    I believe his name was Colin. Think he surfed for Western Province.

    Are we only discuss the events that features a bicycle, or are we going to mention any other great performances by Team SA so far? Ps can we claim Flora Duffy's gold medal in the triathlon as she is currently living and training (to some extend) in SA?

    I would definitely be interested, hope you have not sold it already?!

    I once cycled passed a car standing on the side of the road when the driver shouted 'please, help me'. I was cycling girl-alone and this was about 30km out of town. Decided to give the driver the benefit of the doubt and turned my bike around. For a minute or two it did feel like I was doing the stupidest thing in the world. Driver said it felt like an epileptic fit was coming on and could I please take her to the nearest hospital. Loaded my bike in the back of the car and then drove her to hospital. Was rewarded with a really nice bunch of flowers

    Also back in it after recovering from my little accident! Found the shifting and braking a bit uncomfortable this morning on the road bike with the dislocated finger, will have to opt for the mountain bike until all is healed.

    Might have broken the GoPro! Definitely getting one of these for WHENEVER l leave the house by bike: https://www.amazon.com/Nutcase-Metroride-Helmet-Technicolor-Medium/dp/B01K0OT2MM/ref=sr_1_28?keywords=nutcase+helmet+adult&qid=1556539927&s=gateway&sr=8-28

    It all started with us riding around the block in order for the dog to get a bit of a run. Fiance felt the urge to start racing us (me with one hand on the bars and the other holding the dog's leash + being pulled along by a whippet makes you go nice and fast). Flip flops slipped off the pedals when the gear slipped and I had no way to control the bike riding with one hand! Ended up taking out a sprinkler, baby tree and landing with my face on a stone = bad concussion.

    Had a bit of a mishap riding around the neighbourhood this past Saturday. No commuting for me for the next three weeks

    I am looking to buy a second hand fork from Randfontein area. Is there a bike shop any hubbers can recommend that can check out the fork for me? Would like for someone to have a look before I take the plunge and buy it all the way from Cape Town?

    My one commute got logged as canicross! Obviously a thumb error, but why the need to make an endomondo category for running with your dog (I had to google that).

    I joined the challenge on Friday. This was after my morning commute to the office. I was planning to hitch a ride back home with a colleague, but after I saw my name on the board with 0km next to it, I decided what the heck and cycled home. My aim will be to cycle at least twice a week, my commute is roughly 17km one way.

    I rode in the area in 2016. My route was from Mbabane south to Bhunya, Mankayana, Sicunusa, Nhlangano, Hlatikulu, Manzini and ending at Malkerns. I was travelling by myself (girl alone) and did not experience any dangerous situation or unwelcome attention. Be ready for a lot of climbing, I am convinced I haven't cycled ANY flat sections!! I camped at the police station in Bhunya. Stayed at the Phumula Farm Guesthous in Nhlangano. Had a dodgy hotel in Hlatikulu which turned out not to be that bad and ended at Malandela in Malkerns (highly recommended) I did only paved road and hitched a ride for the dirt road section past Gege, which had roadworks and lots of dust.

    Even more amazing is Tyler Fattar finishing in the top 10! Ooooooops, wrong youtube video, obviously it was too good to be true!

    Looking at the finishing photo, it does not seem like any mtn riders were in the thick of things

    Johann van Zyl (MTN - Qhubeka) enters the last 45 km with a lead down to 1'40. I wonder how much longer he can hold out...
  25. hopefield
    The other escapees gave up: Km 95: Johann van Zyl is now the only rider out of the peloton with a lead of 3 minutes.
