The Maelstrom trail at Logwood Bike Haven




This is an old pic of what is now known as the Diadora Dropoff at Logwood. Trust me, it looks much scarier from the top!

Alloy XC HT

The code XC HT printed on the side of my Mountain Bike really bugged me. At first I thought that perhaps Engineers are not the only humans that suffer from acronym diarrhoea and that Mountain Bikers were also infected. Then I realised that it was probably the Engineers that designed the frame that had put it there.

I finally worked out that it stands for Cross Country Hard Tail. X = Cross is something uncommon in South Africa, but apparantly common-knowledge in the USA where I saw traffic signs saying Railway Xing. Finally realised then that Xing Mpeg player probably stood for Crossing Mpeg player and not Zing Mpeg player.
