  2. Ja nee, shared a few beers with Barry and a few Benoni / Bokburg hubbers back in the day at Grapes (?). Can anyone remember what his dogs were called, if I recall correctly one of his lady friends also a hubber looked after them
  3. Hey Popit sorry to hear this happened to you and I hope you recover quickly. Take care down there in gangsters paradise ๐Ÿ˜ก

  5. Just started watching AP and enjoying it. Also Lioness and Landman
  6. Iโ€™m going to follow the tighter belt principle: Which is to be able to tighten my belt comfortably by at least 1 hole this year. Note to be confused with the financial version of tightening things. Wearing the same belt for at least 5 days a week is a constant reminderโ€ฆ. Buying a longer belt is not an option either.
  7. Whats happened to the Cannondale pics, have you changed to a Canyon brand ambassador for 2025?
  8. Just make sure the size is correct, otherwise go for it, itโ€™s a bargain @ R5โ€™999.00 and you are supporting the local industry. Dont stress about the hangar, just get one to keep in the unlikely case you need to replace it on short notice and donโ€™t want to wait for a dealer to order one from Zini.
  9. Agreed 100% Having done both (outdoors and on the IDT) I would say doing the Rapha outdoors has more โ€œgeesโ€ and feeling of achievement than doing it on the IDT. Just stopping for a wee is a challenge when you have been riding outdoors in 0 degrees, layers of clothing and coldโ€ฆ.. use your imagination ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”Ž Not to take anything away from indoor Raphas, spending that amount of time riding indoors has its own mind bending challenges, but it is open to โ€œcheatingโ€, being it unintentional or knowingly.
  10. Maybe they are doing something wrong......? Personally I don't get it, doing all the km's in one go. As far as I know the challenge originated all around cycling 500km (in winter weather) between Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. Sure, things evolve, for example the southern hemisphere does not have winter weather during this time and the challenge is open to virtual rides and E-bikes. There will always be some who will push the envelope...... As NSBB said "Clearly this challenge is too 'light' for the over achievers. Best someone start a 1000k challenge for next year".... Then they can do it in < 2 days....
  11. Itโ€™s from the Northerner hemisphere ๐Ÿค˜
  12. Wanna swop weather?
  13. For those with Rouvy and not able to ride outdoors, Rouvy has a Rapha 500 challenge starting tomorrow. Have fun ๐Ÿ˜
  14. sTrue With age comes wisdom๐Ÿค”
  15. Semigrate to GP not an option then ๐Ÿ˜‰
