  1. Black Sheep Bikes at Hoogekraal have a shop ride around Hoogekraal on Tuesday mornings, and a longer one going to other trails on Saturdays.

    Electric motors are duty free, regardless of their purpose.
  3. I have a regular helmet as well as a full face. Which one I wear depends on who I'm riding with and what I intend doing.. I also have body armour which I use under the same conditions. Sometime I wear both while alone at Bloemendal lower when I want to give it my all on the downs. The main thing is that you need to feel comfortable and safe, and don't worry about what anyone else thinks. If you really like your bib shorts, but want some knee protection, go for it. It might look a little different because it's not common, but it's your body parts that are affected if you fall.
  4. Here's the Strava link: https://www.strava.com/activities/6675291655
  5. This was I ride I did with The Outriders to Pepper Tree a couple of years ago. It was a clockwise route.
  6. Leatt helmets have the 360° Turbine system which effectively does the same thing as MIPS.
  7. There doesn't appear to be any rule regarding spare batteries. https://ctcttwebdownloads.blob.core.windows.net/singledownloads/CTCTEntryTerms.pdf
  8. Sizing can be a bit of an issue. The top I ordered was a bit small and with the inners, I ordered XL and they sent XXL which fit perfectly. The quality of the items I did order has been great. The orders were always delivered to me by Fastway couriers and I've never had to pay anything extra.
  9. Only for the Hammer, but not just for the day of the launch; it still applies. There are some other trails that it should probably apply to as well, but no others have been mentioned. When I crashed on the Bloemendaaler a few weeks ago and fractured my radius, I had to push my bike back to my car and had to be so careful with other riders coming own. That trail is quite narrow with not much place to move over for anyone, and you can't see them coming either. With the Hammer, you can see for miles and there is plenty of space to pass anyone that has stopped.
  10. Every year there is a SGM specifically to approve the fees for the following year. The attendance is always poor and the few that do attend have generally always been happy with what was proposed. There has been at least one year I can recall that the proposed fees were changed because someone actually put their hand up and made a suggestion.
  11. If you do find your old Racetec chip, then you can still use it. The new one is an addition, not a replacement as they will both be registered to your ID no. I don't know if the SAS board works like that though.
  12. The Willi Becher glass was designed by Willy Steinmeier in 1954. It is also known as a Willy glass. Becher means cup in German.
  13. I was wondering if that was you. I came past from the other direction when you were stopped just further along on this piece.
  14. Thanks for the support. I'm sure it will, just remember to shake the bottle well before use.
