Had to postpone because of weather and my boy wasn’t feeling it. What’s with the birds though and attacking read that earlier-what side bird are we talking here. Don’t want to collide with a Bird at full send...

Man that made my day.

News made! No apologies for the capitals!!! https://teamqhubeka.com/dlamini-makes-history-as-team-qhubeka-assos-name-tour-de-france-line-up

Will head out. Thanks!!

Is the river a necessity? Or can one avoid.

How was it? Thinking of heading out there this weekend.

With results like these am surprised they haven't terminated. He's done

Hubbers, , whose been here and what do you think? Opinions? https://www.trailforks.com/region/taroko-trail-park/?activitytype=1&z=13.1&lat=-26.07586&lon=28.15455

OP sorry your family had a bad day. A bit touched your little one had to see morons in full swing, but hopefully he took the lessons not to behave in such a barbaric manner. Happy miles and smiles.

Like I said, at least he's racing well. Look at Valentino Rossi, permanently at the back. Not shoddy to finish tenth...

Thaba Trails...

This is a actually a very good point

Ok can someone give us newbies context here... http://www.treadmtb.co.za/james-reid-its-time-to-move-away-from-professional-cycling/ In terms of rivals that you have competed against, who do have the most respect for? Nobody within cycling actually. I have role models outside of sport, because I’ve learnt the hard way that humans are inherently flawed and disappoint more often than not. David George, Rourke Croeser, George Hincapie (side note: the PR behind it from Cape Epic is outrageously hypocritical), are all figures in my life I’ve once held up but been bitterly disappointed by, so I guess another reason for moving away from sport is the doping clouds of uncertainty. I have a moral code of zero-tolerance that I’ve always stuck to throughout my career, but I’m not sure everyone else I’ve raced against could say the same. You’ll often be judged through a certain lens by members of the public who attach a certain stigma to cyclists that I no longer want to be a part of. ????‍♂️

This is so cold I have an Eskimo heading to the local cop shop to open a case against you ????

Eish. But true

Valentino Rossi has been doing it all season. He’s either on the floor or almost last, and keeps saying how it’s coming and he has a good feeling. But-Nino finished tenth from where he was, so maybe it was a blip and he’ll make the turn.

So a mate took his Merida Big 12 To Cajees for a service. They told him they need to service the rear shock, and the service. Came to 1800. They totally omit to tell him the chain, cassette and hub need servicing, he takes the bike and chain keeps popping out. We head to Melo Velo and they need to change the whole drive trail for 10k all inclusive of chain and all parts. Am thinking: what is an LBS supposed to tell you when you collect the bike? Melo Velo explain what they have done, what needs to be done. Isn’t that the standard?
