Selous Scout (aka LegTrap)

I did the RideLondon event.Great event,well organized with an awesome route.It felt like I was doing the TDF with so many spectators lining the streets,it was simply unbelievable support.

E-bikes are not only for the ‘fat & lazy’ ! They certainly do not mess up any trails and clearly should and will not compete in races other than their own category.As someone also previously mentioned,they have a maximum speed assistance of 25km/ hr which won’t therefore always be of assistance. If it is going to get more people riding bikes then what is the problem ! Rather than retiring from cycling due to age/health issues etc,cyclists now have another option. They are not totally dissimilar to one cyclist having a R5000 bike with lousy components and weighing a ton as opposed to someone else they are competing against with a R50 000 or even R100000 bike. They are part of the future in cycling,so let’s accept that and ALL have some fun.

Looking forward to doing the 50km but waiting to see the route/profile

I have had 2 spinal fusions and after trying numerous saddles bought a B-17 and have never looked back.They don't like water so be careful.

I am moving to Hermanus in a few months so looking for some mtb'ing trails/routes please.I guess it is not safe to ride on your own,so looking for a group that goes out regularly but nothing too hectic. Can someone please recommend a good place to look/start.I see there is a cycle shop over the road from Hemel en Aarde Estate where I am going to be living,they could be worth a visit to check all this out I guess.

This is good news

I cannot see any alternative other than changing the route.I somehow doubt whether it would be cancelled,too many people have flights/hotel's etc booked and paid for. I am flying down to Cape Town tomorrow morning no matter what the decision is. In the meanwhile I will pray for everyone affected by this terrible tragedy.

We will be in Melbosstrand from the 27th December and hoping to ride from there on the cycle path into town and then on to Camps Bay etc.My question is how safe is it to ride on the cycle path as I have seen a few comments re muggings along there.

Awesome news,hope her and Ashleigh give it horns.What an amazing athlete

An amazing talent we have here and looking for bigger things next year.After looking good for most of the race last Saturday (UCI road champs) she lost it towards the end and finished 20th.I really thought she was in with a good chance to get a top 5 position but without having a bigger team to help her,it became a tall ask.

"Training" should now really be done.Do NOT underestimate this race,it is long and has lots of climbing,the downhills are over quickly and you start climbing again. It can get terribly hot so make sure you stay hydrated.There is plenty of good food along the way so take a few gels and/or bar's with.

I placed an order for 2 Geax Saguaro 29x2.2 tyres on Wednesday and on arrival at home yesterday the package was waiting for me.Not only the BEST PRICE from them but great service.

As an employee of Standard Bank and as a resident of Port Elizabeth,this is AWESOME news.

I will be there but wish the Fischer's corner (spelling !) section had not been included as the road is so bad for road bikes.

I read each of the top 3 on your list but not each one every issue.I enjoy Tread magazine the best but the other's can also have some good articles.
