People actually believe you on here and that you have no friends... if only they knew...

There's a shop in Hermanus called Get Cycling that also stocks Norco. Seems like they have a few in stock gauging from their website, but mostly in L. https://getcycling.co.za/

There's also the notice board on the Double Century website of teams that might still be looking for riders - https://doublecentury.co.za/before-the-race/noticeboard/

https://doublecentury.co.za/race-information-centre/race-day-event/team-seeding-and-start-order/ They've been released, it seems.

We have 5 of the Wille Honde wall mount brackets, and love them. The keep the bikes relatively out of the way when living in an apartment or when you have limited space in the garage (both of which we have). Would definitely recommend, easy to install and to use.

I'm also not a fan of the ebikes. There were the only blemish on what otherwise was a beautiful day out on the bike. Coming up Smitswinkel, there was a very unmannered guy on an ebike (I was about to say gentleman, but his behaviour was anything other than gentlemanly.) He was shouting at anyone getting in his way as he was trying to pass the non-motorised cyclists on the uphill. I'm not sure how they should be managed. Maybe once the CTCT has a separate 47km race, they can also look at separating out the ebikers to leave us to suffer on our own legpower on the hills without having middle aged man with a lekker vet boep and an attitude flying past.

https://isikosports.co.za/ They took over AMS from TrailTech while it was in limbo. TrailTech only has their custom branded kits, Isiko Sports seems to have pretty much the full range.

Is there the option to change date to something normal, and not Americanised? I looked but I don't have a 25th month in my calendar...

This is very quickly getting old, just getting the same sales pitch as response to different people talking about bike insurance. We get it. No need to flog a dead horse. 7 posts in a 25 post thread basically saying the same thing... no need to give the same sales pitch again and again and again (and again). It is actually this type of behaviour which will ensure that I will not be heading over to your site.

Windguru doesn't really have any forecast spots close to Stellenbosch/Paarl/Wellington areas. And if you look at windy.com you'll see that the whole area for the SCT is coloured blue/green, so not too bad. Sure... along the coast it's different...

I went OTB at top of Armageddon, tried plowing the ground with my face but luckily wearing a full face. thumb decided to stay behind though, so looks like I tore a ligament off the base of it. Seeing a hand specialist tomorrow to get final diagnosis and looking at a potential reattachment surgery.

There have been a few book adaptations that weren't all that terrible.Normally I don't follow one so quickly with the other, but friends had highly recommended the movie, so I wondered how bad it could be, especially with the author being involved in the screenplay. Apparently I underestimated what even a director such as Spielberg can **** up. Good that you watched the movie first... but seriously, read the book. I absolutely loved the '80s references and nostalgia that the book brought out so much better than the movie ever could.

I would recommend reading the book... so much better than the movie. I smashed the book over a weekend, watched the movie on the Tuesday, was bitterly disappointed...

I'll be at the back too...

My road bike is going in for repairs tomorrow Guess that means I'll turn up on the mountain bike and have a nice chilled slow ride...
