Anyone else receive an sms around 2am saying its postponed due to city withdrawing its approval?

Please share details of the "race" on 28th?

best way to spend a weekend on your bike - wheels off the ground and coming in side ways

Anybody perhaps have experience with the Leatt DBX 2.0 and 4.0 winter jackets? With winter approaching I needed a new jacket and thought i will look around for some specials floating about.

Have not done one of those in years, takes me back to about 5 years ago when cycleops first came out with the virtual racing. We had a hub race every tuesday night. Thanks for setting up, nice to get some intensity in from the usual z2 work over the last week

Had the same thoughts about Quintana and Landa after first episode. Will be interesting to see how much they reveal of what lead to Quintana leaving

Thats why i want to preferably try on for size, i also seem to fall on the size limits for most brands according to there size charts

Does anybody know where in Gauteng I can possibly find the Ion K-pact knee pads to try on for size?

After a looooong time putting parts together i should be taking her out on her maiden voyage tomorrow. Just need to pick up a set of brake pads first thing in the morning. Only thing left really is chain guide and a dropper post.

Nope fully agree with you, no reason not to enter. You are still aware of the risk and are taking measures to avoid getting caught up in it. It just comes across like many are aware or complain of the risk but at the same time wont back out to avoid the risk.

Sorry, I dont normally get involved in many conversations here but if you are complaining about the risk of crashing in a mass participation race then you shouldnt be at the race. The possibility of a crash comes with the territory of 50 odd guys moving at high speeds trying to occupy the same space... just this festive season we were sitting around the table with family and discussing that we knew my day was coming as I was yet to come down in a 5 odd years of racing. The best we hope for is road rash and no expensive bike repairs. So when I came down on sunday I knew it was not only due but its part of the risk we take lining up at the start line of race. If you dont want to take the risk then dont enter a race. Part of the risk also involves guys who are not so great at riding in a group or just doing something stupid. Well, thats my view on the risks of racing at least

Yup i went down in that and taken away in the back of the bus... 68km/h according to my GPS. Have no idea what happened, guy in front of me went down and I had nowhere to go, back tire is worn through to the carcass the way I locked up the back wheel trying to stop but at that speed there was no ways. Bumped the head pretty bad, helmet is a write of but luckily Bontrager crash warranty will replace that and realized the importance of spending good money on a lid. X-Rays cleared any broken bones but pretty banged up and booked off work this week with light duty till early March... haha I leave for TOGH in just over a week so that not going to work.

Great thank you for the detailed response. Have done pre-entry and have PPA upcountry membership so will need to collect the race number and sticker. look forward to the race on Sunday

Hi all, I’m coming down from JhB and have entered to ride on Sunday. Having never done one of these, how does number collection work, can’t find anything regarding a registration prior to Sunday?

Can anyone confirm if #7 will be happening the following weekend (December 8th) Going to be in Cape Town for the weekend and would like to enter this if it is happening.
