    I reckon some surprises… some guys are flying, I see podiums and near misses for the abode characters …(Roglic?)

    Yeah… the days of Eddie are upon us again with this generation. I think it’s amazing watching an athlete been versatile over the course of a season, especially the last big one the Tour of Lombardy! To me that is an rough and epic event to close up on, even better when a Tour rider can sneak a win. I think The hell of North this year will have at least 15 favourites.

    Brutal conditions… talk about peloton exhaustion, amazing n how many good sprinters could not main those high speeds. Fred’s bridge over to the leading trio has be rider of the day. That was real matches burnt and you could see he had nothing in the tank for the sprint. I expect to see more of him this year. 👍🏻
  4. I hope you had a Coke “Zero” with that burger…. at least! 😂😂😂
  5. Keep us updated on those goodies, you know the nice canvas Castelli bag with power bars and a powerbank and Elite water bottle! And a free get out jail card from your insurance for one month! 🫣😜
  6. The cost of getting a true hand built wheel is worth it. I once had a tubby set that was built in Belguim in my racing days and it never once ran out of true. They were solid, of course in those days we had zero potholes and the wheels were built for cobble abuse! Yeah I think a good wheel is even more important than ever with our road conditions. Shops don’t always double check apple tension… in SA, if the wheel is balanced and true we think it’s okay! 😂😂😂
  7. I’m glad you never got hurt! This is out of control now…
  8. No wonder Mavic left out the back door! I miss those yellow bikes…😜
  9. Gives Gorilla tape a whole new market locally…🫣
  10. I’d be interested to see what’s the price point at your LBS?
  11. You can’t say the “R” word. It’s going to be removed from the Alphabet! Only once they can catch Putin! 😂
  12. The reviews Ive seen on the smaller Insta has the battery as the main downfall. Shooting 4K and you only got 30 minutes before it’s flat or over heats…
  13. It was bound to happen… now we can let the kool kids play again!
  14. Yeah… Hospital Bend is always inviting riders for a stop over! Somethings don’t change… 🫣 Hope all is well with those road warriors who got down to sea level by default. I see some insurance claims flying in the course of next week.
  15. Yeah seen this, great footage! Epic adventure.
  16. Boet you go get it! Hats off to you for tackling that distance. You know back in the day. The real TDF had proper stages like that. Hence the name.. Tour. A few guys started taking stuff and it became a race at all costs. All this so a company could sell more newspapers! We live in a crazy world.
  17. I’ve sent you a message.👍🏻
  18. ..20 okes, so then this is just a group ride for those wanting to do the high mileage club thingy. Maybe it’s not a True event but an out ride gathering of two wheel adventurers. Someone needs to do a report on this and let us know how it goes? Bicycling Mag take notes.👍🏻
  19. .. Strava, the chaps who will take your wallet for a ride and not even ask you. I wonder when a new Silicone Valley start up from Africa will gobble them up and rename it Straate. 🙃
  20. I remember when only the pro riders rode with backup, then no one would say jack… if they did… you’d get a bottle full of “Game” Boet! Naartjie! 😂😂👀
  21. Wow. Amazing that after so many years, The Mullet is making a huge comeback! That’s called the ASX “air brake” used for technical descents, right? 👀
  22. They just don’t have it in Parktool blue hooney! 😂😂😂
