Double down on your updates!! how on earth can something like this irritate someone; just stop clicking on the thread if its such a pain. Hope that little one fattens up like a champ!
Think you chaps obviously ignored the rest of sentence; the issue is not making space for a guy. The issue is dont shout at other riders to get out of their way, when 1: its single track on which they are moving at a pretty good clip 2: racing in another way shorted distance and feeling frisky is all good; but dont shout at me from 20 m away to pull up and deadstop, if you want to mix 30 km racing snakes with marathon distance riders, then accept the above. 3: the specific situation we were 7 riders moving at the same pace, were everyone suppose to stop and pull over every 15 m for these guys to come past. Nope
Get what you mean on the hill, but thats part and parcel of mtb; same as the climb last year at Epic behind Vondeling- not a single person (pros included) could ride it. As for the second part- yip, had some 30k "racing snake" youngster also shouting left right and center for everyone to move over for them on the sandy single track next to that lovely green river.... you want to pass.... get past on your own.
suggest you order and pay for a truckload of them this evening before Jake-the-trousersnke Zuma closes the meeting with the top 6- rand is about to take a bloody nosedive again.

Anyone at the finish line going to tell Nino's his shades look like ****..... didnt think so.
I'm in agriculture, and there are fires starting in the most random places, most of them in locations where trucks cant easily access. Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington, Overberg- literally a weekly thing.
western cape have been under fire since November last year; very likely a large chunk of the fires have been started deliberately over the course of the last few months. They seem to appear in sets of 3 or 4 on the exact same day spread all over....
total *** that they couldnt plan the wind better; or call in the army to suppress those pesky poor people; or sorting out all those fires smoking up the place......
same arguments were made when they canceled the swim leg at half ironman; a few people would have made it if they allowed it; even some of the pros came out shaken up. Problem is you have 40 000 odd ppl, if a single % of them get into serious crashes then its carnage to try and remedy. One 100km gust of wind coming a around a corner at 60km a hour when you have 20 sets of wheels around you... instant bone yard.
Will just sit here with my popcorn, waiting for the inevitable comment: "the wind was predicted days ago, why did they not just move the race to another date".....
