Last weekend I saw there was some activity on the server my and some guys from work play on over lunch - only these were not those guys. So I decided to have some fun : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIi5Nlx8Mrs

I'd rearrange the words. The Covid that never should have been.

My road seeding always off my MTB rides. Usually K2C but currently I am E seeded thanks to "STBB4GOOD MTB Challenge (60km), beta 1.33, index 31.53."

TIA

Stats is just a fancy math equivalent of smoke screens and mirrors. There are fine lines running between reaction, overreaction and going bat s...t crazy. Looking at the lines at the tills in the supermarket we are well and truly in the later category.

Flippit.... cancelled for a hoax that kills less people than base jumping... jinne.

I'm gonna call hoax on this.

I am always concerned when I see hardtails that have top tubes which narrow towards the seat tube. Having had more than my fair share of frames crack right where the welding stops.

Flat pedals FTW.

e-Bikes should not be a problem if they start at the back and only overtake when safe to do so. In other words, don't ask for track, don't overtake on single track but rather wait for the road to be wide enough so you can pass. This was my only gripe on Fedhealth MTB, errr, Argus MTB, errr, CTCT MTB errr The MTB Challenge - knew I'd get to the current name eventually.

LOL Oom Paul is turning 70 in December and I doubt he will switch to a ebike or dualie any time soon. He still doing OK on his old 1x9 setup (30t x 11t - 40t).

Let me put it this way - I ride a hardtail cause I think dualies are for sissies.

Yup, he never misses it

The route or the other riders?

This could be a nice alternative for the now missing 1 day race that the Cederberg 100 miler used to offer.

There is a 30km from what I recall. Last time I rode it I was in the 60km but just recovered from a nasty cold so I downgraded to the 30km.

Last year was epic! I have always enjoyed this ride and at the new venue it was perfect. Guess I'll wait a week and do Fine Breede instead.

Interesting. The route looks very scenic.

I did this last year and the new format does not work for me. I much preferred the previous years when it was a Saturday morning ride with a fairly demanding long route that was oh so rewarding upon finishing it. This also happens to fall on the same day as the Fine Breede MTB.

Definitely in for this one. A favourite of mine on the yearly MTB calendar.

How did you get to work and back home yesterday?

Me, guilty as charged, but no on died. I tried to keep to the side as much as possible though.

When I rode past he was bandaged up but the pools of blood was still on the road surface. He had blood on his face. It was between him and a guy that came off lighter from the incident who sat on the opposite side of the road. I saw some really nicely mangled front wheels approaching Smitswinkel, but the injuries did not look too bad.

That's no good in promoting safe cycling. I parked at CTICC and did obey all traffic rules - as did all the other riders I saw on the back. Got back there in no time flat, safely. Even back in 2018 when I did my last double lap I obeyed all traffic rules from Green Points back to the start. We need to think about the image we are putting out there when we are on our bikes.
