  1. Scalpel

    Cape Epic 2026

    Also did the Epic this year with my wife! Montagu trails were the best. True mtb riding. No bike park manicured routes, just untamed!
  2. Having not rad the thread. I use Skitch bars on my Securi lid slider. SKITCH Bed Racks And Accessories
  3. Closed! Years ago!
  4. I will take it out of the garage over the weekend and take some pictures.
  5. I have the exat same Peugeot in same colour. My school commute bike. Bought in in 1985. I need a new saddle, please let me know if you perhaps find one. Mine still have the rear carrier on as well.
  6. Hubs might differ as well.
  7. Contact Lorraine in Pretoria East. They do a lot of bicycle work for insurance and most of the shops in Pretoria. Custom Wizard Creations. 082 784 0285
  8. Did the route with @Spinnekopjust before the Argus. Unless something have changed quite a lot of corrugations on all the gravel roads. Swartberg pass on both sides very rutted and hasn't seen a grader in a while! Still beautiful and spectacular. The tar section from the end of Oude Muragie road to Kobus se gat should not be taken too lightly! One long never ending road!!
  9. I see there is some cats where there was only one person to start/finish. Does this person qualify for SA jersey if they were the only one riding in that age cat?
  10. UCI rules are ignored in South Africa, oh no wait!! Only some of them. Apply the UCI distance rules but not the bike rules with dropped bars! But in the end no one really cares. The SA road champs rides on gravel bikes and other bikes with their road SA jerseys. So its a free for all.
  11. Now my question will be! If I enter my age cat on a mtb and I win. Am I the gravel champ or the marathon champ?? This is a joke. If you want to apply UCI rules regarding age category distances then apply all the UCI rules consistently!!
  12. Middelwater road! Starts from PA side at the t junction with Klaarstroom and Beaufort Wes road. Spits you out in Meirings Poort! Part of the old Swartberg Gran Fondo route.
  13. Went up Edinburgh drive. saw someone on a mtb with back pack with batteries in. It then started making sense when his better half on her e bike started pulling up and away from the bunch. So he was the mule for the batteries and in exchange she pulled hi up all the hills by holding on.
  14. @Spinnekop and I did some rides there last week! Speak to Arno as others suggest. The route partially over private property is very scenic! Oude Muragie road is stunning but challenging.
  15. I wonder if all ebikes entered as ebikes?
