You are correct, I've noted some changes to make the varia position better when mounted on the saddle.

First prototype complete, will keep you posted once I've tested it.

If you're based in CPT try: https://instagram.com/sambosigns?igshid=Yzg5MTU1MDY= Had a few custom stickers made , very good service.

Hi , I've been there about 3 weeks ago and assuming things havent changed just take a walk further up along the road from where the old entrance was. Theres a security booth infront of where the 'new' entrance is. Its not too far so you can still park your car at the usual place and take a stroll up the road.

So I've tried out this track the past weekend and this afternoon(with permit ofcourse). Seeing that im new to the track i know this isnt a very good observation but checking strava I've noticed that not many people ride the track(compared to the people riding past it up to rhodes)? Why is this? Im no Sauser but i think its a really cool course. Has abit of everything and is rather convenient and for the most part safe. Would be nice to see another sign of life out on the track other than the squirrels. Riding alone in a forest creeps me out .

@amir_lucas

Will you guys be doing the CTCT route this weekend perhaps ?

Try woodies at the V&A. Triple stacked heap of heaven!

keep left pass right

MY LEFT = HIS RIGHT . Sorry that i did not clarify this earlier. I was indeed riding on the proper side of the road obeying all rules. I had right of way which he ignored and hence the accident. Thanks so much to each and all for the support and inspiring stories. I hope to get on my bike soon again when im abit more mobile. My 29er suffered abit. Wheels are slightly buckled and i think the steerer is damaged. Havent gotten a chance to do a detailed check yet. If i do choose to do the Argus (which i probably will) I'll be using my roadie so its all good

I have just been a victim of careless driving. I was involved in a hit and run opposite the garden village soccer field yesterday which took place at about 18:20. A guy in a white MK1 golf stops as he wants to turn left (my left=his right) into a side road and sees me oncomming in the opposite direction . I have no idea what possesed this bufoon but as i approach (doing about 28kph on mtb) he decides he can no longer wait and turns in , at this time i am about less than 10m away from him. he tries to do it fast , i locked up my back wheel and squeezed the front brake lever hard as i tried to swerve slightly and i try to go around him. Too little too late , i cant really remember everything but i think his back bumper just clipped my front wheel and that sent my flying as the bike and i did a summersault and i landed hard on my left shoulder and face. Luckily a pinewatch car was behind the driver and saw everything that happened . I am really grateful for their assistance as they picked up my bike and called the ambulance. Big thanks to a cyclist passing by in a Scott Addict 20 (Sorry i forgot your name). This super hero asked where i lived and if anyone was home . He then did a 2km sprint to my house and notified my dad of what had just happened. Medics came to the scene. My dad then arrived and took me to the hospital up the road. Few Xrays and exams later sees me suffering from bruised tendons in my shoulder due to impact and landing. swelling to my chin and face. Muscle bruises and numbness in my left arm due to impact and swelling on some nerve running along my shoulder. A fractured finger and a few shiners. OH DID I FORGET TO MENTION THE DRIVER DROVE AWAY????? Pinewatch did not get registration number as they were more concerned with my well-being than the driver. I am however going to Maitland SAPS this morning to make a statement. I am very grateful to everyone who assisted me yesterday. Doc says i should return in 10 days for an exam on my shoulder. My left arm is currently in a sling and my finger taped up. The fracture in my finger should take atleast 4 weeks to heal he says. I am very very lucky as it couldve been much worse. There goes my training for my first CTCT along with my target time of sub4 (first timer). Motorists really need to consider us bikes on the road as well as the consequences of their impatience. Had the driver just waited for me to past which wouldve taken about 2 seconds. Everything wouldve been avoided.
