Any tour de france fantasy league planned?

A guy on the 75km route gave me a sealant tube when my rear tubeless valve decide to start leaking and then break. I tried to find him at the end to pay him for the tube. If anyone knows a guy that gave a tube away and was probably around 20th overall please let me know or tell him to contact me so I can repay his kindness.

Can your friend define "the bridge at the end of Paarden Eiland" ? Is this the bridge next to the N1? Or the bridge over river in Paarden Eiland?

I don't think you can compare a rural area next to a BIG semi informal settlement to the situation on the short dodgy area on my city route. All incidents on this route were, as far as I have seen, on solo riders. All I am saying is by staying away from the route during times when there are other riders there, you are letting the criminals own the area and making the risk higher for other riders.

Rather than let the criminals drive us off the path why don't we stand together and remove the opportunity by riding together on the path. I often wait on either side of the dodgy area until another cyclist comes along. If everyone waited or tagged onto someone on the approach then there would be no opportunities to attack us. The bigger the group the better. Obviously this wont work at strange hours.

And the winner is??

Spain.

Hi. Does anyone have some details on the MTB trail at suikerbosrand? By this I do not mean riding the tar road with a MTB, I mean the jeep track/single track loop I have heard of. So: Does it exist? How long is it? Is it part of a hiking trail or exclusive for MTB? Is it tame or technical? Thanks in advance.
