    Will do, I'm not doing this weekend, but am heading to Oasis for 3 nights the following weekend to get some gravel and climbing in the legs ahead of the main race in October. Plan is to do out-and-backs from Oasis, using it as a base. So will do the Groot Rivier Hoogte pass, before turning around and heading to Wupperthal, and then back to Oasis Next day is to the bottom of Algeria and back. Last day is one way to Op die Berg, where I'll jump in the car.

    Agreed, but at least the video gives a nice view of some of the climbs, which are hard to put into perspective otherwise.

    Hatherly looks like he's doing 40-20s. Drops off, works back, drops off, etc. Hanging well

    Just to pick up on this, it's been covered before, but the Spez Align helmet is really well priced when you consider the safety rating, highly recommended.

    I had the same. sent them pics from all angles of the bike, full inventory of all parts, and whatever receipts I had. They accepted that. failing that, my LbS offers an “evaluation certificate “ for R150, which I was going to do if needed

    Naked insurance?

    No complaints, feels nice, feels solid.

    Also started using it this week. Much easier on the old laptop than myWhoosh (and no 17gb downloads....) Very impressed thus far

    Do you need us to enumerate the differences between a local trail race and a bike race that many people travel 3 hours to?

    Link please, want to print a few as a joke

    Decided to try one of the Ryet Temu saddles. 3d printed top with carbon fibre base and rails. So far so good. IMG_5450.mov

    You’re on a gravel or mtb, right?

    Perhaps more than this: my wife and my kids can now make me coffee. I'd love to have a bean to cup and a pure espresso machine, but if I can only have one, at this stage of my life a machine the whole family can use just makes more sense.
