Maybe just wait and see what happens and what they offer before getting angry over assumptions. I'm sure they are busy on the ground trying to figure out what to do and will get to the admin afterwards This sort of thing sucks for everyone, but I am certain they will do their best to not just screw everyone where they can

How is it looking up there currently? The weather set in here HARD. If I didn't have a commitment later I wouldn't leave the house

Some of the replies to this concept are brilliant and others are comical. The crowd buying a CSA license want more to race for.... CSA try create a series that connects existing races people do already to create a competitive type league.... Cyclists: Make me want to do this! CSA: We can't at this stage, we simply don't have the budget unless this is supported Cyclists: Well then this is dumb and will never work (Will do at least 2 of the races anyway) Other cyclists: Grow cycling! But also only grow it for Elites.... the existing 74 elites... but also grow it and give me prizes.... but also stop slow people from financing and supporting it because they suck and will hinder the elites. Also stop people who train indoors from doing it because they are super fast but they suck in groups, so stop them from joining and learning how to not suck. They aren't welcome... But also make cycling more appealing and grow it, but not to them. Only to people we approve of. Like Elites! hahahahahahahahaha Cycling Gatekeepers unite!

shooowaaa bru.... Hout Bay is laaaaank far 😝

ha! To be fair, I'm a Muizenberg deep south yokel. I know little of what goes on in the real world

I do not.... I try to drive as little as possible to be honest. Cars are dumb and should be treated like cigarettes. 😜 Is there a Ford/Motoring joke/stereotype that I am missing?

This... The proven MO. Most often if you do a google lense or image origin search you will find it's been lifted from a legit advert somewhere BUT, the main thing is to remember that If it looks to good to be true, it usually is. Just leave it alone

IMHO a watch strap is a disposable consumable. I've not had one from Garmin, Suunto or swatch in the family last more than a few months without the little catch things breaking or the rubber giving out between the holes. I tried one of those Fabric ones from Garmin and it gave me a rash. Getting a warranty replacement on something that could very well wear quickly/break due to how the item is used is top notch in my books. Well done to Forza

You, Waldo and I bought ALL the food from the Velddrif petrol station!

I'd say the Mast for 3 days, purely because it is lame but difficult. Doing that 3 days in a row is just not going to be fun at all. There is nothing desirable about that climb other than looking for a hill to climb. So for me, I doubt I would ever actually manage to motivate myself to ride up to the mast 3 days in a row. I'd land up going right at the saddle to do bridle path and trail loops on day 2 and simply just not even bother to get on my bike on day 3. The thought of doing such an unimaginative ride on repeat makes me want to poke holes in my own MTB tires so i didn't have to endure it

I died.... I threw a bag of peanuts, 2 gels and an expired energy bar in my pockets expecting to get some stuff along the way.... I got a banana and some water at 130 ish km but nothing after that. I landed up stopping at the cafe 15km from the finish to buy a coke, a pie and a bar one. As someone with very few road bike races under my belt, I was not sure what I expected, but realised it was definitely not something one could do easily without support. My S.O. has spent WAY too much time waiting for me to get home from stupid races in dumb places, so she is disinterested. I asked her tonight if she wanted to come to Langebaan for the weekend and she replied 'no thank you. Driving around with a 4 year old to give you food and juice in a 'race' you are going to suck at is not my idea of a weekend away'.... I'd hate for her to tell me how she really feels.....

More importantly, when will you get over your PTSD and let us ride down Spaanschemat road again?

I went in the slow batch break. 2 of us out front for 150km. There were at least 500 deaths between there and the end.

Cupcake.... All I can think of is the vicious spread of pink eye and you guys giving each other morning fart Cupcakes while playfully putting on your jimjams

I think the damage was done last year after all your mechanicals/being unable to successfully fix a flat........ 😝 (I recall you had issues, not actually sure I remember correctly what they were)

I'm thinking of doing it again.... It's flat and rolling. You will be fine. I will definitely take food and drink this time. I bonked harder than Borris Becker in a closet last year after running out of food/fuel at about 120km

Dunno..... I would give up any celebrations of any sort to be with my wife while she has my baby every single day of every single week For me, that feeling/experience is incomparable

Does anyone have an old 27.2mm seatpost? It can be broken/not working, I just need the tube as an extension to make my current 400mm long one longer!

I see poor Shannon got bust for getting stoned after getting Judo chopped in the head.... I know a lot of people who would be on that list out of competition with THC in their systems!

Top be fair, that thread deserved to be shut down. It was basically page 3 of the Sun with live smutty comments. Stoked Imogen could come back from a head on crash with a car. Most people don't live to tell the tale never mind get back to world tour levels.

2 out of 3 already.... These two are enough? I reckon it's cool. They win bike races, not just drone control. Classics, Monuments, Stages.... They throw in their lot and win. I dig the way they race. Fitting after a fair few years of not quite getting over the line and just before their sponsor deal with Jumbo runs it's course

hahahahaha I've been purposefully ignoring that advert since it went up. I want that bike lots

Being a November kid, it's no wonder I can hardly get out of bed in the morning!

Not if the fans/cars block the road!
