Lynnae

Thanks so much for keeping an eye out. I rode from Noordhoek peak towards the the start of the Tokai single track. So alot of area unfortunately ????

I stupidly put my car keys in my saddle bag only to find out it had escaped a few hours later. Lesson's have been learnt. If anyone picks up a Nissan key with a red cable tie please get in contact. I have a feeling it's a km or two before the start of the Tokai single track. Thanks so much Lynnae

Does anyone know have many riders pulled out of this year's event/ percentage that finished? With the hectic temperatures ( 46/47 degrees) and that headwind I saw alot of riders bailing. Glad it's moving back to May next year, not so sure how safe it was riding in those conditions.

My 3 year old kicker snap 2 has become incredibly noisy and needs repair - suspect the bearings are toast As it is out of warranty I need to send it to repair centre to Pretoria - I'm in Cape town so that's not ideal. Been quoted R1000 for a initial check up & clean to start with Does anyone know if there is a local company in Cape town that could look at the unit or had similar problems? Thanks

It was 2b/c yes Agreed, no fault of the organizers - do think the bunches were a bit big though. I was hoping sticking to the right would save my bacon if something happened but the crash was so big few were spared. This was my first and hopefully last time eating asphalt. Now to go find a new helmet

Thank you for all the replies everyone. I thought as much & just wanted some clarity.

I was involved in one the ctct crashes yesterday and was wondering if there is anyway us riders can claim back for some damages from the event? Medical expenses, torn bibs, shirts, broken bikes etc. Etc. Has anyone done this or do we just suck it up and move on?

I was in the 2C crash and waiting to get some lekker stitches (yay) From what I heard someone swerved, clipped a wheel and took out a rider or two. Thereafter it was chaos. It looked like dominos - I managed to slow down but got hit from behind. I would say it was propably more than 10 of us hitting the deck. My Garmin says I was doing 35 km/h before getting airborne. - fyi tether your Garmin folks Managed to carry my bike to a waterpoint where a miracle worker managed to get both wheels to turn and derailleurs to shift. Glad I could finish the race but I will stay out of big twitchy bunches for a while I think. Congratulations to everyone who got their PB today

Does anyone perhaps know the approximate size of the rider race containers?

Hi, does anybody perhaps have approximate distances/km readings for the 4 waterpoints for Gran Fondo? Thank you

I rode with the famous Mamil? Great meeting you It was hard leaving the utopian braai stop (I still have visions of Granny's mustard and venison)

What a incredible day out riding in Montagu. The Nova was tough (and I almost became one with the scorching earth) but the amazing lunch stops (and descent at Keisie was so worth it) You could really feel the love for cycling (and bicycles!) on Saturday. Was great meeting you all, hopefully see some of the Nova riders in Prins Albert next month

Thank you for this scammer list! - just received a suspicious message exactly like the one listed above from a "Barry Smith" He contacted me via WhatsApp and email.
