Stiggy

2 days of gravel riding around the eastern Free State, popping into towns like Rosendal, Slabbert, Fouriesburg and Clarens. It was fun until it wasn't, had horrible weather on Saturday afternoon

Take it easy, had the same expectations after a crash. Felt ok, that afternoon couldn't get off the couch. 2 broken ribs and bone bruising on my hip. Hope the bike is ok! #thereare2typesofcyclists

Hi all Here's my stats from the weekend. I don't have a powermeter, so these figures are from Strava. I managed to finish with 2h49 1C 93kg NP ??? Edinburg 1.72km 5.5% │ 422w 4:42 Smits last 1.65km 5.5% │ 331w 4:37 Little Chappies 1.42km 4.1% │ 399w 3:24 Big Chappies 1.72km 4.8% │ 381w 4:46 Small Suikerbossie 0.62km 4.7% │ 436w 1:28 Big Suikerbossie 1.86km 6.7% │ 375w 5:59 PS: also sat on the wheel of the guy from 1D, but lost him when we hit Chappies as we had merged with 1B and things were a bit chaotic from there.

Cool was going to ask the same question. Would Liesbeek be the safer option? Seeing there has been some issues along Main road? Also how good are the street lights, can I get there without a front light?

I'm useless on Instagram, anyone want to join my pro team

Hi all. Need some help. If I buy a racing road license will they move you into the racing batches? #askingforafriend

I did the The Grind (Reverse) last year, great event. Well stocked water tables and tough route. It was self-nagivating route which added some excitement to the race. Also quite scenic as mostly riding through farms and countryside. Keen to enter again next year and see what the "normal" route poses!

This looks awesome! Where about is this place?

Congrats Matt and the team! Many an hour spent on the site, thanks for keeping it updates, interactive and allround lekker! Here's to another 20years and more

All the highveld riders reading this are green with envy!

I concur! Looks amazing

Great news! All the best

On another note, has anyone bought their bibshorts? Prices seem reasonable and would like to know before I spend R1.5k on bibs. Thanks

If you're near Kyalami, go to the Leeuwkop prison. Great riding there and you can get about 60kms odd. The entrance is near the old golf course clubhouse.
