    While I appreciate the update, I don't really see any news, good or otherwise. In summary there was a meeting and Tokai remains closed

    imagine that on a 29'er

    This be my tracking story, its a bit irritating that there seems to be the need for two customs inspections. Frame posted two days after ordering from Flyxii, then took six days to arrive in SA, four days to get to CT, now just waiting for customs to get their grubby little paws off my frame. I want to built it on the weekend so hopefully it arrives tomorrow.

    I think that the second place run was even better, smoother, more controlled and that triple whip was ridiculous

    I pushed the button on a FR216 from Flyxii a day or two ago. I must say after some initial concern about communication and service I have been very pleasantly surprised, all my questions were answered, invoice supplied and paid via paypal. Then tracking number immediately supplied. Delivery should be within 3 weeks apparently. All looking good so far and I cant wait to get going on the build.

    It would have been my 15th dash around the peninsula. But for R470 on roads that I ride every week and the irritation of a lottery system I think I have ridden my last Argus, one more entry to someone else. After experiencing the Two Oceans Ultra last year I am not unhappy with ditching the Argus.

    I have it on good authority from a "friend" who has been up there that there is an amazing amount of new growth, lots of it being grasses and bulb / tuber type plants and smaller fynbos type things sprouting. The big plants like the proteas and trees are for the most part dead, but some are regrowing from their bases. There is almost total ground cover in place, There is also no evidence of any significant rockfalls or erosion. Tokai is an exception due to logging but there is IMO no ecological reason why someone cant ride on a jeeptrack around silvermine, or run / walk on an established rocky path

    I dont see any reason why Silvermine cant be opened now, any rockfalls or landslides that could have happened would have by now.

    All the best to him, met him about 10 years ago at Hell and Back and had a bite to eat together, super cool guy

    I don't get your reference to a bad attitude and how do you draw the conclusion that he wants the riders to go his bidding. Anyone who isn't unhappy about the way the closure of the mountain has been handled is too far up SANParks' behind to see the light.

    Do you think they are going to be asking for a rates account at the door? just pitch up they cant kick you out

    And they missed out on a rear facing camera, silly nerds

    The irony is that the Two Oceans is now longer than the Argus, the runners are going to have bragging rights for sure this year.

    I think they should have just canned it, there is going to be chaos out there with guys sprinting the "full" distance, others reseeding themselves to ride with mates, others doing a slow ride for solidarity, two and three lappers etc...everyone that I speak to seems to have a different idea for Sunday. To cram 35 000 riders onto 47 km of road is a bad idea. I think the freeway is going to be a war zone with crashes. I wont be riding, rather go for a long run. I just wish that some of my entry fee could be transferred to the volunteer wildfire services
