Yes. But do your homework with respect to weight of package and associated costs .

That’s what BikeHub Pay is for. Will also flush out any scammers

Would that not limit the road performance though, I sometimes feel a bit under geared when rolling with guys on road bikes .

Interesting chat, my “gravel bike” - a HT I converted to one has no issue with no tyre clearance and I’m comfortably running a set of 45’s. but I’m maxed out at 40 up front - I wonder if a spacer of sorts could sort this out?

I had a terrible experience with an MRI, no shame in it, needed a back scan so went far in, bailed and needed meds with the re-do!

Good to hear that you’re making progress. any leads on that vehicle by the way?

That’s just ridiculous

MTB, has to be photochromic in my books as mentioned, the change in light just makes them a safer bet.

My experience with CL has by and large been great. They have messed up before but have always remedied the situation which is ultimately what counts at the end of the day. Had some great service from their N1 City branch in particular, but most of my purchases have been online.

Doubtful that it’s legit. Ridiculous “was and now” pricing, also no presence of a SA account on FB or instagram.

no route profile on event website - anyone have one?

lekker - which one did you do? Do both the 40km and 59km have great trails?

I believe it's a great event with some nice trails?

Mmm, must give it some thought, reckon I’ll squeeze into cat 3

Sounds hectic, excuse my ignorance but how do the categories work?

Also keen to know

6:27 , Pagacar says it was an easy race!

what was the early bird bird entry last year - can't recall at present - Think it was R650?

we saw a guy down, literally 200m from the start - don't know if it was a wheel touch or something else - 1E

Some sobering insights here indeed. a bit analysis and thought required on my side, but always willing to learn

Thanks, interesting!

well done, what group were you in and what's your FTP btw?

Mr B, perhaps we should have a coffee catch up, as we know each other! I don't think that sub3 will ever materialize, but constany improvement is always a focus for me.

ja ney - I am not in that "category" - but feel perhaps I should be a bit doing better at least! I rode in 1E and did 3h29 - which was about 15 minutes slower than I was hoping for

yes, that fine balance - but reckon for me its also not burning too many matches before Oceanview, I was confident of a PB - but the conditions prevented that as well as perhaps being a bit too overzealous at the start - (as I felt in good shape) - ai - have some work to do I guess!
