Some gopro footage of the 50 km. You never know, perhaps you recognize yourself or someone you know. Edit: We started in P, haven't entered any events in years so we started way back. Was an awesome route, especially after Saturdays mudfest which made it nice n smooth for us on the day. Suffered like a donkey, every rider infront was a big juicy carrot.

Not sure if it was shared

About two years ago I rode from McGregor to the top of Galgeberg and then let the Gopro run from the top all the way back into McGregor. Loved it!

Times like these we need Big H, he is/was mos a pad builder and knows all the ins-and-outs when comes to padwerke and sorts.

I would think there are many sections on the national roads network that you are allowed to ride or walk or jog, where the speed limit is reduced where signage is displayed and where you pass through a town or something. A lot of the signs get stolen and does not get replaced anymore, but these signs should be placed at the start and end which informs you that only vehicles or motorcycles above or equal to 150 cc will be allow. I asume there is some kind of record of these marked areas of some kind kept up to date somewhere?

Will there be a no tent entry option so that i can utilise that saving for air bnb accommodation and put my tush into hyper care for the night?

Basically any mtb fitted with drop bars can be used if you really wanna go for comfort. Screenshot is from the FAQs section of the gravel burn website

New Tdf of gravel biking. Tdf of Mtb also started in Knysna. How things have changed. Déjà vu

There was no commentary during ladies xco, but we have for mens 🤷🏼‍♂️

Agreed. They have to think of ways to reduce costs as a business and turn a profit. It’s still epic for our international guests racing the pro’s on our local trails. Also to compare 8 days of racing as hard as 3 weeks of the TdF is just plain silly, but that’s just plain old marketing hype that will never go away. Epic is still bloody hard and you need to spend at least 10 hours a week in the saddle for a couple of months before the event to make it enjoyable and able to remember the experience. Also helps to have partner not stronger than you. Us locals are not getting bang for our buck so to speak anymore. The majority of South Africans would not want to spend a R117k to ride 8 days of these trails back-to-back. Can think of much better epic ways to spend my hard earned cash to be honest, but i will NEVER say no to a free entry though.

Ewww…the mechanic bites his nails 🥴

Ladies & Bicycles just got way out of hand 😔

Mine’s been the same as well since joining in 2008 other than Matt reaching out to me asking if they may remove the ® ™ trademarks at the end as it’s giving them a bit of a headache on upgrading “The HUB”.

So who wears the rainbow jersey at World Cup XCO between TP and AH? edit: spelling

Where can we watch the race replay?

This made me giggle

Could not find a discussion regarding these wheels so here it is. What do you think?

How many laps is this race?

Interesting to see this guy standing in the road when Vingegaard passes him…
