    1C... and I'm going to take the 29er so this does not bode well. Just a heads up, the yellow lane coming down into Stellenbosch at Blue Jay farm is closed. They are fixing a hole.

    I've been thinking about a few things regarding this event. Somehow I think this will become the only MTB event to go along with both the CTCT and the SCT. Here are the reasons I believe that is the case and that there won't be a Stellenbosch MTB challenge later in the year. 1) The timing, The MTB Challenge is between the SCT and CTCT. 2) The name, calling the simply The MTB Challenge means it can apply to both SCT and CTCT. 3) The route, it incorporates sections features on the old Argus MTB as well as the old Stellenbosch MTB. 4) Dirtopia did say they are offloading the Stellenbosch MTB. The one question I do have is are they still giving these away to people that complete both the 60km MTB and the CTCT?

    The 60km is going to be way harder than the old long route. This is basically the Fedhealth long route - and it's a tough one.

    Seeing as they brought it back to Stellenbosch and I can make my way to the start on my bicycle, I'm in.

    Last year this event seems to have been the best kept secret on the calendar, but it id happen and a few people figured out when and where it was. For 2020 I can't find any clues as to when it will be. Is it even happening?

    Last commute for me was today - family already left for the beach so I had no choice but to take the bike and ride 170km. I feel it is a rather fitting way to end, the whole year my bike took me to and from work, now I have the chance to let it take me away to my holiday destination. One thing is sure though, it's going back home on a bike rack

    Joining the family that already made their way to the West Coast.

    I actually took the job I have now just because it would allow me to ride this route every day.
  13. Rouxenator
    I realised that this is the first year I never rode the road bike on the commute. Only rode it twice in 2019, once on the Argus and once on the One Tonner. MTB every other day. Some pics from the usual ride home.

    I'm keen too. I did the 2018 Fed Health (the one that was not a big cluster f...k) and it was a killer. Imagine that at the end of February when it's nice and toasty outside.
  15. Rouxenator
    So this is the same route as Fedhealth ?
  16. Rouxenator
    Tandem? I won't even commute on a road bike. It's either mostly my 29er or when that is not possible the 26er.
  17. Rouxenator
    I am more patient on the bike, for example when I can lane split to the front of the line at traffic lights. I am way more impatient when I take the car and realise how much less freedom I have.

    Thanks, very slow week for me... Tuesday I dropped the car off for some work and walked to the bike shop to picked up my 26er that was in for a service - so only half the commute to work. They did not put enough air in the fork so I could not take my usual rocky route home... short commute home. Yesterday the afternoon commute was cut in half as I had to go pick up the car again. Today I will hopefully get in the usual 11 + 25 on my 29er. Odo rolled over to 27,000 on the way to work.

    Dang! I get new money at the end of every month - but my time on earth is running out. I'd rather pay someone to do that.

    I have toyed with the idea of having mine stripped. How much does it cost?

    I was planning on my usual lekker 25km this afternoon, but instead of going home I have to visit the folks on the farm, so I'm down to 6km. Edit : Plans changed and went home, a bit shorter.
  24. Rouxenator
    Realistically speaking we only have 46 days left of the year (and decade - let that sink in). Of those days it is only 23 work days left for me. So at best I'll be adding 800km, maybe less.

    What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. What does kill you, makes you twice as strong - Dom Mazzetti, BroScienceLife I suffered a bit to work today and yesterday realised that because my after noon commute is more than double as long as the morning one, I still get wind
