What a privilege to roll this event after 10 years of hiatus. The South African spirit or ‘gees’ at its most beautiful best - from volunteers to the local community welcoming the cycling community.

Health is the crown of top of well people’s head that only ill people can see.

Adventure beckons 🫵🏽

MONDAY MOTIVATION "When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking." — Arthur Conan Doyle

I will call you Oom from now on, Oom.

I hope you’re a woman. Because it feels like you’re flirting with me. 💋

Snippets while it is quiet in the off-season: Remco to focus on his climbing superpowers whilst maintaining his TT capabilities? Tadej aims to improve and become a better ride rider in 2025. Yikes. Jonas seems to be laying down some base miles already in the pre-season, resetting his career almost after a rough 6-7 months. Many eyes on former top team Ineos-Grenadiers as they reboot and hire new management, partner with a German-based team as a form of talent supply, and the ongoing drama with having a world-class mountain biker who seems to struggle to be in a team environment. Primoz chirps in a recent interview that he is planning his racing days by avoiding the races that his compatriot Pogacar will be partaking in. The UCI have new rules in place that teams must avoid colours that makes the various leaders' jerseys indistinguishable in the peloton. Astana partners up with a WT licensed Chinese entity that also builds carbon bikes. No more Wilier - the bike that carried the Manx Missile successfully through Project 35. Sauce: CyclingNews

Most of my encounters with e-bikes, whether on them trailz or tarmac, have been with an adolescent mindset with a superiority complex. I would say that because one have motorised assist, one should be even more self-aware, lower the impulse to be impatient and frustrated. Share the trails, Sweetie.
