Selous Scout (aka LegTrap)

He appears to be very confident and even answers his phone.I certainly hope the police can track him.The sad thing is I will probably not get my bike back BUT I would Love to see him sit in jail for a good few years.

Stolen: Scott E-bike Spark 910 2017 When: 25 September 2019 Where: Cape Town, Western Cape As per above.Stolen in front of Heldeberg Cycle World close to Somerset Mall Get further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section

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.

I have recently bought an e-bike which I use once a week to ease the pressure off my back (I have had 2 spinal fusions). I would love to do the K2C again but having queried the race organizers who have not bothered to respond,does anyone know if this is permitted ie to use an e-bike (Scott 710).

I am looking to watch the stages around Arabella Wines,is anybody able to give me the best viewing spots and where would I find it.Thanks

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

I don't think my current cycling partners like riding in the cold much lol.I am looking for partner/s to ride regularly with,that is,I generally use my Mtb for rides from Euodia cycles to Grotto on the road or do the Urban Assault/do a ride to Kleinmond or the Klaarwyderskraal loop etc.I have done the Blue route in the valley recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am not looking for racing snakes but rather someone to go out and enjoy the rides and at a reasonable pace.I am fairly open about what time but around 0800 in winter suits me. If any men or women are keen please inbox me your details and I will make contact.I see quite a number out on their own which is probably not too safe.

I am moving to Hermanus in December but will be there from Thursday 13th October for about 10 days.I am bringing my mtb down with me.Are there any regular rides (nothing hectic or too pacy lol) that I could possibly join..... even 2 or 3 riders would be fine.I don't mind riding on the road if that is possible too. If I were to ride on my own on the Hemel en Aarde trails,would it be safe and possibly out towards Stanford. Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated.

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.

I did the last 8 days of the 2014 TDF with Sports International UK.You can either chose to only be a spectator or cycle some of the route prior to the BIG boys coming through.Your coach will take you to a point and then you either walk around a wait or cycle the section previously mentioned. You need to choose when you want to watch/cycle ie the big mountain days or the flatter routes.If you are not a decent climber I would suggest you give the big climbs a miss as they are seriously tough. We hired bikes through Sports INt which were pretty decent Scott's but most of those on the tour took their own.This to me would have been a logistical nightmare as you have to catch train's/busses/taxi's and walk along street's with all of your luggage. You could do it on your own but I would think some knowledge of the area is needed.Now that we have done the Pyrenees stages we could probably hire a car and do our own thing as we have some idea. We obviously watched on the Champs Elysees and had a good spot but don't forget they simply fly passed on each lap. If I knew the area better I think a camper van would be the best way to do it.Just remember that hotel's in France generally have very small rooms. All in all it is an awesome experience but as already suggested,go prepared. What we did find a bit strange is that you don't see many stalls selling TDF goodies etc.

He had a fall or two in the Tour de Daulphine and even though he was hurt rather badly, he continued.Three more falls in the TDF became too much,I think his body must have been in aches and pains aplenty. A real pity as I was hoping to see lots of him on the Tour (leaving on Sunday to watch the rest of it)

I only did the MTB ride but have heard from a number of mates that the 2 extra climbs on the new section were extremely tough and probably not for the average roadie.I overheard someone who had just finished saying he will never do it again.

This is an awesome ride/race,wish I could do it again this year but we leave for France on the same day ie to watch the TDF.
