I also loved road cycling, we had plenty events in Bloemfontein, at least one every month. Now there's none, even the MTB events are scarce... there used to be loads of guy's on the road, training.Only a few die hard guy have resorted to indoor training, strava etc... Bloem has become a cycling gost town...

Just chillen...

Wihan, speak to Christo from enduroplanet @Enduroplanet he will be able to help, very passionate cyclist as well...

Go Ash, would be awesome if she could take a stage win or three..... 👏✊🏅🚲🙋‍♀️

It's only safer because it suites their claim/disclaimer policy...

AKA affirmative shopping, we are their suppliers and market... I had my Specialized Epic MTB (bought from Conrad Stoltz with which he won Xterra World championship with) and Specialized roadie collected by them for free, still not over the episode...

Hi, Robert. Yes you assume correct, or parts for something used i need. Eg. Derick has got some MTB shoes to swop for the shifters, so the shifters are on hold for derick.👍 I am very flexible with the whole proposal thing.🙃

Great young talent, keep an eye out for Waylin Young, great things coming from this spirited lad on the track....

Was looking for your name there Waylin and not surprised to see it there, you have what it takes to become a world champion!

Hi, SwissVan/gummybear I will get the detailed itinerary and post it. Thanks for the offer will let you know.

Hi, can one of the forum managers please assist me in uploading the Cycling SA recommendation letter in pdf format. Please pm me, thanks. If there anyone who can provide guidance with regard to getting sponsors, please we need all the help we can get.

I am unable to attach the pdf document with the banking details (using a tablet), anyone that can help or contibute please pm me, I will email you the letter.

Hi, We need sponsors for one of our best young riders to get exposure on the international circuit. Waylin has been spotted by Cycling SA and put on a long list for the upcoming 2016 Olympic games. Carina, (his mother) have already paid a non refundable deposit of R 5 000 and raised R15 000 but still need raise about R20 000 before 31 May for Waylin to be able to go on an upcoming Europe cycling tour. Attached is a recommendation letter from Cycling SA with the banking details. Good Morning As explained on the email at the bottom, and on the attached mail, my 15 year old son, a Fichardtpark High School Scolar, has been invited by SA Cycling to go on a tour to Europe. He is a very dedicated and desciplined rider. He only started cycling in September 2011. In 2012 he already achieved Free State Half Honorary Colours in Cycling. During 2013 he has won several local races. Furthermore in 2013 he also won the Polkadot Jersey (as best hill climber in South Africa) at the National Trac Tour in Nelspruit and he was also 3rd on the General Classification in his age group at the National Trac tour. During the SA's in Oudtshoorn he won a Silver Medal in Time Trial. I would humbly request if you could be a sponsor for him. The tour has been extended with one week, and will be from 19 June 2013 to 6 August 2013, and will be costing R35 000. A If the application receives your favourable considiration, you will have the opportunity for advertisement (in any form) on 1 June 2013 at a cycling event in Bloemfontein. Please feel free to contact me with any enquiries. Thank you, Carina Young 0828053720 Dear Waylin, Due to your continued good performance over the last few months, Cycling SA have you on our long list for selection into SA teams in the next few months.We would like to encourage you, if at all possible to go to Europe and race against some of the best young riders in the world during this season.As money is not readily available you will be mainly dependant on sponsors and to this effect we want to give you a letter of recommendation so you can approach sponsors to help you pay your way.Attached you will find a letter with a reference number. You should use this and if successful the sponsors should pay their contribution into Cycling SA's bank account using your reference number.These funds will then be made available to you when you apply for an international racing license.I know this is not money in the bank, but at least it should help you in the process. Kind Regards George Stroebel (President Free State Cycling) Email: president@fscycling.co.za Cell: 082 440 2346

That was great fun guy's! Must do it again... Little bit of rain at the start, buy hey, all part of the fun... Thanks to Mongoose and Garfield for putting together such a nice, well organized ride, really felt safe with the back-up/support vehicle with the hazards on warning people of cyclists ahead, could see especially the trucks had a lot of tolerance for the group of cyclists. Thanks, Madeleen, and also our tech/moral support guy (Morne) keeping madeleen company. Had lots of nice snacks, sandwitches, boiled eggs, chips, cooldrink, and sweets at Dealesville... wouldn't say we were out on a training ride..

Great initiative, i'll be there, will arrange with Mongoose, ja-wel he's lightning fast and uncatchably strong , especially on the hill's... as for me i will draft behind the support vechile.

PowerTap, Good support for the product and questions very well answered. Should work with my Garmin Edge 800. Will do for my needs. Put my name on the list as well for a "PowerCal".

Excellent Burry... that's an awesome race!

Oh, so the other lady was Robyn... strongs ladies!
