one tonner only had index of 2 last year due to heat 35+ Celsius. Normally lower than that and less than 1.2 previously. I think Stellenbosch cycle Tour is also good for seeding

Shared by friend: it was Philip Leroux, Kirstenbosch Philip. Now at Christian Barnard hospital. We were going down Suikerbosie doing about 70 km . Philip had his head down . Then the traffic light half way down went red Phillip was to close to the red traffic light and I think he tried to break but too late . I was about 100 meters behind. Philip collided side on to Toyota Land Cruiser . The driver had the green light and came out from the left side. Unfortunately the driver could not see any cyclist coming down as there is a large hedge in the way . Driver stopped on the opposite side of the road in shock . I personally think that most of us cyclists do go down at great speed down that hill , and when the red traffic light comes on . One does not have enough traction and cannot stop that quick. Please pass the message to all to take it easy and be aware of the cars coming out from the left as they cannot see the cyclist from the left coming down . Let’s all pray that. Philip will be ok . Has broken ribs puncture lungs and facial injuries.

Wow!! those cross winds were something else... Hope one tonner has less wind

RIP fellow cyclist... A tragedy indeed.. Randall, was a friend and Colleague of mine and I had a similar reaction. But just to give all hope out there that sometimes there is justice, not that it brings back anyone but does provide some closure. Not Sure if this was widely Publicized but the driver that killed Randall was found guilty and jailed. See note below from the police officer involved.

Sagan pushes lead out to 69 seconds with 24km to go.... Go Sagan!

Woman's coverage was not too bad at all. Followed the leaders with Annika and Kate. Who Incidently blew the field apart more than a minute over 20km. EBike coverage was ON DSTV also

Awesome idea and great concept. Good luck. Will give you a shout if ever I am In the area

Some thoughts from a relative rookie DC rider but have completed 2 DC's one In 8hr in 2016 and the the other 6:49 (2017). Both years we finished with all 12. Last year we struggled to find female riders to join as a mixed team despite trying hard. Our team consisted of riders with CTCT time of between 3:02 and 3:30. We found that there are not many ladies willing to commit to the training schedule over 12 - 16 weeks. Required for sub 7hrs. They were either already in pro am type teams (sub 6 DC) or only willing to do social 8hrs or more. So it may be challenge finding 12 ladies for the team of a 7hr DC who are not already committed elsewhere.

Apologies it is Howard Grotts riding with Kulhavy

I think he is riding with songo. Info with Jaroslav kulhavy

Can't wait to see what Gaze does in the Epic

Not bad just the last 7km is uphill :-) and the last km is 7-10% gradient Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Agreed... recovering from setbacks builds character and makes us stronger. @Shell Belle stay strong and remain positive.. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

That's because the Savages were not riding fast enough in $ Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Yep my seeding also increased from G to F.. New index 24.... But still think Beta is like a black magic box and calculated by wizards Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
