  1. Had a bit of rain last night, not mutch, but snot on parts where grader worked, hopefully sun dries it today.
  2. Have a lookout for the sign! (didn't won the lottery, so stock will be limited) Old Brown Sherry for the cold and beer of the carbs!
  3. Had this great idee of handing out free beer as the bikes pass our farm, but the problem is you pass me at 58km... Don't think anyone will want a beer at 10'Oclock in the morning with 11*C temperatures!!!
  4. Op die staduim 98% van die pad is droog. Die ander 2% is net nat, Tarentaal-(photo) baie water. Vryheid- water loop oor pad(Klein stroompie), Malanskraal- paar kolle in drif en waar oor werf gaan, Haarwegskloof-so 1km wat water in pad syfer. Tussen die nat-kolle trek die stof die stof. Dus as jy voor ry gaan jy bietjie nat word, as jy agter ry gaan jy vuil word. Die pad is 100% beter as 2022 se modder.
  5. Verskoon my taal, maar my Engels is op die oomblik net so vrot as wat my fiksheid is. Het vandag en afglope 3 dae groot dele van die 100miler se roete gery. Dit is soos roete op die oomblik lyk en kan baie verander indien ons reen kry en hy verander selfs agv daai manne wat in die geel lorries ry en so lekker op 'n graaf kan hang. Soos iemand reeds gese het het ons aansienlik minder reen hier in Swellendam gekry as die res van die Kaap. En dan het ons hier waar julle gaan ry, nog minder reen as in die dorp, onder die berg gekry, maar aangesien dit 'n nat jaar was tot hede, loop die fonteine nog sterk: party in die pad en ander oor die pad. Huidiglik is die pad droog. Die hoof grondpaaie, Napkei, Malgas, Platrug en Ouplaas-pad is drooi sonder modder-gate. Dis die kleiner paadjies wat die groot grond-paaie verbind is wat nat kolle het (en seker modder gaan word as jy deel is van die laaste fietse wat daar deur-gaan) Dis nie die hele pad nie, maar die fonteine gaan nie teen die naweek ophou loop nie, en 'n padskraper gaan ook nie iets daar kan doen nie. Let wel, dis net kolle op die verbindings-paaie. Soos ek gese het kan dinge vinnig verander, want hier loop reeds 'n padskraper en op 2 plekke het hulle die nat kontein-kol uitgegrawe om dit beter te maak. Ek dink die nuwe roete gaan jul 'n ander deel van die ruggens was, of soos ek altyd se: Die gat-kant van die wereld Geniet jul Race
  6. There might be a light drizzel in Swellendam itself ( It rains a lot more close to the mountain) at the start, but for most of the route I don't think it would be a issue. Some of the area where we are riding haven't even seen rain when Noag launched the Ark!! I do however hope I'm wrong, we do need the rain desperately! (Just not on this Saterday...)
  7. Ten miste kan van die troepe hulle geniet terwyl ek moet werk????
  8. Hi CWC. How about some much needed tools to fiddle with (or destroy) our bikes. You can only polish a bike that hasn't seen the road in days so much! I need the PRO TORQUE TOOL/WRENCH that is for sale at R1,799.99 (1% discount) Hope you can do a proper discount (I need to save money to buy whine after the lock-down ends!!!) Thanks
  9. I did see some work being done, filling of holes in the road, at waterpoint 1 yesterday.
  10. Have a good steak for a good cause!????
  11. Think it’s gonne be a misty start. The mist hang every morning till about 10am. Swellendam might get a little rain Friday, but out on the route it’s dry with no prediction of rain. (We would appreciate the rain, our crops are in desperate need of it!!) All and all I think it’s gonne be a great day for cycling the in the Ruens. I don,t think the road is quite as smooth as last year,( but that’s just me thinking of a excuse if I don’t beat my own time of last year) I’m realy looking forward to a awsome day here on my backdoor.
  12. The road is non-technical, but never flat, you will however want to build on your core strength. ( A strong core makes it easier to go up a hill while you are laughing at all the jokes being told in the bunch.) This race has a great vibe!!!
  13. Was thinking about trying to do my first sub 3 this year ,but then I saw the wind prediction for next Sunday! Are there something to be concerned about or is it only me?
  14. If you need a piece of nice meat to eat, this is for a good cause!
  15. The cannonball was actually a nice guy with buckets of skill! He even gave her chocolates to say sorry (After she gave him a piece of her mind!) Not every day you get hit by the winner of the MUNGA Sad to say that finish venue was disappointing, but the woman racing wat great! Kekkel&Kloek finished 3rd in there category!
