    Anyone know what happened to Alan, or why he is not up there...?

    Lekker DSM for the win, poor conditions for a TTT.

    Great that you are you are considering the route and the ride! As said above just pack your common sense... Generally you are safe on the bike Western Cape. We did a short trip last year Dec and will do something again this year. Hit us up when you come to Swellendam, might be able to offer you some accommodation or at least a braai. This lady recently passed through town cycling on her own, doing something similar: https://empowermefirst.college/bike_challenge_23/

    Ugh, he is staying with what he knows (or thinks he knows)... And probably lurking on here again. Maybe just re-invent yourself, in a new industry, in a new country actually trying to change your spots and be an honest person.

    Did Sani2C with a HT in 2021, was one of few that I saw. Doable but will be eina now and then.

    Richard Baxter did my fit many moons ago, could feel the change and also helped that someone just looked at my pedaling style and gave some tips. If you spend R1.5k and it doesn't work for you or you're doing everything right, it is not a massive waste (money/value/everything is relative).

    Sjoe, would have been great to get a World Champs jersey on local shores. Well done Candice!

    Have also experienced the same... Have only 1 pair and about 1/1.5 years old and the back area is degrading/marbling/whatever you call it. The elastics and pad is still fine.

    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.
  13. Rowl
    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.
  18. Rowl
    They might, but not sure if the stock tyres are tubeless ready🤔
  19. Rowl
    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).
  20. Rowl
    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)

    @CatzSpace - Frail

    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.
