  1. Oh no Dale 🥵 Sending best wishes mate.
  2. Yeah chalk will be the winner. The other bike was a photographer.
  3. I was at the turn when the first guys passed me. The only instructions I gave was to turn around, I was misheard/ignored/not heard correctly 3 times. I had the same maps/gpx as supplied to everyone but everyone went the wrong way initially. A further 4 direction arrows had been altered after that one.
  4. It likely comes down to a financial issue.

    99er Cycle Tour

    https://99er.co.za/race-info/#route Scroll down for times.
  6. I'm not sure that's much safer after doing the 109km route of the One Tonner. Five in total crossing the roads.
  7. I use komoot all the time and can give you a heads-up to check the route once you import a gpx, it can occasionally throw an anomaly such as the attached screenshot. For some bizarre reason it wants to use the pavement.

  16. OFFICE OF THE STATION COMMANDER: TABLE VIEW 14 JANUARY 2021 SUSPECT ARRESTED AND STOLEN BICYCLES WORTH R850 000 RECOVERED TABLE VIEW: The swift reaction by an armed response company and Table View police, led to the arrest of a suspect and the recovery of high end bicycles valued at around R850 000. On Wednesday, 13 January 2021 shortly after 21:00 a security guard at a retail centre in Sunningdale was approached by three armed suspects who took his cellular telephone and hand radio. They proceeded to burgle a bicycle shop by gaining access through a window which was smashed with a concrete slab. The suspects fled with a number of bicycles in a getaway vehicle. The security guard managed to activate a panic button and within minutes the armed response officers arrived at the scene and the suspects fled. Table View police was also alerted and soon joined the armed response officers in the apprehension of the fleeing suspects. Eventually, the robbers were cornered and stopped their vehicle and fled further on foot in different directions. Police fired one shot and injured one of the suspects and arrested him. His accomplices managed to escape and are being sought. The injured suspect was taken to hospital for treatment, and will make his court appearance once he has been discharged. All the stolen bikes have been recovered. Table View Station Commander, Colonel Lindiwe Dyantyi expressed her gratitude and applauded the armed response officers for their swift reaction and for alerting police. She is urging anyone with information on the whereabouts of the other suspects to contact Table View police at 021 521 3300, or Crime Stop on 08600 10111. Ends.

  17. My folks have a small business that we have just opened in Durbanville. We are starting a series of "Meet the Artist" events...showcasing musicians, writers, poets... offering an intimate opportunity to enjoy a meal while getting to know our talented local artists. We are starting with Ann-Jangles (link below) Ann recently completed her African Dream Parade tour, so-called after her latest solo studio album. The journey saw her cycling alone for 7 months through the African wilderness and covered over 5000kms through Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, and Kenya, using the gift of music to uplift communities, promote animal welfare and raise awareness for endangered animals, specifically the African Wild Dog. Totally unprepared for the expedition, with everything she owned on the back of a bicycle she set off from the South African border and headed into the unknown If you would like to attend this event, (or even an artist you know, would like to set up an event like this) please contact us. https://facebook.com/events/s/harlem-on-heritage-presents-an/212610246935686/
