    Has your friend seen their latest calendar? Lets just say it's not what it used to be....

    At least he got the Kings to punch above their weight by playing as a team with a bunch of no-name players that nobody else wanted...

    I'll need to seriously up the training for this - it really isn't delicate....

    Good luck all!

    Jip, it looks like we'll be alright with only some rain predicted for Monday. The last couple of years have been dry and dusty, but my impression is that the routes shouldn't be impacted that much by rain and should dry out fairly quickly. Looks like we're not going to suffer in the heat this year!

    I don't do a lot of races and it took me a couple of years to get get my seeding to the point where I could start in A batch in Sani (Adventure) this year. I have literally started in most groups from A to M over the last couple of years and there is a major difference in skill level between the first and the last groups - both in riding ability and being alert to the riders around you. This is something that has to be learned over time and yes, for some it's quicker than for others. Personally I don't feel improving your seeding using an e-bike would be fair and it will lead to more risk to the non e-bike riders. If you want to race, don't ride an e-bike. If you want to ride one in races, start at the back and stay there as you chose to treat it as a leisurely ride and not a race.

    +1 (at least...) I cannot recall ever seeing a single smoker actually keeping his bud in his car and this really boggles my mind - and that's only after I get past the fact that they are inconsiderate enough to smoke whilst there are other people in the car! Must be one of the most selfish habits out there.

    Entered, although next year the CTCT is not the main focus of the weekend. I cannot wait to go to the XCO world cup race in Stellenbosch on the Saturday and that makes it totally worthwhile for me!

    Isn't it ironic...

    Yoh, life is harsh sometimes and stories like this brings the reality home. Very thankful for what I have. Sincere condolences to the family.

    Het Naafland 'n afrikaanse modereerder?

    Ek's in - lekker manne!

    Awesome race, but start slow. Don't underestimate any of the stages, they're all tough. If you still feel strong at the top of Long Tom hammer the last 50 km. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

    I passed two runners (male and female) in SBR a couple of months ago - but they were doing the looong loop! I was on my MTB and did greet them...

    I've never had any problems as well, but last week one of the activities showed in the calendar for a couple of days before the points were allocated. Yesterdays workout has not pulled through yet - from Garmin Connect...

    I really like this reasoning...
  21. HOEKVLAG
    I'm also waiting for this with baited breath...
  22. HOEKVLAG
    I also got the R125 for Shoe Booster back this morning.... So far, so good!
  23. HOEKVLAG
