  • I think faugsu has spoken to them but he's over here so might not hurt for a local to check in with them mate. If you could, I think it would be best.

  • Yikes, got me in the GC spot Mark? I know it's a pain changing dossards etc and I don't mind having the number at all but just want to let all my Pastana teammates know in advance that I doubt I'll be putting in the big GC miles this go around after only just being cleared to ride on Thursday. But best pedal forward and…

  • Mark, I think I will be able to particpate if you need an extra rider. I see the surgeon on the 20th and I'm hoping he will clear me to start some light riding. Won't be a GC contender buy hope to help with a few miles.

  • Mark, I think you are between a rock and a hard place mate. I'd go for an SLX 11-34 9 spd cassette, they're cheap as chips and use that with your XT long cage. Only thing with a wide ratio 9 spd is the gaps between ratios are quite noticeable which may or may not bother you. I have to say that upgrading my road bike to 11…

  • Sounds to me like you are in god shape to do this ride. As centuries go it's a very flat route so should be a relatively easy ride. I imagine you would take about 6 hours to complete it. It will be much easier if you are in a group with a each rider doing their fair share of work, especially if it is windy. The main thing…
