Make sure there is a basin to wash hands after visiting the loo. I get befooked if I cannot wash my hands after a trip to the public plastic loos.

Park the bike until you wake up one morning and feel like doing a ride.

It’s not their job to protect cyclists. The police is supposed to do it.

On another note, how does a typical day in the life of Matt look during Epic prep in one of those 25 hour weeks? What does he do for the rest of the day after a 4 hour morning session for example?

Budget = bottomless pit aka black hole...

Fooking crazy price. It’s getting ridiculous! Add R60k and buy a new BMW R1300GS

Petition to change the rules. Those who have completed the 36One can also enter for a solo TB.......

Who's taking shots? It looks to me like it's booming judging the prices of new bikes, helmets, shoes etc...

Try another battery and look at 3 second power. If it keeps doing the same then it’s faulty.

The question is, what do you eat before and after a ride? The past weekend I survived the Attakwas on 3 gels per hour for the last 3 hours and I started with 2 litres of Epic Pro mixed according to instructions. I did eat other stuff at the waterpoints as well, but not nearly enough to cover the carb requirements my body needs. You need to budget for at least 80g of carbs per hour. It doesn't matter where the carbs come from, but it must be available immediately for your body to burn it. You also need to eat something with fat during a long ride.

You’ve spent too much time in a shebeen.

Moving it to sell it…..do you know to whom they sell it to and how they market it? Most of the criminals know where to sell the bikes. If we can stop the buyers we can stop the muggings.

I saw quite a number of teams not actually following the race TTT format, including some podium finishers. You know who you are…..

Soos Anita sal sê, next fuc#€n level…respect

I don't know what you guys ate, but 99% of the food was great. The 1% not great was the plastic burger patties. Other than that we ate like kings! Lamb and beef for dinner, win!

Start with the clothing you intend to ride through the night with. Fresh clothing works wonders halfway through. Calitzdorp is very cold at 6 in the morning that time of year.

It’s officially cancelled

Good old Vaseline....smells like oil, but it works.

Send the 510 to Garmin, pay in a thousand or two and get a new unit.

Is Racetec still with us? I saw a rumour they don’t exist anymore. All media channels are also down.

Bosch must hang on for another 30 years or so….😎

Boohoo, they still haven’t designed better legs for us all, so it’s nothing special to spend a quick R20k on.

Not the same bike. The stolen one has different cranks and is a different model

So why did you cycle past all the signs reminding you to buy a permit/board only to find a marshall just appearing out of thin air reminding you again because you did not read the signs? Or is accessing private land without permission your hobby?
