstacles to challenge me.

Decided that I need Toe Clips or clip pedals and also need to get a Hydra pack of sort. Dont like drinking water out a muddy bottle.

Was lots of fun, I had a few scares but after while I was pretty confident.

One question for the experienced guys. What pressure do you pump your tyres to ? I put mine to the recomended 80 PSi and was loosing traction big time, so I dropped the pressure a little and it was alot better.

hey guys started a little mtbing for myself great fun except i only have a 52 and 42 and then like this tiny little chain ring so things get tougher and rougher like you can imagine.but i would like to say to all those roadies that havent tried mtbing and say thats its probably easy cos you ride like 200km a weekend then ride 6okm off road and feel the burn yeh what a rush cheers mtbers and roadies
