I had a blast, best single track I have ridden for years. Not one technical issue with the bike or legs. Beers were cold at the end of each day. Big thumbs up to all the local community that contributed to such good memories and laughs. Probably the best organized South African mass gathering event I have ever been to. My jackets and things were all wrong sizes and didn't even get the Aca Joe stuff yet. Others I know have a lot more things to worry about than such trivial stuff. I'm sure they will sort mine out when they get over the wind up as they said they would. Well done to all

And there is always an issue when luxury coach has a problem..... Talk a bout Turning a blind eye. One less toyota on the road.... Hope the passengers were okay

I got bitten by a rock on the top of climb when my pedals wouldn't release my shoes.... Also wasn't so fun. It is a bit of a tough ride for game viewing

Thaba trail in Alberton also has some wildlife

+1 You can also sneak onto the 4x4 course for some fun

The boot strap on rack is a good option. I have different cars so can work. On hatch backs, sean and vans. Very good option for the future changes in cars and if want to use a mates car or use rental. I have the Thule one and not had a problem with the different cars and different speeds.

Which one fits you better? Which one are you most comfortable with? I do see the 500 specs are coming down from previous years

Very sad, rest in peace I think I passed this scene on the way back and didn't think perhaps fellow riders were involved. Condolences to the families and loved ones

Delta park and the spruit aren't race routes, just be courteous to other users..... Not hard

Use the acetone but have clean water handy. Use cotton wool and the acetone and wipe over the new crap paint. Rinse with clean water and cotton wool. Repeat until satisfied. The new paint is probably cheap crap and will come off fairly easily. I have done this process on a vehicle will good results so should be good for hard type bike paint (underneath) and annodised materials.

Cool thanks

How do you secure the boxes for transit ? Zip ties or a lock ?

Truth hurts

Would be a cool commuter. Seen the various motor options years ago, including electric, but lately not interested with dealing with customs and other hassles of importing thus if someone locally is making a living out of doing the conversions I may look into it.

Is the friday ride a club only ride? Sounds like it could be good..... Are you riding up to ontdekkers first?

<p> Unless your lady is informed like mine

Linden cycles hires bikes out. Dont know which bikes though. Most of the bike parks have their own hire fleet too If you want to hit some dirt Linden Cycles 63 3rd Avenue Linden Gauteng South Africa Telephone 011 782 7313Email lindencycles@gmail.com Depending how long you want it for may be cheaper to buy a entry level road bike and then trade it back in

Learnt this over the weekend at the 24hr, now on the shopping list. Amazing how some folk can carry on

As above, I pack my own beers, part of the Riding pack !

Any more info? Where 's the bike shop and do you know how much They charge for the conversion ?

Hopefully my drive will look like this in a few years.... Working on it .....

Was a good evening out. Agree that the BMX track really takes it out of you. Only grievance is how the start was sorted. They called for the A start group for the 8.5 and I went down. When the race started a group of women in front of me and a hole pile of others just stood and chatted. They wanted to start with the B's and blocked our start. Had a chilled race and some laughs - is just for fun anyway

Good one !
