    Ah!! Ya - it's insane! Feel like a bird riding out! 🤣

    When the SE is pumping, holding 10km/h on that route back is a solid work out! Haha

    Fully understand, yes I’m looking to meet a few to get my ass up! Unfortunately 6am is about as late possible with traffic & getting back to work etc, but could do 6:30. Windy mornings are interesting- one way is like lightning, other way is a long climb! 🙂

    I've just moved to Westbeach & looking for a morning group ride to Melkbos (or Koeberg) & back. This ride would be week days on a MTB. My pace the is about 25km/h, depending on wind. Weekends would be in different, Tygerberg trails. Time would be around 6am. Summer mornings are perfect!

    Don't worry about carbon - in my experiance it is much stronger and longer lasting then Alu. It also doesn't degenerate with age, like Alu or steel does. It is lighter and soaks up small vibrations. The downside is that if you hit the deck and the frame does crack, you throw it away - one crack and its stuffed, so make sure it is insured. It just always amazes me how these damn bike shop sell the wrong kit just to make a sale!! Drives me crazy - you should drop the name!! Hope that helps...
