Thanks World champs haha It will be my 25th so I think it's time to enjoy the atmosphere and day on my mtb 😉

Thanks May have been more involved but 4 of us got into the ambulance It happened at around 45-46km ph so no time to react Just disappointing when your race ends like this, no control over what happened. All the plans for Feb are cancelled now

So my 99er experience was shortlived Started in E having not doing many races other than CTCT and regular Killarney. High speed crash at 36km on the R304. Could see the accident about to happen as someone came across my front wheel. The rest I don't remember 4 of us in the ambulance taken to durbanville medi clinic. 2 fractured collarbone, and hip with bad road rash . I came of the lightest nothing broken but bad bruising. The response time of the ambulance was pretty quick 3 -4min Our bikes were tagged and taken back to the start where a friend collected WELL DONEcl to the organisers for the quick response to an accident. Time to recover now and heal, road rash not pleasant at all. My first big accident after many years of cycling. Cracked frame and damage but thankful it wasn't worse. Why we cycle

Absolutely agree that's why I've been having a tough time thinking about the possibility of not starting my 21st consecutive one. Been sick whole week since Mtb Challenge It's easier said than done when everyone tells you, don't ride, be grateful that you were healthy for the other cycle tours. It would be a bitter pill to swallow so hopefully I recover a little more just to participate and finish . Time is the last thing on my mind. Ok it's off my chest now

There is a second video that surfaced today from Fadiel addressing Jp Smith and COCT, threatening a definite shut down of the tour. Have posted info on the CTCT website

Anyone know if numbers can be collected the morning before the race. According to website and FB, ASG Paarl and CWC on Saturday Question was asked twice on FB page, no response other than what's on website

You pretty spot on Robbie. I did find there are some specials in between if you aware of the price over the last 2 months. What irritates me the most is when they increase the RRP and make it sound like you saving 60%. Just be honest, I'm cool with a 20%-30% saving on the normal price My example . I bought a maxis ikon for R399 at the knysna Cycle Tour. It was on special for R439 on black Friday

Really, entry level sram better than xtr Um ok ????

Any SLX brakes in stock on special?

Any SLX brakes on special?

Agree 100%, I did the event in 2016, all those passes were in, Bains Kloof, Du Toits both sides, Franshoek pass was amazing. Im happy pay the entry fee for a similar route not 4-5 sportive routes. Day 3 was the hilltop finish on du toits.

Wow this is mtb'ing at its finest. The trails are awesome and views spectacular. Route well marked and waterpoints fully stocked well marshaled. Heat was a killer today on the long route, 38 deg Pity I didn't put in enough training, there are no free km in the race. Tough but rewarding day on the mtb.

I last did the 50km mtb in 2012, 99% jeep track last 1km or two some ST. This year some more ST mostly the first half. I rode with a buddy and enjoyed the route overall. Waterpoints not as well stocked as the road event. Light drizzle 2-3 times during the race. Sunday I took the mtb out to buffels baai turnoff, back via rheenendal rd, down phantom pass. It's more of a family wknd for me. Worst part was taking 9 hrs home after 2 trucks collided on the N2 in Grabouw, eventually turning around coming home via kleinmond & Clarence drive.

Well done ???????? ???? Home stretch now
