They've given hope of hosting it later in the year but I wonder if that is realistic. When the event was cancelled because of wind, people asked about the feasibility of an alternative date going forward and all sorts of reasons were given for why it would not be possible. Why would it be different now.?

Inevitable under the circumstances...

I trust that isn't Stellenbosch. You're far enough from your bike for that pic that it would be at risk of being stolen. LOL

Roadies may not greet or wave (LOL) [i do ], but we always offer assistance to anyone in need.!

Many will be sad, but safe to say, few will be surprised.

Some nice options available... I've also been contemplating...

Most if not all road events can be done on a MTB ... hey, even a BMX or unicycle if you wish. That said, I don't foresee many events taking place any time soon.

I've heard of steam treatment for Covid ... not so sure about coffee. LOL

Got the Evobikes weekly product promotion email and thought somebody must have made a mistake with the price. LOL

It is a special road, with and/or without a helmet.

Not only that, you wouldn't be able to do the Eastern Blvd or M3 stretch, and any alternative route adds significant time imo.

Ja, maybe, no as others have said. But I doubt it.! From what I'm hearing, the Wellington, Paarl, Ceres areas has been heavily impacted by Covid.

One almost welcomes a comment about helmets after seeing so many about masks. LOL Perhaps both were taken off for the pic.?

Seems the moment you step out your door, you're entering a hotspot.

This stabbing of a 12yr old is just despicable.!!! May he recover from injuries and this experience quickly. Recent incidents have changed cycling for many of us. For years I've enjoyed jumping on my bike and riding from home, but now, I'm also having to drive to meet ride buddies in order to make it a little safer, while riding alone is a distant memory.

Normally when one is feeling fit and strong for CTCT, the south easter blows giving you little chance of improving on anything you've done before. LOL

LOL...weather's been really good the last week or two, but yeah, south easter was out in full force over the weekend.

What I see is two cyclists turning without signaling or looking back to ensure that it's safe to do so. Suspect they realize this when they hear your vehicle accelerating, and as is natural for some, go on the offensive as it is "obviously your mistake". A courtesy wave and apology may have been more appropriate.

Now that would be some achievement... especially for those of us who battle to get through 30mins on the IDT. LOL The thought crossed my mind, but then both mind and butt objected.

Are you referring to the 404 disc set advertised during the day yesterday @ R10k.? I noticed the ad but it was gone before I could have a look at the detail. Suspected that it may have been removed.

Seems Table Mountain is away for the morning.

Happy to still be climbing. Remembering those who were less fortunate and their families, particularly today. Still a long way from cresting 2020, but we'll keep slogging away.

Exactly what I said. Why the pics if just innocently passing with a little toot to signal your presence. Suspect lots of facts have been conveniently omitted from the FB post. Again, it doesn't condone the subsequent actions of the cyclist, but it fails to give a full picture.

I think this year and the target is largely influenced by potential lockdowns across the world. 500km on the IDT is a completely different challenge I recon. Also consider 500km outdoors in a Northern Hemisphere winter ...
