Link to the web page? Google gives me crap

Their lack of communication is putting me off putting down R4k before the end of the month. At this stage I am looking at doing a 3 day "tour" of my own and use the R4k towards accommodation with the added benefit that I will be able (will want to) stop for pics and a coffee / coke along the way.

That is good news. Seems like 90% of the European cyclist prefer it

Today I learned about the word "bog"

Turtles drink water through their noses.

I see CyclingTips tweeted to apologies in advance as to what their autocorrect is going to do with their new name.........

But.....but......why? The amount of damage to equipment going to the mud...... Unless you are a pro training for Europe. Otherwise......... Stay at home. Enjoy the rain.

Rules are a bit unclear on this issue. So we'll see on Saturday. But my preference would be not to do the dirt stuff.

Last year it was only a 500. No entry, ride for fun type thing. I did 168km before I had to get home to do family stuff. This year I have sportpas so the 250 is on the cards. Depending on how hard the sun will chow us and how the body feels........ Not very keen on the whole "2 x 10km nutral laps" thing.........big part of that 10km lap is gravel. I love my road bike too much

I'll be lining up for the 250. Last year was a jol.

Jip. One of the best tips I ever got. Inside the bag is your day's socks, sweets/bars/goodies/drugs, the days supplements in a smaller ziplock. So you know if the back is "empty", you are all packed and ready to go.

STUNNING. I did not know there were white ones in SA.........

The sexiest HiMod that ever lived. 6.22kg

One of the prettiest Synapse' that I have laid eyes on......

Don't be shy now boet........post that beast of yours.........make em jealous!

2013 Synaps Page 71 https://issuu.com/cannondale_europe/docs/012_can_catalog_screen_en Here is a full spec sheet: https://cycling-passion.com/cannondale-synapse-alloy-2013/

I've done it a couple of times now. Most fun you will ever have on a bike!

What a beauty!!!!

So not UCI rules then? Wonder if we can pitch up with a 5kg bike and knee socks?

I bought a cheapy like that from Takealot. Would I do it again? No. Not worth it. After about a month, went with this one: Very impressed. https://www.pulsepro.co.za/

Good tip, thank you.

I've got a barely used XT RD 12sp for you. I've gone over to XTR just because of gat jeuk. R2500 new I'll let mine go for R1500. Not yet posted on the sales side......will likely do so this evening

I actually can. My training partner rides DI2 Ultegra Disc. Brakes have now failed twice in the 3 months I have trained with him daily. It just fades one ride and then nothing. No leaks no weird stuff that we can see. Also the amount of brake rub on the Shimano is insane. I thought SRAM monoblock was bad but the Ultegra jobbies take the cake. Hopefully Shimano can get something right on the upcoming launch of the new Di2 12speed? calipers. Various patents have been filed a while back. That said, I have not had ONE day of issues with any of my MTB discs. None. Even after battling the last week with a set of XTRs I got them tuned to perfection with not much effort. So road still has to catch up in my opinion

You are talking Shimano...........whole different kettle of fish. Buy some sram and we can compare notes again. There is a reason why SRAM updated their road calipers very quietly without telling anyone......
