Hey everyone, As a quick update on our favourite two-wheeled hairy adventurer, @Jewbacca . His training for the Munga 2024 was rolling along really smoothly, and his bike was all set for the long road to Cape Town. However, life threw a bit of a curveball his way with some health issues over the past few months. But, in true Jewbacca fashion, he's tackling this challenge head-on with his signature humor and resilience. We will be online again soon to offend some and argue with others. After all, every epic adventure has its unexpected twists, and @Jewbacca is just gearing up for an even more legendary comeback and will be on the Munga start line next year no matter what.

Sorry yes, I should have caveated that with “if he is not totally unhinged”

Have you tried contacting Willie Engelbrecht as it is his brand?

I might have an entry for you if you still need. DM me your cell number.

The Best solution I have seen from mountain biking races are arrows made of chalk powder on the ground. It is difficult to remove, get blown away etc.

Their stuff is good and Ashleigh is good to deal with.

@guidodg just a note that on the website for the race the link for the long route goes to the 30km route.

This is the idea for the Gravduro (know as Grinduro in the US and UK) It looks like a lot of fun.

I bought a bike from them a few years ago and they were great.

I have some old S-tracks that you can have. PM me if you want them. Collection in Tokai, Cape Town.

As far as I know, SANparks is responsible for the road over OKW. I wouldn't know who to contact or if they would even do anything.

Staylive who are streaming the UCI MTB World Cups are also now offering all the Eurosport road cycling races in SA. You can watch live and on-demand later. I just signed up for $7.99 per month. No VPN is required.

Yes that was what I was running, but just to be clear it is the wrong choice. 😂 I am running 50/34 - 11/28 this year.

It was 2 by, so I was 48 for the flats

I was 40 - 28 which was not a great choice...
