We bought this Ravo tandem here on The Hub for under R5k. Slapped on some 32mm gravel tyres and a flared handlebar and raced Around the Pot. So much fun! Keep your eye on the classifieds, from time to time there is nice tandems for sale at low prices. I see there is one now for R8900 here on the hub, open to offers. The size would probably also fit you guys. (M/S or M/M) The drivetrain is like any drivetrain, nothing special. Just get something robust. We got XT rear derailleur and 105 front derailleur with 105 sti's and mechanical disc brakes. Next upgrade would be hydraulic disc brakes because it takes some braking to slow down two people! The previous owner replaced the fork with a cheap alu R1k gravel fork to fit the front disc brakes, and at the rear the frame has a mounting point for disc brakes.

My secretary just asked me what the prize money was for the winner. I couldn't answer her, so tried searching the CTCT website and Google with no luck. Anyone know? I remember in like 2010 there was a big discussion about how a 30 000+ cycling event only has a 1st prize of +-R15 000 vs Two Oceans with 8000 runners R150 000. Hopefully Tyler won closer to that!

Pro Tip: If you catch the tailwind you can free the 70km from Tankwa Padstal to Tankwa Tented Camp in under 2hrs. https://www.instagram.com/p/CyLWKQ8Kxsa/

Unbound Gravel is probably the biggest gravel race in the world and it has something like 45km of single track and jeep track. It's mostly to link up different sections of open gravel roads.

Exactly! When I started cycling in 2018 I did a Kerk bazaar MTB race in Worcester that gave me a A-batch seeding for Karoo 2 Coast. And from there a 1C seeding for CTCT.. and 2h52 on my first Argus haha.

WP Cycling has league races, but they don't count towards PPA seeding as far as I know. That cat racing is also 'n bietjietjie warmer than the PPA races! As mentioned above, PPA One Tonner, Winelands, 99er and Tour de PPA are your best bet to help you increase your seeding. If you have a MTB, try and do Karoo to Coast in September.. that should give you a decent seeding for One Tonner, and from there you should move up a few batches with each race if you put in the training.

@Tiny K we wanna see your stats as well.. must be 375W NP, right?

Winelands, 99er and Tour de PPA.

Got this foldable balance bike on Temu for R1500. Pleasantly surprised with the quality! Now my son just have to grow into it.

Suddenly glad I was forced to to sell my entry 😅. That year with the rain and hail still too fresh in my mind that even this slight probability of rain and headwind makes my eye twitch.

That was fun! And much faster than expected.. Even managed to klap four beers and exchange some stories at the finish line before making it back to Wellington in time for the Bokke game!

Can't really ask for a better day than this! Just spare some matches for that final 50km... Ride forecast for 31 Aug 2024 at 07:10: Temperature: 12.7°C to 25°C, feels like 11.1°C to 27.1°C Wind: 3.7 to 13.9 km/h, with gusts up to 22.3 km/h Probability of precipitation: 0%

I was thinking of stopping in Main Road as you enter town somewhere in front of a coffee shop instead of on the field. Sommer warm up that few kms through town to the start line.

I second Kroff Cycles in Lady Grey Street. Oom Dippies has trued many wheels of mine over the years.. (some even for free while I wait)

I felt like calling the Grootvader quite a few times in the final 30kms! That wind and hills combo made me feel like ou bene.

Ride forecast for 27 Jul 2024 at 08:00: Temperature: 8.4°C to 19.3°C, feels like 7°C to 15.8°C Wind: 8 to 29.6 km/h, with gusts up to 65 km/h 1% probability of precipitation

Is it your Garmin that says 1161m? Garmin tends to under estimate elevation. My Wahoo says 1742m and my route on Strava says 1743m.

I was also looking at these two trainers a few years ago, and most comparisons/reviews leaned towards the Kickr Core, but ended in a toss-up because the price of the Suito was better. Sounds like that's not the case anymore, so I'd go with the Core. Personally I went with a Kickr 4 that I managed to get for R14999 at CWC on discount. I figured buying a Core and a cassette I'm already close to that amount, so made sense at the time to make that extra R1500 jump to the Kickr 4. And off course, Wahoo (Ikhambi Distributions) after sales support is great.

She said in the description fork changed to a SID.. definitely same bike, no question about it Edit: I think the Desert Dash pic is more recent. There the rotors and fork match the ad.

A friend sent me a video of the overflow he took this morning. It is overflowing, but trickling in comparison to last week.
