    I've done the Swartberg Pass twice during the CPT and a few times during training, and the last 3 km of the pass should not be underestimated even if it is less technical. It gets lekker steep, so for a Cx bike with a 36x32 you might be planning for some walking, especially if you have burnt too many matches earlier on.

    My connection to Calitzdorp is called Bo-plaas..... Oh and I regularly stay on the Groenfontein farm just east of town!!! Very relaxed with no cell reception.

    Glenhoff Craft beer (at a great price) is a must on the hotel stoep!!

    Ha, ha, ha - the year of the storm I was in the form of my life that year. First year senior. But when I heard that rain pelting on the roof in the early morning hours - I went back to sleep. Wiele was a poster boy for rule #5. So too Hans and Pierre!!!

    Three legends on the cover Wiele - which was my mentor and coach in the early '80's Hans - Amateur legend Pierre - another amateur legend and a good friend of mine

    T-touch Solar (ala last Mission Impossible) looks gorgeous!!

    Looove the bike. I also have a Giant TCR with the ISP - kitted in 11 spd Chorus.

    The more you hurt in training, the quicker the hurt will be over in the race :-)

    If there was only money in my bank account....

    Strava think it's more like 11%. Couple of 100 metres

    So who's planning to ride this event? Looks lekker!!

    Hey Blitzer, you getting soft :ph34r:

    Fully agree Thor. Give me the 2014 version any day. Singletrack Prologue at Buffelsdrift. Suffering up the Swartberg and Kamanassie - athough I hated the suffering, I looooved it. This is not Pioneering at all. Looks more than a double Sani2C.

    Looks like a nice gravel grinder event!!

    Should be an interesting route. The Clarens-Bethlehem-Fouriesburg loop is 120 km, so I would guess they added a 30km out and back portion towards Golden Gate? Not that clear from the profile.

    Where is Carla O?

    Agree, and look at this from a different angle. With such a small testing pool, why does it take 4 years for SAIDS/CSA to get a positive test result from Yolande? Strengthen by the fact that she declared the use at every doping control?
  20. Underachiever
    Interesting... My initial reaction - another doper.. great that she got busted!! But Coincidentally I watched the Namib Quest MTB race last night that I PVRed a while back. They had an interview with Yolande. Mother of 3 kinds - that are out of school already, so she's probably my age (40+). Oudtshoorn resident, racing for Sasol ladies, but not a pro. She struck me as a Klein Karoo soul that enjoys cycling - down to earth, no chip on her shoulder, etc, etc, etc. We'll probably never know all the true facts on this case, but up until all the facts surface, I will not carry a pitch fork. I just have another feeling on this one.

    Great read from a great storyteller. More "hartseer" than his earlier works.

    For the Afrikaans guys on this thread (that reads books) - give the books of Dana Snyman a chance. Writes a lot about the older days, the good, and the bad.
  23. Underachiever
    Whohoo!!

    Agree, was a weak show - but couldn't help to ogle over Julia every week. Same for Banshee - Jessica is a hottie.

    Chemical Engineers never give up. Well done Ash!!
