  1. Roads pretty good. Watch out for animals. If do R62 via port st John's, watch out for speed humps and pot holes. Night driving can also be challenging due to lack of road markings and frequent thick mist. It helps to drive with GPS on to see curves at night. Preferably have bikes inside vehicle. Else make sure they are well secured and locked to vehicle. Umtata is famous for people trying to open car doors and canopies and steal in stop go traffic. The small towns during holidays are packed with people shopping. Expect to go through at 10kph max. Except at night - then faster but different risks as described. That being said, if you break down you would be surprised at how many are willing to stop and help.
  2. Thanks for the input. I think they contacted nick.
  3. Hi all, I have some heavier mates (120 to 140kg) that have started mountain biking. They continuously break spokes. Mostly gravel road riding (quite bumpy) and some single track. Any suggestions on a reasonably priced wheel/spoke configuration that would work for heavier riders? Eg is there something like a heavy duty spoke or rim? David
  4. We've been zwifting regularly since the start of covid and adding weekday training to the weekend warrior routine has been really beneficial. My son is now at the point where some proper coaching is needed. Does anyone have experience using online coaches and zwift/ training peaks programs together with some mentoring. I'm assuming there are coaches out there. Ideally it would be nice to do this with training road rides on weekends.
  5. Does anyone have a recommendation for online/courier fresh roast beans supplier in Gauteng?
  6. Never ridden there. Did you ride road or trail?
