taito

I also lost a Conti Protection tyre,,it's over rated for all round riding at low pressures its Maxis Crossmark UST .Bulletproof

Great riding

Mr Walland reported it was tougher but much more rideable than last year,according to Mike next year they will start outside PE and some new routes

Dink nie iemand gaan laas jaar se tye Klop nie,laas jaar het die weste wind gehowl. Ligte oos die jaar

Yip you need a serious rider Last year we did a 10'26 with the big tailwind

What time you aiming for

I think a bit of undertraining for the Trans is no problem,start slow ,eat all the time and just sit the bunches. Once you enter the real baviaans at Yellow woods take it easy its where the climbing starts. Dont drink too much Energy drink it f,s up your tummy, and then your energy level goes one way. Swop between water and whatever energy drink and coke mixed with water. Most important dont stuff around in the check points --then you will have a good ride.

Pre rode day 2 and its a blast.Nice mix of twin track,farm roads,game farms and a bit of district road. Some nice climbing but there should be no pushing. I put a summary on the FB page

Im riding my wobbly until its smooth,Did some riding in Hogsback with that tyre over very rocky terrain and no probs. Also did the Knysna 80k So for now it stays on.

yip I have a Protection Conti I also swopped it and the it developed a serious wobble, But its a pricy tyre so I have kept it on and I must have done at least a 1000k with the wobble. Sort of getting sick of okes behind me telling me my rims bent. Offroad its fine but on smooth tar I can feel the wobble.

there we 2 guys on mounties that stayed on the front of AA --moer impressed

Most of the route is no probs,they have made most of Petrus se brand a highway.Its the down part to Harkerville where the roots will be snot,be carefull. Also the return part where you join the 50k it might be turned up a bit ,just look for good lines. And leave the x1 at home

Seems the weather will be ok Saturday looked like rain but latest Accuweather predicts just cloudy

any news on arrest of suspects

I have the same issue--wonder if the old XT was not better never had issue with it.

This also happened to me after a 150k day training day for the TB on the roadbike. I even visited a knee specialist. Bottom line is dont overtrain,spin light gears as far as possible. It seems its a small Bursar where the tendon meets the bone that was overworked. I now keep my training rides under 100k and train more often,this injury took me 3 months to overcome. Both my ITB`s have been relaxed so its not ITB related. Stay off the bigblade stuff.

a lot of riders go out on Tue and Thurs from Spar Kragga Kamma to Van Staadens old Red bridge or nearly. This is usually from next month as training for TB The slower riders leave 5.45

Nice song on the radio--have a nice day Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know, you tell me don't lie You work on a smile and you go for a ride need I say more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A heavy lube will cost you energy is the long run.Stick with thinner or wax type. I spray my MTB chain with DWF basically E20 and no problems

Crazy,,,ban these okes this incident will go viral and all roadies will de targeted. Cape town two weeks before Argus is a testostarone filled roady crazy merlee ,its like a keg of powder waiting to go off . this time of year too many bikes too many cars. Head to the mountains

2 years ago I decide to do the Kenton ON Sea race near Port Alfred.So I load bike ride the 150k there early in the morning from PE. After finding the start I begin to wonder wheres all the riders??? Go onto internet on the phone to find out its the next weekend.DAHHHHH

some years ago,I ride the morning bunch in PE around marine drive so I have to leave home at 05h00 and in winter its still dark. So at night I get everything ready so not to disturb vroulief, early I get dressed in the dark. Halfway aroung Marine drive I look down to see my pants inside out with the red butt pad shining away. I did a very sudden slowdown and solo home. regards inside out.

Heads up guys Two cyclist were mugged near Walmer township Saturday morning early. Both bikes were taken and both cyclist was stabbed and ended up in Hospital. This was 2 seperate muggings. Be careful If you are coming to PE avoid that area of Walmer.

What a day,nice cool weather,great new start area that opens the field a bit. Quite a bit of powdery dust in the first 5 k`s but plain sailing after that.The rivers were also much less of a factor than expected I also battled with riders not even attempting to ride river crossing. As always the last 20ks is a bitch by that time im running on empty.Once again Stans did its job,running along the game fence 10k in some guy passes me and I feel drops on the face so not too worried.So yesterday washing the steed I find this really sticky mud all over the bottom tube yip hard Stans ,,had a puncture but no worries plugged in the ride. Thanks uncle Stan

After 3 years relax just ride
