Pure Savage

No, no, no, the best is that its only a little soft, no puncture, just forgot to pump it up with track pump. Then decides he is going to bomb it, simple, plenty of time. Starts to bomb it but the group moves forward, so he tries to keep up with the bomb adapter still attached, the wheel catches the ground and the bomb inserts itself into the frame and snaps the valve off. NOW THERE IS A PANIC. Everyone gets to watch a guy change a tube in 3 minutes!

I prefer to spread the carnage out a little, have the strung out Peloton at tops of Smits, drop the bottle or two, then in Misty Cliffs the sitting on the wheel normally causes another pile up. Spread out the love.

Dont forget about that crazy oke on the BMX

We planning on making it as close to the real thing as possible. So we will have people in the group doing the following: 1. Shout Hoopla at the start 2. Will get my Aunt to pull through in a yellow bib and tell us we are in the wrong start chute and then pretend to take a start card and check for a timing chip 3. Someone will forget Garmin/water bottle. 4. Someone's power meter will refuse to calibrate and the will panic in the chutes. 5. Someone will shout "hold your line" and then jump on their brakes in panic. 6. Someone will wave like a moron to his whole family almost taking out the whole bunch in Fish Hoek. 7. Someone will rock up on a MTB and remind you every 5 minutes that he is keeping up with roadies while never seeing the front of the group. 8. Someone will decide to set their front derailer the night before the ride and drop the chain and never be seen again. 9. Someone will ride off the front before Simons Town, only to get reeled in 1km later. 10. There will be mandatory over taking spots on the gravel up Smitswinkel. 11. We will throw waterbottles onto the ground while going down the nature reserve. 12. We will have 3 tandems start in Misty Cliffs which the whole group can sit behind. 13. We will fly down a Jozie boet to shout profanaties at the whole group while in between telling everyone that will chat to him how his S -Works Aethos is better than the SL-7. 14. We will have a lady throwing bar ones at you at Red Hill. 15. Once we arrive at chappies, we will have people serving up dead wheels left right and centre. 16. We will make sure there are at least 4 nervous okes going down mini chappies braking creating a massive gap. 17. Will organize that dude with the hose pipe on suikers to wash us down. 18. Will have a Virgin Active gym boet at the top of Suikers telling you to "spin it to win it" 19. Will have that one guy updating the whole group of the estimated time for the day and how far behind the sub 3 we are currently. 20. Will add some random hay bales on all the wrong corners. 21. Will open up the sprint for the line in Sea Point and get dropped before Green point. Anything we missed?

Will be decent after Simons Town, before that there are going to be robots etc so racing through there wont be ideal. No planned stops en route.

Would do that but just too many robots along there. Will probably have some sort of vehicle following the group to carry spare wheels etc as well.

We made it for this weekend Sunday. https://www.strava.com/clubs/21210/group_events/871720 We going to throw in some Rhodes drive instead of the Highway. Also, its my favourite road.

Lets please remember that the M3 is still a highway in March even though there is a virtual cycle tour.

1/10th of the gear.

Can't everest properly, can't give up cycling properly.

Mine was painted on ...

Have just the thing...

Congrats!

Sunday is going to be a blast!

Should have asked to complete the name "Team Pure Savage" If going to use the colours..

2 passes ride from Spice Route.

Approve of the bike, sad for the #SaveTheRimBrake

Pretty happy.

That shot of them standing next to car in the fashion clothes feels like a christmas photo with your inlaws when you first started dating.

Tried getting them on board as a lube sponsor like all other SA cyclists on instagram

This thread reminds me of the first think I learnt back on the hub from Johan Bornman, (May have gotten the name wrong) I was using stupid lube and nonsense on chain. Told me to get sewing machine oil. Apply, wipe of excess and ride. Super cheap and actually works. So much to learn on lebikehub

Flip, I thought everyone got their LBS to wash and lube their bikes? How else do we show support to our LBS? Also, gives an excuse to look at new bikes IRL.

Same as when people debate aero or climbing bike, then decide on aero bike, because speed, Then they set it up with 60mm of spacers, 80mm stem and flaring shirts and sit in the bunch all day. Wish bike marketing became simpler: Buy this bike, it will make you want to ride more and it makes parts of you tingle.

I have my gravel bike now covered in bags. I can take a whole coffee brewing set along including the grinder.
