  1. Seeing as the other thread is closed, I'll just leave this here.
  2. Anyone watching the UAE tour and where? I switching om Tiz now (I think).
  3. Lifetime GP purse for the full year is a total of $380k across 6 events. This will offer $150k across 6 days. If they can get Lachlan/Keagan/Sophia, (based on the connection with Matt and previously riding the other epic, why not), they'll have a good marketing step to attract the rest of the market.
  4. With the prize money it will definitely pull a variety of names. But tend to agree the lekkerness is a bit different.
  5. https://www.treadmtb.co.za/nedbank-commits-to-five-year-title-sponsorship-of-gravel-burn/
  6. Make contact with the Hillbillies in George, some good options here. Routes are on Trailforks and day and week passes are available. Send me a PM if you need help.
  7. Noooo? Was hoping to do this for the first time.
  8. Wasn't there an article on here saying he was going to be on the startline? (Yes anyone can chop and change their calendar as they see fit...).
  9. Monty is rideable with some skill and preferably not a gravel bike else a lot of hiking (ask me how I know).
  10. What is the km target for TTOM, Jan to race start? No prior experience in marathon running 🫠
  11. Anyone looking to do some mountain biking in the George region can join the Hillbillies tomorrow and the 24th for a tour of the George Dam/Saasveld trails. The rides will be lead by the trail builder himself! Date: 17 & 24 December Start: George Dam Security Boom Gate Time: 06:00 Ride Type: Moderately Technical with escape options Duration: 1-2hrs Remember your helmet and please support the HB work to maintain this awesome trail network.
  12. Thanks for sharing! Reading these race reports never gets old. Tip of the hat to your best result and the agency to do it.
  13. Can't comment on the train tracks, but the gravel roads in the George area are still generally safe, irregardless, just be vigilant.
  14. Good race, good people! Enjoy!

    This, thanks for sharing @Mamil!
  16. I fitted some zrace cable to hydraulics on my previous bike, was very happy them. https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/177590-adapter-for-flat-mount-caliper-on-post-mount-frame/page/2/#findComment-3940613

    They should be going live on FB when DC and MM are close.
  18. Theres'it! In physical media for once, the latest Bicycling has a short article on the Prince Alfred pass and the linkage to Plett.
  19. Where did I see the recent article on the Prince Alfred pass and 'cheesecake in De Vlugt'?? i.e. the Karoo2Coast route but starting from Plett is doable. If you're passing through George, do include the Hillbillies trails (amazing as well). Then going to De Rust, check the Swartberg Gran Fondo route for gravel.
  20. Good one, thanks for sharing and hope you're ok.
  21. Going back to Krugersdorp is fine (edit: legal), going to Pretoria, not so much (illegal).
  22. $20 Winter pass for all CX races, SS will probably only do WC races, right????
  23. They have a variety of groups/ride types, else there is always the 05:00 Palm Tyres option. You're welcome to send me a PM.
