Yeah doing the full. Will it be easy enough to go and recce alone or should I take someone along that knows the route?

Lekker. I've never ridden ContermansKloof. I guess a recce is in order.

Enduro is not dead. That is for sure. The 1st one at Hoogies was very well attended. Last comms I had is that Round 2 is on the 28th of April, but they need to tie up a few loose ends before announcing. I am not sure if the amount of crashes on Hoogekraal maybe is influencing the delay somehow? Definitely looking forward to #2 and Witfontein is already marked in the calendar.

I upgraded to a pair of Lyne HD rims with the HE hub. Love the wheels, after about 8 months of hard riding, everything from Helderberg to Hellsend Shuttle days. I do have a big ding on the rear though, probably smashed it somewhere in a rock garden. Still holds pressure so going to ride it until it fails, if it ever does.

Thanks. Finally got through on the support hotline. Couriered the watch on Friday. FYI: none of the emails I sent last week was replied to, except the product.support@garmin one. That was after I already couriered it. Now we wait...

Thanks for all the other email addresses. I forwarded the support email to another 4 email accounts. Let's see if they bite on one of them. Already looking at alternatives but will need a damage report to be able to claim from insurance.

Hi everyone Does anyone know what Garmin SA's response time is on support emails? I logged a ticket with them on the 2nd of February and had zero response. Tried calling the support hotline as well, just sit in a queue and no one answers. I have a 2.5 year old Garmin Instinct Solar that started having random crashes while recording activities. Makes the watch kind of worthless if you can't reliably record activities. Any other email/number I can perhaps try? Thanks.

That bike was stolen in the Strand area, in October 2023. They arrested the suspect and found the owner, he is going to give his statement at the police station today. Source: our Strand NHW group

all cappuccino's should be that size!

A bit of a cheaper option to throw in here. Garmin Instinct 2 Solar. It's very rugged and the tactical one I have looks pretty awesome imo. Battery life is amazing, charges while outdoors, wrist HR and Pulse OX. It also doesn't mind a beating. My previous Apple Watch didn't like MTB too much.

Just throwing this in here. I was at a shuttle day at Zevenwacht this morning. Pieter from VertoRack was there and was one of the shuttle vehicles. He had a 6 bike rack on the back if his car that also allows you to hook a trailer. Looks and works really well

We normally ride in a small group (2-5) people. That said, I do ride alone some mornings, but that would be in familiar spots like GSpot/Helderberg. I will also never do any new features when I am alone, stick to what I know is low risk.

Yip, and as far as I know the new permits for 2024 should be available in the next week or two. Home | Wine Lands Trails

Breakfast of champions. Ate some humble pie and a bit of rock this morning

That is a beautifull colour! Many happy miles.
