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 .

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 ?
If you're ever in Copenhagen I will buy you (or any other hubber who visits) one of these from a place called Hungry Dane. It will change your life forever - whether you're a vegan or not....
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.
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 !
No nav maps available for the route as it traverses private land
Thank you.
Does anybody know if we can download the routes on our Garmin's for navigation and profiles ?
One says
2020 Road Champs????
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 .
Some crib notes if you did not watch the special:
Thanks for that .
I know what I'm gonna watch tonight !
I'm waiting for the e-bike version
Yo , looks like a real XC machine !!
I feel more sorry for any cyclist who buys a brand new bike and the next day sees a press release where his new bike / model has been replaced with the newest greatest geometry and suspension design .....
Ja eish - that's a special kind of eina that !!
Finally 2 bottle cages also !
Trek's gonna sell a lot of these bikes . Might finally see a worthy contender to Spaz Epic's crown as the go to bike for marathons ??
If you worked hard for your money and can afford a 100k mtb and it gives you joy and makes you ride more , then why not ?
It’s interesting to me how the negative feelings are always one way - guys hating on the oke with the nice bike. I have yet to hear anyone with a nice bike making a negative comment towards a guy riding an entry level bike ( even if he gets beaten by that guy ) .
Suppose jealousy does make you nasty ?!
This is a bold line to draw in the sand from a studied dietary health expert.
Very interesting.
I’m sorry , I am not following you ? Are you being sarcastic with me , or am I missing something?
You're right, but that only speaks ill of the family for neglecting to put the kid on a healthy vegan diet. If you want to go through a vegan pregnancy and have a vegan kid, do your homework, make sure the lifestyle is sorted and there shouldn't be issues.
Aaaa , now I get your angle .... You wanna find a cure for the population problem of the world !????
Seriously though , Odi , you give too much credit to the human race if you think the majority of the population might be educated enough to know what nutrients their children needs .
A vegan diet for children is not a good thing when you take the general population into account .

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 .
