  1. That does not sound Ok, but whats worse is when slow riders ride 2 or even three abreast on the cycle paths around blouberg. Happens very often. They act so surprised and shocked when i shout at them to give way. Sometimes they keep riding 2/3 abreast and don't bother to move. i've seen a crash or two from people not moving and guys riding around the incompetent fools.
  2. Actually i think those bars aren't clip on. Which only makes matter worse
  3. He obviously wasn't going very fast... Should have cut the guy in half ! I hope the little guy was killed instantly. Damn clip on TT bars... No quick break access
  4. How will the new route affect average speeds ?
  5. Ek verstaan ​​nie Afrikaans nie. I used google translate for that ^^
  6. I'm also interested. Going to get back into track after exams. @MTB_Roadie we could get a team going. Just need someone else.
  7. Matric finals are next week I'll beg the parents some more, really want to do this race ... If it starts at 6;30am - If i take 2h30min to race + 1 hour(including collecting medal ect) cycle home.. I can be home at 10am to study. Seems fine.
  8. My legs hurt... Little skinny young guys can't ride properly in wind.... Happy with my performance, quite disappointed with my result. Had to stop to get water with 30km to go, and rode the last 30km by myself. Could have gotten a sub 5hour if i rationalized my water better and stayed with the group...
  9. That's true I'm not doing the DC though. I'll probably start with them. I will take a look at the size/strength of the D group.
  10. Do you think the D bunch will be big ? last year they merged the C-E groups. I'm seeded D. Can't decide if i should start in my seeded bunch or fall back to a DC team that are riding together (outriders)
  11. Carry some liquid in a energade bottle then throw it at a water table. That's what i'm going to do. People do stop on botmanskop usually.
  12. This is true, but the winner will be from a large group so in wind it won't affect their time that much. If i start in D or drop down to join a DC team, it will never be the size of the A-B group.
  13. I don't mind wind that much, as long as it slows down the winning time. I'm not sure about the route, what affect will a SE have on us ? Will we have a head wind on the way back i'm guessing ? Looking forward to Sunday
  14. Do we use our PPA numbers or is it seeded ? PPA's website description is confusing.
  15. Thanks The guy thats selling it too me bought it from the factory on holiday, he used it once or twice. I borrowed it for 3 days when i was in JHB during the school holidays. So excited.
  16. I have a question about these frames. I'm getting a whole Pinerallo 65.1 think 2 - with 11 speed super record EPS power shifting and Bora wheels for a very very very low price (Dads business partner selling it to me/present). its a size small. I'm 172cm tall. Will the size small fit me ? i think its a 48.
  17. Agreed. Great guy and great service
  18. A guy did a similar thing to me. Shot past me like i wasn't even moving. Then he started panting like crazy and stopped pedaling. It's annoying when people think to much of themselves. You see it often on the cycle lane.
  19. Hey I'm looking for a lift from Cape Town to the Karoo 2 Coast Mountain bike race in Uniondale. I'm 18 and can't drive yet. My dad's to unfit to do it this year and doesn't want to go with to watch from the side lines. I'm more than happy to pay petrol and other fee's required. Happy to sleep in the tents available. I can book transport form my bicycle if need be. If you can be of any assistance please Email : Joshgrnt1@gmail.com or Phone 083702383 - My dads number. Regards Josh
  20. The guy airlifted is a kid from my schools dad.
  21. Why kind of Blue Top ? I was riding that day in blue at that area. Defiantly never said those words. Small chance its me though, magic shine + Two laser tail-lights... Doubt it was dropped Theirs way to many commuters riding fancy bikes, without any lights. Gets pretty dangerous with all the mist.
  22. I have the same problem with regards to my Garmin not being able to upload automatically. i have to copy the last ride i did in activities and then paste it. Is it fixable ? My dads Garmin also does the same thing, we got ours together. Should i take it there ?
  23. All my bikes are locked up in my bedroom, guarded by a very aggressive kitten. With a German Shepard outside my door... I think he sleeps there just for the cat.
