    Hi, can vary but R800-R1k should be ballpark, paid R950 for Pta to Swellendam recently.

    Ritte is just so smooth and easy on the eye. Keep us posted.

    Right decision imho, was out for a run now. Found a gap between the rain bouts and dit is koud... Feel for the organisers and riders alike, however I don't expect a refund. Circumstances and situation outside the control of anyone, safety officers, provinicial admin, medical personnel, organisers. But my opinion.

    It's sunny right now, go for a ride sooner rather than later...

    You could always also shorten to the Napkysmond loop if you want to skip some of the weather: https://www.strava.com/segments/10488786

    Because everyone always trusts weathermen... reminds me of the quip: “Economists exist to make the weathermen look good”. Read in comic sans. Spare a thought for the organisers who also want this to go on, as has been pointed out, not their call.

    (Thanks for this!)

    Ja lekker man, dit maak mens sommer warm aan die binnekant.

    They might, but not sure if the stock tyres are tubeless ready🤔

    Would also look at just upgrading as need... But to the OP, if you won't be worse off (unless your on the sharp pointy end) with alu, consider second hand. However if you take the carbon Titan, ensure you leave some room for upgrades, handlebars (buy second hand), tubeless conversion (don't know if the bike comes with tubeless tyres, if not, will set you back R1,800 cheapest for the set) and a good seat (if you don't have one already).

    Seems like it...

    Have a Momsen GP300, full mechanical brakes (would have wanted at least the mechanical to hydro brakes) with SRAM 1x11. Paid R14/5k for it second hand, it is not lightest nor the fastest, but it has tubeless ready rims and it rides lekker. I don't know your size but le bikehub has many options to consider, including: scott-speedster-10-m-11spd-hydrdisc ridefarr-gravel-touring-bike-for-sale https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/gravel-bikes/649929/titan-carbon-comp etc. Edit: Local brands are great.

    Some peeps are lucky others sometimes struggle. We had the same issues. (GCN needs to add a stream quality option as well)

    Also didn't like the approach from Tete and Mothibi, they basically tried to shut him out of the race. I didn't see his attack earlier but apparently he attacked out of the Nedbank team/group and Tete wasn't very happy with that? Edit: Was rooting hard for Piet to catch Tete at the end, Tete's neck must be very stiff today.

    W: 13:00 on 207 M: 15:30 on 950 (OTT6 - assume app only?). That's if you're asking qbout SS.

    Off topic Their quality is decent and they are a alternative option ton consider. But many local options to consider, and not to knock Monton... Don't have any experience with them, would rather consider supporting local as well. Especially since it is better priced in some cases.

    I'm also in the market for some goodies and am considering Aramex Global shopper to just get it here earlier and more reliably.

    Anyone have a slow-mo of this? Wasn't sure if he was taken out or taking out...?

    Have also experienced this, running a 50/50mbps line (yes not 500😵). The coverage and all that is great, but the player/interface could be better. Why no streaming option and the forwarding feels very clunky. But the content is great!
  23. Rowl
    Agreed, I would add though, Cav had the moment and knew he was out of it, why not stay to the left and not come back. Overall don't think it is his fault. I'm sure mr Lantern Rouge will clear it up for us.
  24. Rowl
    Well done! Thoroughly enjoyed the read and all the detail! Kudos on helping the rider through snake alley! How did the neck recover?
