Try out William's bike shop in Somerset West. The workshop expertise are second to none.

Watching the dots is one of the highlights on my race calendar. Even better than grand tours as there are no rest days and you can check on your favourite dot 24 hours a day and chances are it will have moved. The only sad thing is when the dots get lost and shouting at your screen for them to turn back doesn't seem to help.

We as membership holders can't get past the payment process. I'm sure on the day everything will be correct. Paying on the website is where the problem lies. There is no option one can select that will allow one to enter with a membership only. All options currently require the entrant to have a full racing license. I am sure this is just a website error but it stops all categories except elite and junior from entering. Unless of course you feel like paying to upgrade your membership to a racing license.

Tim and I are both in Subvet.

I'm going to enter on Friday at registration because the website won't allow other categories to enter without a full racing license. I asked CSA and this was the reply. "When you racing under elite or junior you require a full racing licence , so if you chose all other category you will need a full racing licence"

Every other road race of the year I'm seeded in $ but when CTCT comes around I drop to the next group. Besides getting a top 10 there isn't much more I can do to be seeded better. So I was just wondering if they expect more payment to ride in $. This year I'm over trying to be fast, going to drop back to 2F and ride with mates.

Does one have to have a racing license to ride in $?

Hi, Back in April I was having a great time riding on Helderberg trails with buddies and then suddenly Hurricane claimed another victim. I decided it was time to give up the "Anthem is a trailbike dream", I removed the dropper and fat tyres and started planning... Today I have come to Post my Pyga: The couch photo: (Previous owner's couch, thanks Nigel) The paintwork was in a bad way, scuffs and chips allover, I am the 3rd owner after all. I just love the finish on the early OneTens with the raw clearcoat so I set about removing the paint. Dodgy bearings replaced and all back together. Mattoc on loan from the LBS (thanks Will) Finished it off with 1x10 (34 x 11-36) drivetrain and whatever I could scrape together raound the garage. After a run down Helderberg the next day it was obvious the 720mm bars had to go and the gearing was quite taxing uphill so I ordered an oval ring and riser bars from Rapide. The rear is pretty much dialled but I'm yet to get the Mattoc exactly how I want it. Vinyl decals and wheels to follow shortly.

With a lot of commitment and commuting through the cape flats to work. No time spent in traffic gives you a lot more time to love your bike.

This would actually be a three-peat but we'll have to wait and see how the judges rule on Vinnige Fanie. Shout out to the girls who dominated this year. Also I'd be nothing without my wife's support and she even joined me for a few rides this year.

Bikehub will scrutinise all the winners rides and will come to a fair decision. It's easy to sling mud and be a sore loser. So in the final days I'm going to keep riding as hard as I can regardless and let the judges do the adjudicating. I've been amazed at the support from fellow cyclists friends and strangers alike, its been an honour to ride with you all. Ham!

I honestly can't remember. I was fascinated by them a while back, I was amazed at their long necks, fluffy coats and weird behaviour. I even went to visit them at the alpaca loom on Suid-Agter-Paarl Road.

Edit: What Admin said. I just think its cool that someone has come up with a competition where you don't have to like and share their facebook page or hashtag & tag them in a selfie.

Cool I could use some company this weekend.

Well I did come 3rd overall in the W2W Ride 2015, so I'm not totally useless on a MTB. Sadly I don't have enough to win the challenge this year, Fanie is putting in some truly scary rides and most of them are hidden for the past week. His 9th sept totalled 228km (last unhidden rides). As I said before, I have my own goal and I'll stick to the plan. The Ham Plan!
