my budget is between 4,000 and 6,000 L.E
I don't want to buy Gitane
and I wonder where can I find (and buy) well known brands like trek,GT,kona,specialised and jamis ?

I have been riding for about 2 years
I ride for relatively long distances (about 20km) but never off road

I am looking for full suspension bike,
Also I would like to know what kind of maintenance does it require

Thanks in Advance

I'm guessing a mechanic will have something suitable--what term should I use to ask for that kind of grease in Arabic?

Weather is expected to be hot but not as hot as last week. As usual bring your three liters of water/food/energy stuff/spare tubes/pump etc.....

The plan is to start at 7:15 a.m. If you get there later and we're gone try to catch up.]]>

1. By beginner I mean you have ridden your bike at least a few times in the wadi. This should NOT be your first time off-road. You should have basic riding skills.
2. We will be riding about 30KMs that usually feels like 50KM if it's your first time riding it. This is an intermediate ride for regular riders but a long one for the newbies. You should have at least a bit of above average endurance.
3. The weather is expected to be hot on Friday.

Come out and join the fun, BUT...

1. You MUST have your minimum riding kit (helmet, spare tubes, enough water for a three-hour ride (a liter for every hour is a good idea))

2. If you feel tired on the first 5 KM it will be a good idea to turn back and ride a shorter loop or the wadi floor. There is no fun in pushing yourself to absolute exhaustion, take it easy and start gradually improving your endurance by riding more often!

3. I will get to the wadi at 7:00 a.m., and start riding at 7:15. If you get there later, try to catch up. We start early to avoid the worst of the hot weather.

If you plan on coming, please post in this thread.

Happy cycling!

Anyway, we rode the south ridge (balcony) to the west and descended to take the long main loop. We did a few extra sections here and there that were a lot of fun. Here are some pictures:

So, tomorrow we meet at 7:45 and start riding at 8:00.

Do you have a car with a bike rack and can give a fellow rider a lift? We have one rider in Helopolis/Nasr City who needs a ride to the Wadi (M. Fakahany) and another in downtown (Patrick). Please post here if you will be able to do so. It would be great if people can carpool to the wadi.

New riders: Ride difficulty is intermediate to advanced unless we specifically say that this is a beginners-level ride. You can always join for the first few KMs and do a short ride, split and loop back earlier. You MUST have a helmet and spare inner tube(s).]]>

I am Mohamed Hazem, you can call me HAZEM. I am 23 years old. It seems that I am the youngest one here. Hope I am :)
I was searching for an outdoor activity I can join and found that MTBiking seemed very interesting to me.
I checked your website and it helped me choosing my first mountain bike and the information was very helpful i have to say.
Ten days after checking mtbegypt.com I got Gitane Fitz roy.
As a beginner , I think it is perfect.
eager to join one of your rides soon.]]>

Let me know if anyone is interested in joining Friday or saturday.
