Fook. Where was it, Plumsted? I'm suprised Constantia hasn't been hot spot as it's full of oldies, euro - swallows and people who defiantly DGAF about others! Just for this example I live in Graylands...

Checkers has been hilarious. They haven't stopped selling anything really. Went to Blue Route last week and got some electronic kit, hot wheels and toys for the kids, dogs toys, a potjie, pool salt and you could buy basically anything apart from clothes. Even in Constantia the PnP has loads of areas roped off while at the checkers is all up for grabs.

Good to know. Thanks!

Boom. Done. Awesome. Thanks.

Was thinking exactly the same myself. The pooches need a walk before they mutiny but that can be done far from the madding crowd. Is the forest where the ribbon memorial is down the the river / greenbelt also SanParks aka closed?

Love it. I pulled all my old boards out a couple of days ago. Man I'd forgotten what I'd kept in the big sell of before we moved from Sydney. In the usual shortboards there are a couple of sick modern single fins (6' and 6'4") as well as a wood keel'd twinny which is thicker and wider than most longboards. Not to turning this into the surfing thread but I was looking at something like this Calyton board before the lockdown as I want a decent cruise board that will work in most small stuff through to about shoulder high. Mainly as I want to get my kids into surfing now they are old enough (your hood and the usuals), want to still surf but I'm fatter and more unfit then I used to be but I honestly don't like long boards. What do you think and who would you recommend to do a good job on something like this? It's basically a Takayama Scorpion. I think Hurricane do something similar. I was thinking in the 6'6" range.

Makes a lot of sense but I have a feeling that the car park is going to be packed tomorrow with alot of peeps frothing for the mountain. Jeez, the beach must be torture. Just saw they opened up Bondi in Aus' with taped off lane for people to run down, surf and come back up. dropping in isn't social distancing so that would make a nice change there!

100%. Tokai is easy to manage as it's a case of asking and if it's no, then it's no. Places like Rhodes, Table Mountain and Lions head are a different matter. I've not seen anything that says what the 'cycling' part allows but people are already lining up their missions to Pats, Slab, waffle, slippery etc which is fair as it's in their 5km radius and it's cycling unless told other wise. The Glen is a mess after the fire so I think that isn't a conversation starter. I don't know what is and isn't hence the question in the first place but believe me I'm am guessing the Nek to Kirstenbosch and beyond is going to be packed from tomorrow morning beyond belief. I'd also put money on it that a big percentage will be straying outside their 5km during those walks, runs and rides let alone adhering to social distancing. Is that a San Parks route as well? So theoretically should be closed as well?

So I'm guessing that the exercise allowances includes dawgs. Jeez my pooches won't know what to do I'm guessing Friday morning is going to be mayhem anywhere where there is a stretch of ground. 5km is great, that covers all my pack's fav' places bar the beach. Mountain, greenbelts, forest. Dave (our new one) isn't going going to understand there is a world outside our block!

Okay, so riding is back on and Tokai is in my 5km radius... does anyone know they will be opening up the mountain at all in level 4?

Ah nuts... I really like the philosophy and the ideas behind it and I'm guessing it'll ride as good as all PYGA's do but man, I really don't like the looks. I want to like it but I just can't. I know I might be about the only one and it could even be construed as treason but just think the rocker, the weave, the shape and the layup all look weird. I'll get my coat.

Kingdom bikes have a special on the Vendetta X2 LE for €949 down from €1299. And it's hot.

Trailtech have a special on OneUp droppers from R2000 for a 150mm and through to the big boy 210mm for R2999

Lyne have 20% off all wheels using 'WHEELDEAL' at checkout.

Shame man, that's tough. So sorry for you and the gremlin. Tough thing to work through especially with the circumstances. We've lost 2 dogs this year and was a harsh thing for the kids to navigate. My daughter still worries she's going to lose us or one of the other dogs in specific manners so it stays long with their lil' elephant brains.

Shame they didn't see fit to start making anything wider than 2.3 in 29'rs. 27.5 have up to 2.8... and no one rides mini wheels any more.

You'd be coping some grief for that. - GVA - Nass' - Nico - TommyDG

Humm... someone won. Didn't see it as the fee died. No 'analogue' riders in the top 10 tho. Will be interesting to see how just the pros go this afternoon rather than people who aren't super into the game side of things and are mainly road riders.

I'm wanting to like it but it does feel a bit like phoning Dominos and asking them to read the menu to you when you're hungry. Nice initiative tho.

and the GCN link to the Flanders Classic Ronde versions.

So there are 2 Ronde events going on today? Organisers Ronde: later today. and the Ronde van Zwift which seems to be MvdP and his Fenix team vs an allstar pro team and a load of Zwift cycling teams on now. This is on the Richmond Worlds course.

No excuses when pro's are posting on their socials about how bored they are and trying to train alone sucks. How do we tune in and watch? Could be good fun. Shame its only 32km. Wonder how a field of 13 will effect the racing, if one person is going to go balls out from the first and hope everyone gets bored of indoor riding then coast home. If everyone will do the equivalent of 29kms of warm up then fight club. I hope everyone will dress up in proper 80's spin bike kit and pump out euro-dance in their pain cave.

Jeez man, that is a rough one. I have a feeling my old girl is finally on the her last walk. Hadn't even occurred to me that we couldn't be with her if it comes to it. Sorry for your loss.

Unfortunately I think there are going to be a lot of people shifting a lot of items here and in the wider world post lock down. Pretty sure people will be selling a lot of non necessities (and necessities) to make ends meet when this ends and impact to businesses is known. The car reclamation auctions will be buzzing like it's the GFC again!

Just got a new puppy the day before everything was shut down. Had to fly him down from PTA on the last flight into CT. All my other dog are rescues but in this case it was family farmers that had a Ridgeback / Labrador litter and were giving the away to the relatives. Who could resist! Black on back ad a classic Ridge down the back. 4 months today and massive paws. Unfortunately while I was waking up this morning my kids renamed him.... Dave. Bad, bad name but they're not budging.
