I have also noticed this lately. Takes a bit longer to sell things now. Could also just be time of year.

What time must we in our start batches? And there was no start card in my race pack? See you all in the morning. Going to be rad.

Which reminds me, I never got the bag of beans... I did the first two. Will try and make this one.

That was such a bizarre morning.

Who is in the team this year?

Yes, just before Boyes on the Main Rd.

Just before Lakeside there are some road works too. I am sure they will make a plan on the day, but it is a bit of a mess.

WooHoo! When does the seeding come out? Do I need a CSA licence? What is the weather forecast? Do I need 26 inch wheels or 29?

And he is in Sky kit. I don't know. Ja, maybe he doesn't care.

He is on Quick Step next year, so Spez.

Excellent picture though. Sometimes you dont want to see the last few hours.

Shame, very sad that the guy that trash talks all over social media gets dropped and doesn't finish.

What camera is that?

After 10am.

"For the Pure Love of It" ??

The moment Pure Savage had a heart attack!

Went up to Johannesburg this weekend to ride the new Kyalami layout. Was an incredible day out. Various lap views in my YouTube channel.

Thanks! Price is not bad at all.

Meezo, where did you get the helmet from?

I am not sure if substitutions are allowed. But I have 75km entry free to a good home. DM me if you are interested.

Going to have to miss this one. Enjoy guys, I will try and stop to watch a lap or two.

I had a good race, first decent result for me for the series this year. I really enjoy that course and the venue. Some pics of me from Theo Bruwer. http://theobruwer.photofrog.co.za/gig/asset/index/container/WyJNb2RlbF9HaWdfQ29udGFpbmVyIiwiMXl5Il0=/force/1

I was there on Sunday and I am going to go through again tomorrow afternoon. The main line is exactly the same as last year. A very little bit more rutted and blown out. Only differences. After the first "rock drop" right at the top. The left hand berm used to run into two small rollers. They are now bigger, so its either a bigger pump, but you can jump them now. Just jump front wheel high.Before the gap jump section, there was a small rocky kicker jump. Something has changed there and it doesn't sky rocket you anymore, you can hit it with more speed now.The right hand berm just before the gap is rutted right in the normal line. It is you can hit the rut just fine or above and below it. Below the rut does send you a little off line though.A little further down there are the two double jumps. The jumps are more worn now so you need to hit them with more speed and more pump to clear them. The rest of Lombards seemed to be the same.At the bottom, that like "bath tub" section. The table tops have much sharper lips, so you are launched a bit better now over the tables. I still cant get the triple right.

Yes! If you want to do well at a marathon stage race, come race the XC series!
