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.

I need one of those to bark instructions to my family

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

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

Say howzit to Kenny M

Woes trails....hard to beat

Isimangaliso....such a lekker event...rode it in 2016

Sjoe Benky on a rigid for that distance and corrugation.....gonna struggle to lift a cup of coffee for a long time to come

Not really, just turn around and continue once on the right track....most guys ride to finish rather than win

What time was that?

Gotta remember two things when comparing to football: - As a sport football is way bigger so way more money sloshing around. - Football clubs share in the TV rights and as far as I know that is normally their biggest source of income (complemented by ticket sales and merchandise). The only party scoring on TV rights for riding are the organisers and ASO in particular

These pics make me proper jealous of you CPT okes....thought of how k@k your weather can be is somewhat consoling
