  1. Thanks ๐Ÿ™ got it ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ
  2. Does anyone know where we can get the GPX for the 160km?
  3. Hi all, Iโ€™m taking on The Munga later this year โ€“ 1,125km across the Karoo โ€“ to raise funds for a young boy in need of a prosthetic leg. Iโ€™m looking for a videographer whoโ€™d be willing to help document the journey, from training to race day, to help share the story and raise awareness. This would be a charity project, so Iโ€™m hoping to find someone who can assist at no cost, ideally someone passionate about storytelling, cycling, or making a difference. If youโ€™re keen or know someone who might be, please reach out. Letโ€™s chat! Key locations: Training: Gordonโ€™s Bay and around Western Cape (Daily) Meeting the boy: Pietermaritzburg, 3 June Race: Bloemfontein to Wellington, through the Karoo (The Munga 26 November- 1st December) Thanks, Gert @docinthepeloton email: gertjie7771@gmail.com
  4. Anyone in Cape Town or Gordons Bay Area that services Kickr Core ?
  5. Dont know about the Reserve but me and my wife did a bike trip 2 years ago and we cycled along the beach from St Helena to Paternoster, was really beautiful. Enjoy
  6. So I have been living in Gordons bay for a year now and really like to ride gravel but dont have an idea where to do a nice gravel ride, so I thought it would be nice to have a thread where you post your strava route and a short description of the route and maybe something special about it, like a nice coffee place close by or roosterkoek next to road or whatever. I will post an example and then we can maybe have a collection of nice routes that we can go and explore. โ€”->Stanford Gravel 65km Route Really good gravel, you start in Stanford from Ou Meul Bakery, you can park there. Short tar section then turn right onto gravel. Has a nice climb. When you get back ou Meul has lekke Coffee and can get a brekkie there. Here is a link to my activity https://strava.app.link/xZ0RjcR81Rb
  7. Hi does anyone have any update on this road that goes up from Gordons bay to the Steenbras Water Treatment Plant, it has been closed now for almost two years. https://www.news24.com/news24/community-newspaper/districtmail-helderberggazette/steenbras-access-road-remains-closed-20230509
  8. I cycle there almost every day. The stops are very short you will wait maybe a minute or two. There is currently 3 stops from GB to Rooi Els. Very nice route ๐Ÿ‘Œ
  9. Glad he is all right. Thanks for the response!
  10. The terrain was quite rough especially the first and the last 10km. (Did the 80km) Went past a guy that had a bad fall he was unconscious but there was all ready an official with him, does anyone know if he is all right? He was later picked up by an ambulance when I passed there again?
  11. Thanks so much. Have you bought one from them ?
  12. Want to do my own lactate threshold tests. In the medical field so I might use it at work as well
  13. Thanks so much will contact him.
  14. Does anyone know where to buy a handheld lactate test machine, like a glucose meter but measuring lactate? I saw you can get them from Alibaba but I don't know about quality and also scared you might not be able to get the same strips once you buy the machine.
  15. Thanks Chris. Me and a Friend wants to cycle the blue line and was wondering what the fastest known time was, because if we do it we can just as well try to do it the fastest. Going all around SA would be epic !! Maybe our next adventure
  16. I will let you know once I do. Just give me the time?
