Was a big crash in B batch at 30km mark. This resulted in the size of the batch being halved whereafter it all got a bit more comfortable. Guess we have all forgotten how to ride in big batches

Yip, rode in B. Very nervous bunch. Was a big crash around half way which cause bunch to split whereafter bunch riding was a bit more organised. Finished up in 2.26. Hopefully that will improve seeding a bit as it fell through it's own butt due to no races since since start lockdown

Which batch were you in?

Teletubbies land

To the bush workshop

Pyga ran at ~R1000/month at ~500km/month, ie R2/km (this is based on 5 years data so should be pretty accurate) Road bike is about half that on a per km basis (over same time span). I should add that I'm pretty anal; if the bike makes funny noises, i get it sorted out (small maintenance myself, bigger/more complicated stuff at LBS)

Mark Human at Olivedale clnic.

Think avdb kept the pace too hgh for avv to break away. Good teamwork fro SD Works but reckon that team is a little too dominant

But on a Tallboy you do not need skills .... nearly rides itself

How did that landing go??

I know someone who did!!!!

As I have it they are running both a mens and womens race?

And Dwars door Vlaanderen en Gent Wevelgem.

Did not see Hope on your list. Specs: 12% ovality and 113-degree clocking. Ridden Hope and CSIXX and do not feel the difference between the two

Hi Tracey, Although you are indeed not far from either the Cradle or Northern Farm, you are competing with venues which actually at those areas (cafe at Northern Farm and several spots in the cradle which I am sure you know). So in a way you are stuck in no-mans land. I think you will have to come up with some USP which would make people stop at your place as opposed to those mentioned above. As mentioned before there are trails in your immediate area but they are not very widely used. From what I can see you are pretty close to Copperlake Brewery and Brendan (cyclist himself) is organising rides on a regular basis. Maybe chat to him to see if there are some synergies between the two of you

Can only speak for myself but I am fantastic

Interesting that so many of you have had bad experiences with Sunrace. I've had two 11sp 11/46 cassettes on my previous bike running with an XT derailleur and my wife currently runs the 12sp 11/50 Sunrace with SRAM GX derailleur. None have ever posed an issue.

Is it?

I need one of those to bark instructions to my family

Not all frames accommodate a 36T so make sure to check that beforehand

The sort of post one makes when bored and decide to bait the water a little to get the fight going .....sometimes the contenders are not lus to go after each other though. Gotta pick something which speak more to tribal instincts like "Pyga is way better that Spez "

Before or after he carried Urs Huber across an Epic Stage finishline ..... on one leg

I wonder who those planes really belong to

In cradle area you can add Kingskloof for some more technical riding as well as a whole set of other informal trails.....just check the Strava heat maps

Most good / reasonable shops on Westrand have been mentioned. Can add the following 2 to the excellent list: Bicycle Service Company - Fourways Dagley's - Honeydew (opposite main entrance to Eagle Canyon)
