I don't get the animosity... If I (Pietie Nobody) offers 30% of asking - sure, that may be considered low-ball. But if a recognised Intermediary* does so, that is the price to pay for * --> it is your choice on whether that is a fair price for *, for you. * - An intermediary provides liquidity - you get your money early/immediately, without the risk of the item continuing to taking up space in your Pain Cave. - An intermediary takes away the risk associated with a difficult buyer or underlying issue, which you were unaware of.

Unless on a very quiet (time of) day, skip Kromme Rhee, go straight and ride through Elsenberg.

Jip... "Coming of age" race. Edit: Also keep in mind the 21st event was 20 years after the first...

Start in &. Allow yourself (that's what you'll tell yourself!) to be dropped on Edinburgh and hook onto the leading Tandem that caught you by then. Free ride from there --> they actively discourage you to "contribute"!

no hindsight necessary - this is Grade 1 logic... A race to win, B race to catch A - far different distance / time frame / mind set... I think an official was one of the parties mentioned? Maybe you want to read something, and now try to defend that? (Classical strawman...)

There is a pre-episode in which they said the finalists are selected to fit in with what the teams are looking for, for that particular year, so all should have a fair change, at least in that regard...

(Not saying that is you...) That is classic for everybody claiming board failure, yet it was human failure, not threading the cable tie through the board too...

Fool's errand --> you rather have to do something as suggested by @bleedToWin. (IMHO C's marshal did a brilliant job, within the current setup: not once did they attempt to "force" riders to the left of the line...)

Hayley smashed it...

Intentional? or Glass-house!

That's also a recipe for people even less inclined to enter (early), next time around...

When do we get formal confirmation that Worcester is to be moved @MyriadEventsSA? (Not to when, just that it is not to be on 28 January anymore.)

Guilty... Am I to get circa R40 interest, as well as bank charges, back too?

And here I was hoping for all of them to soon appear under GCN-without-the-+'s Youtube channel...

Especially with a (calmer) South-side of Bainskloof right there... 😎

Nobody with clout, that can engage the two parties, to have one of them moved? It is not as if the Calendar (for road events) is full... (Even 27 Jan, for one of them) will work for me.

Seems like a good deal? You get a brand new crank for the price of a second-hand one... 😎

Also interested to know, in trying to re-configure my training blocks optimally... 😎

Compared to R222 for 219km recently, it does seem steep...

How about coordinating Event Dates @Pedal Power Association? At least locally... This is the same date as the Boland 100miler, an event that "claimed" this date probably a year ago already.

Hhhmmm... Seems slow is relative!

Not wanting to play into @WaldoZ's popcorn-eating fetish, but how does a this year 3:20 CTCT lands one in the same group with a last year 5:30?! You have a rep around here though @Jewbacca, so I'll be glued to your back-wheel until B catches us 😎.

Not to alarm anybody, but... Road from Val de Vie, all the way to the right-turn to Dutoitskloof, is a big construction site (so much for the live in the rural quiet Winelands...) - what will this mean for Tour du Cap and Boland 100 miler? Road was very busy this past Sunday, at the time these events typically roll through there...

🙄 Bellville Velodrome track is 250m? (Why the self deprecation vibe from others? There is nothing wrong with Bellville Velodrome, is there?)

Virtually immediately... But then, as @Frosty said, you might get (auto) audited, so it may be "retracted" shortly thereafter.
