I will, planning to make a few trips there during my time here. I'm quite sad that there aren't any trails in the Rockwell area, been using that road (Rockwell Drive I think?) and it looks so beautiful out there... I'm very tempted to take my bike there and see where some of those dirt roads go.

Slipperfieldsv trails are closed permanently for MTB, only trail runners allowed. So 3 Rivers Trails seems to be the only trail park in the area.

Cool, I'm here till the 8th.

How many km's would this ride be? Would it be safe to ride on my own?

I don't drink, but thanks anyways.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks, you're right, it's 22kms, somebody told me it's 60km's. Will give it a try in the week.

Hi guys, I'm in Uitenhage staying with my in laws for a few weeks. I wanted to know if there's any trails to ride in the area. I see there is Slipperfields, but that's about 60km's out for me. Anything in the Rocklands area?

Not a DOC ride, but I rode with DOC quite regularly to prepare for this one.

Rode from Rietvlei to a resort on the Vaal River (Deneysville area) on Saturday and rode back on Sunday with a group of really awesome guys. 108km's on Saturday an 91kms on Sunday. What a bloody awesome weekend.

Got here a bit late... 7 years, wonder if this ever materialised, I'm also down the road from Deneysville, in Veekraal

Doesn't really seem to be a trade in, quote states that my watch is unrepairable, and there is a 0% Discount on the the replacement... so looks like they're just quoting me a on a new Fenix 6 Pro.

Just got a quote of from Garmin for R9,658.85... to replace it with a fenix 6 Pro... WTF?

Yeah, sorry, was lazy go go back and check who it was after I already typed my message. That's not good news... you should send it back.

Had to take my Fenix 3 to Garmin today, watch was switching off everytime I pressed any of the buttons, and the altimeter seemed to have stopped working, wasn't too concerned about the altimeter but the switching off was a problem. Wanted to check here if anybody knows the what the current replacement costs are, I saw it was initially R2k and then I saw someone posted it costed R3k for the replacement.

Yeah, well not directly takealot, items are outsourced from other vendors. Sunnies supplied by 'Pure Endurance Solutions' and the Gloves supplied by 'MC Auto. Takelaot was still cheaper than buying directly from the suppliers though. I bought the gloves with eBucks.

Got me some 100% goodies from takealot. Finally got me a pair of cycling prescription sunnies after many, many years of wanting one.

So decided to try something last week and it seems to have worked. I cleared the Data and Cache on the Gamin App (Android), this meant I had to re-connect the watch to my phone etc. I saw there were some updates to some of my widgets, I updated them, and I haven't got an update request since then. It's been over a week now. Prior to doing this I was getting a request every single day.

Update available notification right now...

Hi, is anybody else getting software updates like almost every single day?

Is Duty on Helmets 25% or 44%? Whats the MOST I could expect to pay for this if I order it from CRC?

Did the 54km last year, bloody awesome race, thoroughly enjoyed it. Going to be missing it for the next three years due it falling in Ramadhaan. Hopefully it's still going to be happening in 2020...

Big ups to you for riding in this weather. If the weather looks miserable to me in the morning, I'm driving.
