Exciting racing from the ladies today . Hats off to W2W for having a woman’s race and a men’s race on different weekends. It gives the ladies a fair share of the coverage and gives us 2 weekends of lekke racing to follow .

This is gonna be an interesting race to watch . It's nice to see so many contenders in the ladies field . Fantastic that W2W gives the ladies their own race to enjoy . Good luck to all .

What a breakaway by Imbuko(Type) Dev !! Lets hope the legs hold . Would be awesome for the Saffas to take a stage win .

I think you are correct . Also , it was SA Cup this weekend , so all of the XCO racers were in Parys doing XCO .

Okay , am I the only one missing something here ? Where's the shock ?

People also forget the bike you ride is very dependent on where you live. Your Stumpy might be a very lekke bike to ride if you stay in Stellies or maybe Karkloof , but you are gonna hate it if you live in for example the North West Province. As much as I would love to ride trails every day , reality is that that’s the exception and not the norm for most South Africans. Most of us have to do with 100’s of kay’s of gravel grinding for every once in a while of going on holiday or long weekend of trail riding . So , would you rather be slightly under biked for the maybe 10% of the riding you do , or over biked for the real 90% you do ?

Flip that looks delicious enough to take your chances with Covid on an international flight for .

Original song is not really what I would call a classic , but the video is excellent . It must have taken a heck of a long time to sync. https://youtu.be/Oa0tNR2LL64

If I read the media statement from Specialized correctly , the withdrawal was not so much about them being worried about catching the virus at the event as it was them worrying about getting back to their families in their own countries ?! My worry would also be that there might be travel bans in place in a week's time ( who knows ?) and I might be stuck not being able to get back to my family for a month ??

I think I found my next bike !

Thank you.

Does anybody know if we can download the routes on our Garmin's for navigation and profiles ?

And you don't think mountainbikers do road cycling ? These are 2 of the most important races on the cycling calendar in SA . It's a pity they are on the same weekend - that was my point .

Ai , why do they have it on the same weekend as Tankwa ??

Anybody that lives close to that area that can give us some weather info please ? I am doing the decent , so we will be starting on Friday .
