Also have a look at the range at Specialized

Physio in the morning .... Ride in the afternoon ....

. Many holiday riders that dont know the trails ... then again, sadly so, many regulars that turn one-way sections into two-way trails. Even Granny Gear coaches letting their kids walk up sections of Lombards to session it ... Stop your bike at 45-degrees, blocking the trail. Calmly explain it is one-way, and that their actions are dangerous.

I get up to 70km on 500W.h. I have done 200km with this setup, that also included Franschhoek. Around here there are no long routes without lots of climbs. Might be interesting to see what the range would be without all this climbing.

That aint no joke !! Bellville to Stellenbosch was breezy this morning. Once over Helshoogte it was a perfect day !!! Coming back .... ouch !!!! With 120km in the legs the South Easter along Bottelary was proper high intensity training .....

Step ONE .... very few of these racks truly accommodate two boost frames ..... (jip, sure, some of the latest models claim to fit boost size MTB's next to each other) Best look at a 3 bike rack. Why is a Merc/BMW better than a VW/Toyota/Ford ? Thule is expensive .... but it offers very good value, and thats why it remains in the market. Sure, Holdfast, and now a few others, do offer decent value for money .... I was going to say that spares are readily available for Thule, but a few threads have questioned that .... I do know that Holdfast is a strong SA brand, and all bikes shops can order in their spares for you. All said, if you can add the bit extra for Thule .... you wont regret it.

Is it still an un-supported ride when you know where you are getting thee best pitstop ? First proper long ride this summer. Banhoek Padstal is fast turning into our favorite stop. With 100km in the legs this is a welcome sight .....

Obviously Swartberg pass, possibly some way to De Hell ... I enjoyed the ride out on Weltevrede road to the farm at the end of the road. Nice coffee stop at this turning point ... depending on your dates, just call to check if they will be open. NOTE - couple of fruit farms on this road ... harvest time the road might be busy with trucks ... and possible corrugated from the seasons traffic. Out of season this road was an excellent ride. These are the obvious routes .... sure Arno has a few gems he can share with you.

I have the 530. I have switched the beeper off on the 530. Yes, to really tweak these units you need to play with the phone app.

Your questions are debate, not answered, here -

These threads sell "an event entry" ... There are By-laws that govern "events". It can be argued that no fine print or disclaimer can absolve the organiser of an event of these legal responsibilities....

Thanks to Dessie and Slow Coach

Cycle lab has the equivalent Titan ebike on special.

So .... almost a year later ... Has any Hubbers attended any of these events ? The 2025 events have been posted .... and seemingly no feedback on any of the 2024 events .....
