straatvark

I was amazed: How loose the first 2 or 3 bunches worked that sandy patches. I wish I had taken before and after photos. How big the leading 2 or 3 bunches was - no changes of really picking a line. How the big bunches disintegrated on Malanshoogte. How brutal that last 12-15 km is. (and I was on a motorbike) Well done all!

just make sure it is a different lady waiting every time, then no helmet required

ditto - started to enter and then saw the total for the tandem. One can cycle somewhere, stay in B&B and cycle back the next day for that money.

Included in a coffee - a 'bike pass' to go trough the estate and thereby skip the ''turn' Stellenbosch traffic when using the R44 & R304.

thanks, blushing - really need to read until the last 3 words for that

So what day do we see the first photo? (At least one was submitted yesterday)

You could say that again - in 260km, on a Sunday afternoon I had seen 4 humans: a donkey car carrying a mom & two kids as well as a farmworker fixing a flat on his farm bakkie.

nice one, where is that?

damn, time to call my ex for a chat

Enter the sportif http://www.sport.be/classicchallenge/1314/ and do it yourself. The Flemish is friendly and praat die taal.

I rode the route 'down' with a motorbike yesterday. Oh man, this is far....but the scenery - priceless. Ouberg was covered with very loose gravel/tennisballs in the last week or two. The word 'slippery' cant described it. tempted

brilliant.. Good luck! Have loads of fun! tsk tsk...one day....

I met two touring Potch students just outside Stilbaai with 6mm steel round bar racks that they built/welted in one evening for less that R20 each. After several 2000km+ off-road it was still going well. Made me blush with my expensive Old man mountain racks... but then, my time is a bit more restricted to sit with a broken rack next to the road. But it prove that it can be done cheap.

Then you are at the wrong place - this might work better: http://www.capetowngiants.org.za/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=66

+1, can't highlight this enough. Buy the best you can afford. (definitely not the lightest) My original front wheel imploded after a couple of meters on the rim after a blowout on a downhill, not pretty... surprised my wife is still getting back on.

To be honest, I had to Google the name and found this section in Wikipedia that might lighten the mood http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyatt_Earp#Dubious_claims_by_Earp

OK, found it. http://www.audaxsa.co.za Something in CT?

I got this via an email: Ireland's weather is unpredictable, but the Southwest coast is very, very scenic. http://www.audaxireland.org/2013/11/mile-failte-1200/

Hi Is there maybe a more recent program available? That might build towards 2015. I had seen a post in the last month or so that ask for interesting parties, but cant seem to find it with the search now. thanks!

I always thought Arabella is next to Ashton?
