Many thanks for this interesting post. Having cycled Petrus se brand on many occasions I could not figure out how Alan got lost since the trail is well marked and you cannot get lost if you stay on the road . You assumption that he never started on Petrus se brand in the first instance is very sound if regard is had to the location of the blue star on your map. When you leave Diepwalle Forest Station, cycling on the Uniondale road towards Petrus se brand ,there is a jeep track on the left (approximately 1km from the turn off to Petrus se Brand) which I have on numerous occasions mistaken as Petrus se brand. This road is very overgrown with vegetation One can easily make the mistake to assume that this jeep track is Petrus se brand. As you have pointed out , this is in all probability the road that Allan took thinking he was on Petrus se brand . Having listened to the interview with Allan on youtube it is apparent that he kept a cool head during this dreadful ordeal . Just proves how quickly things can go pear shape . Be safe out there.

Really? Bicycles blocking taxi routes? What are you smoking Bra?

Here we go again . Flogging a dead horse .

Great pictures.

You hit the nail on the head IMHO.

"My top speeds are higher on my Normal bike, but my ave speed is higher on the ebike. " I fully agree.This also my experience after having bought an ebike.

Here we go ...

Too complicated.

Great . Thanks

Avancini is a big disappointment for me . In the last few races he would dominate in the first few laps and then fade thereafter, completely off the pace of the leaders . Is it a case of riding too hard at the beginning of each race?

You mean 100% of us on the hub ?

My impression as well

It will be difficult. But, never write Nino off .

In which event was the winner assisted by an ebike?

Lack of data is the root of the problem .

Best post on this topic.

Just take it to Stokes suspension. You can thank me later.

Who cares?

Glad you survived this ordeal.That stretch of road has become very very dangerous.

I am considering to buy an e bike. After 30 years of cycling my legs are no longer what they used to be. Getting older is unforgiving .Especially in cycling . An ebike allows you to climb that 1 or 2 kays faster than what you can do on your bike.. Not to prove a point or to chase other younger riders but , simply but to flow with other riders and not to have to pull off continuously on the single tracks to allow faster riders to come through.. The cool factor is not something I consider at all.

And a good medical aid.
