Call me the stirrer, but arent (most of us) suckers for a lekker skinderstorie... I read somewhere someone throwed a tantrum at one of the WP, anyone with inside scoop?

While on topic, can i go semi off-topic? When flying, do one deflate the tires? I'm scared i cant get it seated again when reaching the destination if i deflate...

Mmmmmmm ......

Spinnekop..... Ek het my Cape Epic gedoen in 2013, en n Swiss Epic in 2022... Bear in mind, ek het in 2012, nadat ek ingeskryf het my eerste 29er MTB gekoop. Tot dan was ek n full out roadie wat n 16kg 26er in die winter gery het vir fun en koffie. Die CE was die hardste ding wat ek nog gedoen het! Ek sal sonder om te skroom teruggaan om die Swiss Epic te doen! Dit is of OP of af, maar amazing. Ek het dit makliker gevind as die CE. Roetes is nie so erg technical nie en (ek dink in my geval) die weer in Augustus in Switserland is baie lekkerder as Maart in die Kaap. Die stages is wel korter, maar beslis meer klim (ek sal hieronder n opsomming maak tussen die twee) Ek is bevoorreg om volgende maand Croatia toe te gaan, sal laat weet hoe dit was 😉 CE 2013 // SE 2022 P 23km 700m 1 103km 2500m // 59km 2250m 2 145km 2350m // 79km 2600m 3 92km 1950m // 63km 2200m 4 106km 1900m // 100km 2400m 5 75km 1800m // 58km 1850m 6 100km 2950 7 54km 1500m T 698km 15650m // 359km 11300m My calc se 22.42m/km vir CE en 31.47m/km vir SE

Its getting real ... Which other hubbers are going

apparently it is not to early to start the 2026 HUB THREAD 😘

Lets turn the discussion back to the FUN that was had .... I'll start ... With the onderstebo oom .....

Oom ChrisF Ons het een dag ontmoet op bottelary toe ek my dogter vir haar eerste bikeride gevat het. Sy het van toe af min aandag aan haar fiets gegee agv skoolwerk en -sport. Ek het einde verlede jaar met haar n bet aangegaan en needless to say, sy ry haar eerste 'argus' die jaar. Ons het in die HEEL laaste groep begin in die 99er - haar eerste 'race' EN group ride! Ons is ge'upgrade' na H! Sodra jy ons vang, gaan ons in jou slip ry ..... (Moenie vir die ander hubbers se nie!!!!) Groete JP

Op die plek.... AANDAG !! Hoe gaan dit ???????

Neeeeeeeee 🤮

Yoh This thread is dead quiet..... Months of speculation at what is happening at Ineos, Pidcock joined Dougie's outfit.... (very tongue in cheeck, so dont kill me keyboard warriors, "we all know how Cav's move to Dougie played out...") Demi to stay on a Spez... 🆒

Its December!!! And im reviving a 19-voetsek thread! Any hubber around this holidays? Or even better any hubber that can share rides and/or secret routes?

Last year this time Drikus were almost in Ceres, now his hitting the Tankwa. That head wind mustve been crazy this year

Is Alwyn sleeping at RV3? He is there over 2hrs already? I see AMBO3 is there, hope theres not something wrong

I dont see an official 2024 thread for the Munga... Safe to assume we can use this one for 2024 to keep Jewbacca's dream alive? Sorry to hear you cant be on the startline, there's always next time! I see Drikus is already in race mode! I met Alwyn Dippenaar a few years back while he was on holiday in Yzerfontein, i see he is riding in the top 5 currently.

No, i get that, and i didnt mean they are not allowed to set their prices with everything taken in account. I am just saying its getting to much for me, so i am opting out at this stage. And i really really want to go ride

I also looked at that price and thought WTH! Still havent entered 😞

" Vriend van ons Nihan was vnoggend so 8h se kant beroof. Hy het Helshoogte oor gekom vanaf Pniel en regs gedraai by verkeerslig op R44. Hulle het teen opdraend hom gegryp, kon net weg kom met selfoon, hy het bietjie stry op gesit toe hulle fiets wou vat. Die hele Stellenbosch area is duidelik nou n hotspot " As received on a cycling WA group last night, seems 'old' hotspots in Stellies are being targeted again

Thanks @lukelockie and @Kylie! I did it, i entered! Now to get all the logistics in order. Like a kid with a new toy excited!! 😎 Hopefully there are a few more hubbers going to get the the discussion and motivation going ...

Probably not the right topic for this question. but im doing it anyway. Why would Alan pursue road ambitions?

What a rockstar!

FYI, Back up and running 😎

so, whatz heppenieng?
