Another update to the saga: https://www.iol.co.za/pretoria-news/klapperkop-nature-reserve-warning-after-cyclist-escapes-attack-39401986 @River Rat do you know how we get onto the WA group? I won't stop riding Klapperkop, just have to even more vigilant.

If you need a partner give me a shout

Yeah looking forward to it! Also following on Insta.

Great news!

Good luck Frail!

Must say I share your sentiment.

I thought the race was very well organised, had no issues with the directions/signs (but I got dropped, so rode mostly on my own). Didn't take in the race village but used the parking and generally had a good experience. Two things that stood out for me: 1. Was also in B bunch and also thought that the Motorcycle Marshall was very good. Kudo's! 2. Very happy about the fact that there were metro officers on almost every corner. And most were very friendly. Will defs be back next year. Nothing like a proper home town race. PS. Does anyone know what happened to the rider down in Centurion/Lyttelton? The bunch passed the ambulance and rider on a stretcher.

Looking for some help... This is my pet project, the fork will be chromed and have some Velocity Deep V wheels that'll go with it. The shifters have seen some life - mechanically still in very good condition. However, the caps require some repainting and from what I can tell, the clear coat on the levers are coming off. I'm going to lightly sand the dust caps and respray. Do I then just sand and polish the levers? Anyone know where I can get 5500 hoodies?

I'll get in on that action, very close to Lynnwood Bridge and work in Sandton. Edit: Just need to figure out where to leave my bike at the office.

I found it very decent, well marshalled. Didn't have any issues with the cars, but I can imagine some civilians being very unhappy. Those are some busy roads. Rode in BL, again felt the bunch was a bit nervous. Specially with the cones, one of them ping ponged between a few riders, with some less than happy guys and girls. The second half of Lynnwood felt neutralised as everyone ready for Hans Strydom. It felt like a climb, not just a bump, but still good. Will be back for it.

This does not make me sad...

To reference another thread, the commentators back the decision. But agree it wasn't good communication. What race will be next for Cav? Edit: I also think he is not currently good enough.

Fair point, let's hope this is not the case at the TdF.

The was quite damning and deservedly so. EBH seems to be the only one left with fight in him. The rest don't seem to care.

For better (giving us a laugh) or worse (giving us a bad name), can this guy be banned from the Hub? That aside, all the best to everyone running tomorrow!

How secure is the mount on mtb trails etc, the pepper spray won't go flying on a technical downhill? Edit: Language.

You referring to this? https://www.iol.co.za/pretoria-news/walk-at-klapperkop-nature-reserve-turns-into-horror-24248036

Patties???? Sorry to have missed it then.

Sounds like a good one. Race report?

On the same topic, I have not seen a Woolies or PnP voucher for the 100 points in about 2 months as well. At least the Dischem voucher is available still.

Anyone on the cycling Team Vitality this year? No cycling events after 06/07/2019 - Cowhouse mtb and the bulk of the cycling events are mtb races.

DDD not in the top 10 and Sagz Baby dropped. Hard to swallow both of those. But MvdP! Here's to hoping that he can continue this form for the few Classics that remain (if entered...).

What a ride! A lot of luck involved, but gosh well done!

Can I just say MvdP!
