In conditions such is this the risk of permanent kidney damage is always in the back of my head.

De Villiers is getting better and better with old age.Consider that that at her age she beat Oliver Munnik and Ben Melt Swanepoel.In a class of her own.Fifteenth overall.Amazing

What happened to Chris Van Zyl? He was a few km from the finish and then his dot stopped a few days ago.

I was surprised to see how easily Sahm managed to stay with the top riders with that huge backpack on his shoulders on he fast downhills .

Being strong and winning one of the top races in the world and you want to watch the back markers. Really ? What is it about doppies that you find fascinating?

Why ? Beers and Sarrou

Cannon Northwave rode very well and looks poised to upset the gc. I wonder whether Sarou will recover after the hard chase today.He looked quite tired at the finish .

Conterman's Kloof road has become a hotspot for bike hijackings . Be safe out there

Check mate !

Gravel 0 : Dual sus 2 . I fixed it for you. (I have both and I do appreciate the shortcomings of a gravel bike when you ride over bumpy descents with corrugations and potholes)

Where was this photo taken ?

Ask your GP to refer you to a cardiologist.

It doesn't get better than this. With a bit of planning anyone can do this. As events are being canceeled due to the pandemic

This is the stuff I want to read on this forum.Great articles and many thanks for taking the time to put pen to paper.

Solid advice. Imagine the disappointment after having spent a fortune to get your bike lighter and , you still get dropped by your mates (on heavier bikes) on the climbs. I used to be a weight weenie but realised very soon that it can become an obsession and very very costly exercise with no tangible gains in performance . Make peace with yourself. Some riders are just better climbers than others. We are not all equal when it comes to climbing.

Sounds pretty serious .

What a ride in perfect weather

Looks like a great ride. Amazing how gravel bikes have taken off .When they appeared on the scene they were slated as just another sales gimmick destined to follow the same route as fatbikes..

My favourite ride.Such a nice vibe on and off the bike. Glad the route is shorter this year. The 150 km was a killer but also a challenge

A Agree. I have done this on a few occasions . It may not work all the time but at least it gives you a chance.Quite interesting how dodgy pedestrians suddenly make way when they are in the direct path of a sprinting cyclist.

Go for it and post pictures of your trip !
