First time at Witfontein this year - looking forward to it!

Well better than pitching up with an existing injury....like last time. I hope they find MB a decent partner...

Indeed, but you know...Cape Epic...

Its not the Western Cape so you'll be fine. But, what about a gravel bike?

An eBike is like a wheelchair. Once in you're never getting out 😉

The leader is decided by who has the biggest motor and battery combo obviously. Duh!

Yes it seems ludicrous that someone as obviously incapable of learning from her mistakes is allowed an early release. Her sentence is still harsher than anything I've seen imposed locally for such crimes but thats small consolation for the family... Last weekend I did a long road loop with my wife. I didn't notice any people playing with their phones but did encounter at least four motorists who drove with no situational awareness of our presence on a busy traffic filled road. We were clearly visible - yellow helmet, yellow and white tops and bright flashing head a tail lights. The drivers in question had passed and seen us but still drove as if we didn't exist at all - I'm talking turning across my path into a side road without indicating (slow speed so easy to avoid and give his car a slap) and grinding us into the gutter by driving closer and closer to the left hand side walk forcing a stop. They knew I was there but just didn't give a fk. At least two of the drivers were in luxury SUVs and beyond middle age. Add distraction in the form of a phone or intoxication to this mix and it gets even worse.

Haven't hear but they are being discounted at the moment here in SA..

My first new pair of MTb shoes in a good few years...

I regularly see i.e a few times a week - people being pulled over by traffic enforcement in the area of the N1/M5 I frequent on my commute. Its usually unmarked Ghost Squad cops doing their thing but there are numerous marked traffic cop cars in the area as well.

The carnage on our roads is diabolical. A homicidal drunk driver should receive appropriate sentences - long jail time. I hope the Jhb cyclists/PPA keep an eye on this case just like the Sheriff killing in CT and make sure the prosecution is dealt with properly.

Apart from probably not crashing - how would the Pog have handled the situation I wonder...?

WTF - that truck driver should be prosecuted. Reckless and negligent.

LOL - the Danish Anchovy needs to chill...

Ryder unit is too teeny tiny for anything but a teeny short plug strip. Tossed mine.

Basic common sense really. I've always driven like this everywhere. Motorists who claim they are being held up by cyclists because of a sold white line are simply being obtuse.

Keller should be a good partner. She has trained in SA for a few years i believe and knows the conditions. She is also a bit of a beast on the bike.

Hope Keegan does take it more seriously after nearly ruining the friendship last year...

So CL and AK teaming up for Thomus Maxxon. Thoughts?

You get it!

You need to try harder to make sense...

Based on a still photograph and no context?. What do you think of the motorist's behaviour?

If your 15 year old has aspirations to race DH and enduro then such a bike might be the right choice. Any enduro bike can pedal uphill given the correct gearing and cockpit set up. I do it every ride. (15.5 kg Specialized Enduro with 170mm rear travel)

Yes, and the balance of the pine trees and gums in Cecilia.

Here in the WC the problem we have is the loss of Fynbos due to excessive fire cycles and the creation of grassland at its expense. I think you can see this happening in parts of Silvermine and possibly Tokai, although there, the aliens prevent even grassland forming...
