  2. Hello. What would you like to know?
  3. Visit the shop and chat to the guys. Bikes, frames and parts are for sale. Along with some powerful coffee.
  4. A bunch of us are riding from Rook Cycles on Bree Street to BIKE FIGHT in Plumstead at 5 this afternoon. Join us! It's about 15km to there, and obviously safer to ride in a group to there and back. Bring lights. Meet at Rook at 5 https://maps.app.goo.gl/N1YYP5hkNtAKBdSa7
  5. Matthew Ferguson and his team are opening a super cool new bike shop on Southfield Road in Plumstead. With incredible bicycle history on display, a serious collection of frames and rare bicycles, imported Japanese equipment, a music corner complete with a stage this is going be a great addition to Cape Town's pretty unimaginative bike shop scene. Barista Mostert Bungu will be serving delicious Illy Intenso ☕ (strong and good!) at the coffee bar daily from early, and future plans for the shop include a chain wax service, Goldsprints (stationary fixed gear racing) and all-round good vibes. 🍺 COME TO THE OPENING TOMORROW EVENING ANY TIME FROM 5! 🍺 Friday 31 May 2024 / 5pm onward / beer, wine, coffee, jazz, bikes! 2 Southfield Road, Plumstead, Cape Town https://maps.app.goo.gl/9j4npjNT73zvL3YY9?g_st=aw
  6. Registration is open! https://eroica.cc/en/south-africa Check out the brand new CLASSIC route challenge! The 'party' route just got a bit tougher, but a lot more rewarding. Start training short-route-riders!
  7. We're planning some new routes for 2024 - details to follow soon : )
  8. Event Name: Eroica CLASSIC, HERO & NOVA, South AfricaWhen: 12/04/2024Where: MontaguMontagu, Western CapeCategory: GravelEroica CLASSIC is a celebration of vintage cycling culture. Dust off your old steel road bike, unpack those wool cycling jerseys from yesteryear, and come and take on the beautiful dirt roads around Montagu. For 2024, we have a brand new route that takes riders up the infamous Ouberg Pass! Eroica CLASSIC is not a race, but rather a tough ride to pay homage to the greats from cycling's glorious past. The route includes fantastic food and drinks, and some wine just like in the good old days. Only vintage steel road bikes allowed. Eroica HERO is for those who want to push their steel vintage bikes and their legs to the limit. This 173km all-gravel route is not for the feint-hearted. Only the toughest of riders need apply. NOVA is Eroica's answer to modern gravel bike racing. This is a long fast paced route, but structured in such a way that you only race sections, and you have time the enjoy the views and great rest stops along the way. A social race, if you will. Only open to modern gravel bikes. Go to Event Page.
  9. Guys, please spread the word about young Mito who needs a lift. He has an entry and somewhere to stay, but he needs to get there! His number is 063 128 6807. "My name is Mitosesethu I’m based in Cape Town I am writing this letter to request for help with transportation to the Graaff-Reinet race. and I have been training hard for this race. However, I do not have the means to get to the race venue. I am asking for help in providing me with transportation to the race. I know this is a big ask, but I am willing to do anything to make it to the race. This race is very important to me, and I know that with help, I can make it there."
