  1. Fly to George, rental vehicle to Plett if you can drop it off there or just join the Cross Cape route from George.
  2. You dont leave yourself much room for mud clearance, you can almost certainly expect to wear that frame through if it is going to be muddy and you ride those 2.2's. Hoping for a dry race for you okes.
  3. I've seen some meteorologist reports somewhere that the Cape is in for a low winter rainfall this year and considering all the rain & mud of the last 3-4 years murphy's law says it will most likely be a clear sunny day in 2025. I was part of a 2 man team in 2019 (dual suspension) & 2022 (hardtail) both times was a mud fest. You cannot compare K2C to ATP. ATP is non technical so you can get away with a gravel bike but can you endure the corrugation and should it be muddy for all of 100 miles? Lots of gravel bikes did not make it the last time around. 7:15 is a good target if you don't get caught up with the racing bunches. There is no shortage of rolling hills that will surely sap your last bit of energy & humor. https://www.strava.com/activities/2547490243 https://www.strava.com/activities/7514824241
  4. As per ProcyclingStats these are Remco's upcoming races. Has not had a single race day yet in 2025.
  5. he wants to ride a climb not walk next to his bike.
  6. There was a crash in the lead up to the Cipressa, seemed like a narrow road that all the teams wanted to go in first, even UAE that was leading at the time got squeezed out at the last second, which ultimately cost Pogacar & his team position & where I personally think UAE lost the race.
  7. Bump: Reminder for any new & old interested riders, please see calendar for the remainder of the season. National Event in 3 weeks time happening at Overberg Bmx Track in Hermanus. zone 7 this Sunday again.
  8. Very likely the new bike from the new team that never materialized
  9. Imagine they knew you were a cyclist as well 😁
  10. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DG40rUhqw_z/?igsh=a2w0eGFvazliZXZi
  11. I can't remember where I saw it but besides Cycling Friends who else does Bike Rentals in Cape Town?
  12. I think you should take SA ID along for the reduced rate.
  13. I was in this race or maybe 🤔 I wasnt because I got dropped up Ou Kaapse Weg already 😭🤯🫠
  14. That will be perfect 👌🏻 less than 16 hours means you are either winning it or standing on the podium at the very least. Good luck 👍🏻
  15. Mountain bike or gravel bike? Time goals? Any fast rolling tire should do the trick. I’ll probably go with a tire with more volume, for comfort one once fatigue sets in.
  16. Too early to check, as per previous years they’ll just air it on the day with no notice. Edit: Tiz Cycling is where you can watch live with ads and pop ups.
  17. At first I thought it has to be this but they did say no Strava will be considered 😔
  18. can only be my affiliations keeping me afloat that I can think of.
  19. for sure, I'll basically be riding from climb to climb, get dropped and wait for the next group to catch me. 🤷‍♂️ you're not helping If I fall back then traffic will not be an issue does the boobies group ride topless #askingforafriend
  20. After zero bike racing since last years CTCT, I was so looking forward to having a social ride at the back this year, until they sent my seeding out. Now I'm having sleepless nights of where to start, stick to the original plan or line up with the racing bro's ☠️⚰️
  21. We accidentally ran positive splits and it worked out in our favor. Not sure going out slower would’ve helped our cause in this game force winds. Aim was for 3:15 and we nailed it at 3:13 eventually.
  22. I wont be surprised if they take our 50% "functioning unit" refurb it and then resell it for 100% profit.
