  1. Down the hill, off to work.
  2. The climb from Wuppertal is a 4x4 trail.
  3. They what now? I was contemplating making the same mistake again and taking the 26er this Sunday. Dafuq?
  4. Ag, it's oukay you know. CTCT is certainly not the top event on my calendar. I do it because it's 20 minutes away from home.
  5. If you are going to do that, then don't go over the timing mats at the finish,
  6. I recall back in the day of timing chip Racetec used to have mats after the splits, and Meurant also uses his trail tag readers on routes that has splits. But this weekend, if you wanted to cheat you could easily do so.
  7. Protest action - but if they admitted that then the communists win.
  8. Wind was never the reason it got canceled that one time.
  9. "Met baie moeite" - that's how. But in retrospect it was a character building experience, pity I could not use it's nimbleness on the single track because by the time I reached them I had been over taken by other riders that were faster on the jeep track but much slower in the ST. Rode my 29er Sola 1 to work today... much easier bike to ride.
  10. I don't see why they should discount it. You are doing the full distance again, you can pay the full price again - it's fair towards the other riders.
  11. With Saturday done and, well, more muded than dusted - if all goes well Sunday I'll have another piece or wood and metal to jam together and put in the cupboard.
  12. Wait, tell me you also blame it on taking a bike that was 2 sizes too small and a 15 year old 26er? https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/180695-event-cape-town-cycle-tour-mtb-challenge-2019/?p=3467421 Hey.... maybe I should take that old Kona and ride it next week....
  13. Got my 2nd lap email on Friday, which is too late. Already made other arrangements based on a finish time of around 3:15. Those worried about the time you need on your first lap - don't be. I was worried too my first time but if you stick in your start batch and not waste time at the finish you'll make it. Relax. Last year I started in 1G and rode a 3:12, hit lots of red lights on the way back to the start from the finish - still had time to spare in the start chute for the 2nd lap.
  14. Rode in on the bike from Welgevonden and when I got there I knew I made a mistake. You see drunk me thought I should try the old 26er Kona, which hung over me was less pleased with today. Apart from taking the wrong bike this was absolutely awesome. Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  15. A little fun ride on an old 26er... Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  16. Can't decide if I should take my trusty 29er or rusty 26er...
  17. Everything is a funride if you're brave enough.
  18. Nope, don't think they are doing that this year.
  19. Well, if you want to treat the starts group as an array then I suppose starting at offset 0 is the correct way.
  20. On my way to work, now with the old 10speed drivetrain off my 29er (done at 1am today)
  21. Imagine if they just had groups numerically, starting at 1...
  22. So what's your view on an obviously novice rider out there on a MTB with slicks and a car behind them making things tricky for other road users? On Saturday I was stuck behind one such vehicle going through Stellenbosch and yesterday I went for a run around the block and encounter such a "convoy" coming from the front up Slaley hill. That said, at the start of my run I passed many friendly roadies on the R304 without a vehicle behind them.
