| 2. Can
you recommend any special diets for cycling? |
|
| 3. Are
there any highly recommended multi day sport
events for fun and for serious riders? |
Yes!
For the Roadies -
enter the Kremetart
Cycle Race in June in Louis
Trichardt. The Panorama 4 Day Race
in Witriver is also a highly recommended
multi stage event. It is always
the last weekend in April and you
need
a bit of training as it is a very
hilly course but very well organised.
For the Mountain Bikers -
if you ever want to experience
the Cape
Epic but
do not want to race it, enter the
Epic Day Trippers. Find details
on www.cape-epic.com. |

| 4. There
are so many bike shops in my area! How do I choose
a good bike shop? |
| Never look for the closest bike shop
to your front door. Look for one that
offers you the best service. Build a
relationship with them and support them
fully. They
might sometimes be more expensive but
if you have a good relationship with
your bike shop, you'll get good service
and, most of the time, great prices. |
