I am going to do this. Few simple questions please: 1. I have a 105 road groupset - can I use it as is for the conversion on my 10 speed XT MTB? Meaning, replace everything from XT to 105 incl the cassette - I cannot think why it would not work. On a gravel handlebar of course. 2. Can I simply replace my XT hydraulic brakes with mechanicals and will the 105 mechanical shifter be able to do the job? Thanks in advance

Agree. Last year the 1st MTB in was 36th overall

I have 2 free weeks on the app - can you not use those?

Sorry only saw this now. Ryan was upping the pace got away from the peleton - dont recall Marc staying with him long though - Marc was back in the chasing bunch into the reserve

Was in the convoy Break went up the road and managed 5 min at some point. Tristan was in there no other threats. On the last lap the gap came down. On the road leading to SBR there wasa crossswind from right to left. The pace got hard en the peleton was strung out and then gaps appeared - those out of position lost out and got into scattered bunches. Tristan was lone leader with 2 mins or so. At that stage also Ryan got away. Into the reserve it all fel apart. The bunch was down to about 12and they were dropping one by one. Morne got away slowly and was thus 3rd on the road. The remaining small bunch out of the reserve was only Reinie, Marc and 3 u23s (who ended up sprinting for their own podium). So Ryan did catch Tristan at the exit and rode away. Won by like 2 mins from Tristan who was in front of Morne.

Following with interest. Bikepack or road?

From experience Centurion 20-30 Velo 40-60 LCC sometimes 2-3 groups of 30

Yoh I have not spent his much time on the hub since I discovered por

Yah join a club dude. Or more than one. Plenty options as it is in Pretoria over a weekend and the club ride are normally lekke big.

Ohnoooooo. Was my favourate to win. Think he abandoned last year too.

This is nuts. 18 hours in Drikus 470km Thinus 431km Willie 427km Hansie 415km

Approaching 200km its very early to judge. I think Drikus is going too hard, Willie is the dark horse but inexperienced at this it will count against him this uncertainty - and his plan not to sleep hmmmm. Thinus - too young his also not known for this distances. David is good but 800km to go still... To me they all playing into the hands of Hansie.

My money is now on Jack Black

Has to be a proper money spinner this event with almost no logistics except renting a sattelite for the tracking.

26th will be 10 laps of Klapperkop again. Thats 180km in the bag. Just saying

You dont really need that mount

Saw this: Dear Cycling SA Member, Kindly note that the Cycling SA App (Membership & Licensing Portal) will permanently be removed from the Google Play and App Store on 11th August 2023. Please note that the membership portal will still be available via a web browser, therefore, as from 12 August 2023, members will only be able to access the membership portal via https://www.cyclingsa-events.co.za/app_v2/.

Too close to replace it now - sadly we will need to proceed without the Satellite. There will be an updated post this week will share it here too.

Also got R-sys Also got the itch

Hi, I just played the gameboard and got 125 points! Very sure the lowest used to be 150 points = one coffee. 125 points is NOT one coffee any more.

.... and Covid. Covid changed how we think and how we cycle. we just never got back into the groove and event organizer took a beating with sponsors. Its a different world.

National road series champion badge 🎖️ We dont have much to offer this year (yet, maybe an invitation to the annual awards ceremony?)- if it takes off and there is interest, then we can negotiate with some leverage with the EOs and potential sponsors - baby steps unfortunately. The Aus road series is hugely popular but it took them a few years. One of the potential spinoff can be to include criteriums or road races with criteriums (both for adults and to offer raicng to youths) - remember the crits after Emperors? Can not be colours unfortunately - colours you earn when you represent your country or province.

Hi guys - here are the rules for the series - lets have it and be kind please. Reminder its a pilot with the aim to test and learn for a proper 2024 national road series 2023 National road series.pdf
