  1. 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...)
  2. Ten miste kan van die troepe hulle geniet terwyl ek moet werk????
  3. 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
  4. I did see some work being done, filling of holes in the road, at waterpoint 1 yesterday.
  5. 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.
  6. Wat se Andrew van die voorval of is dit maar net weer n Chris Willimse take-over?
  7. 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!!!
  8. 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?
  9. If you need a piece of nice meat to eat, this is for a good cause!
  10. 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!
  11. My wife did ride this morning and had one awsome day!! She did get hit by a fellow rider who rode faster than his skill could handle... all bruised-up but noting broked. Nice to see how they hold there own against the pro-riders! (Who are still much faster than normal humans..) Team Kekkel&Kloek are doing some low-level flying, for two chickens of course!!!
  12. Hi, there are very nice places to ride from Struisbaai. From the Caltex garage, head back to Bredasdorp till you get the Elim turn-off, turn left.(If there are traffic just ride on the grass next to the road) Do about 10km gravel-road till the Brandfontein turn- Left, After about 5km turn right off the gravel onto single-track This will take you over the little mountain (think it's called Soetmuisberg and down the other side to the beach Brandfontein) The climb up isn't to bad with very little sand, but down are quite eroded and you must look-out for deep holes in the track. Once down you can ride single track back to the Elim gravel-road the way you came or if the tide is low, you can ride on the beach til you get to Suiderstrand. If you choose your lines correct the sand will ride very nice. I will try to attach my ride beginning of the year (Not sure how.) Will also be in Struisbaai later this weekend. Nope I'm to stupid to attach a Garmin Course. Sorry
  13. Finding Container at Checkpoint: You guys that have done the race before, how long does it take to get your container at the checkpoints? At 36One we customized the boxes with something to make it stand-out, but I see you are not allowed at TB. Any tips on this?
