Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but if there is no expo, how would we collect our race packs and merch etc?

Solo Entry with Bus & Bicycle Transfer (R500) Solo Entry without Transfers (R400)

Two pairs of those in national red and some crème.

After struggling around suikerbosrand I decided I needed some upgrades. A new GS derailleur, chain and an 11-34 cassette. And then for the downhill sections, I upgraded from 140mm stock rotors to 160mm Dura Ace rotors. And then some black into red Supacaz bar tape, just because.

A wedding anniversary gift from my wife......... DedaElemente SuperZero Carbon bars and some funky bar tape that even Sagan says will make me fast.

Even the Vaal river looked inviting in today’s heat.

Hehe, Cheers!

To the Barrage bridge.

Hehe, I’m not dissing the trail, or trail riders for that matter. I just realized that that wasn’t for me anymore.

I sure am, mate. Thanks for the "behind the scenes" advice and opinion.

Hi there. I’m Nicholas. My cycling “career” started as a kid doing BMX racing, riding for the Germiston club. It was semi successful having won a few provincial and a couple of SA’s. Thereafter punk and metal and being a pain in the @ss teenager took over and I dropped it all. Skip forward many, many, many years and many extra pounds on the waist I decided to get back on two wheels. Last year around November I bought a Giant Anthem because I was determined to start thrashing the trails, but found myself more often than not on the tarmac. So that led me to buying a road bike. A gorgeous Cube C62 Agree Race a few weeks ago. I have no desire to get back into competitive racing. I only really want to do the basic, "fun" rides, 94.7, Argus and the like. That’s about it. Glad to be here and learning loads. Cheers!
