I was right behind you - it was spectacular! Made my mind up to wade across, glad you're ok, as it looked sore!

Kudos to those looking after these trails. First time I rode them was this September, on a trip up from PE. Got hopelessly lost first time out, and 2 hours turned into 4, but went back two days later to enjoy the trails again, and got less lost. Ribbok extended must be one of the finest sections of single track I have done, anywhere.

I heard Tulbach is part of it.

Anyone knew if they make a road frame with disc brake compatibility?

How much later in the year? Might be worth waiting for, even at R 7500.......

Thanks, I appreciate the info

We sold Vovo, effective 1 August. Now I get to make my own coffee every morning , that is when my daughter gives me a chance to make it!

Its the manual - a nightmare to get the dose correctly for a single dose.

I am currently using a Mazzer Super Jolly for home use, which is overkill combined with a lot of wasted beans. Who can recommend a good home grinder at a reasonable price? I had a Mahlkonigg Vario, but it didn't last. Being electronic, it was too expensive to repair, hence the spare shop grinder being used at home.

Awesome! Hoping for a better route.....!

Only saw your post now.....I've entered again....pain already forgotten!!! "only " 2 ks....but all uphill, stop start stuff...sandy...frustrating!

I won't be able to do the race. I have booked accomodation for Friday and Saturday nights for 4 people, I also have restaurant reservations I will have to cancel. If anyone is interested please give me a call. 083 400 3838 https://www.booking.com/hotel/za/prince-albert-country-stay.en-gb.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAso-wFCGnByaW5jZS1hbGJlcnQtY291bnRyeS1zdGF5SDNiBW5vcmVmaPsBiAEBmAEuuAEHyAEN2AEB6AEB-AEDkgIBeagCAw;sid=877d6e08a383da50d9ccc152e11b4f6b;dcid=4;dist=0&from_pretrip=1&sb_price_type=total&type=tota

I think that if you can handle technical climbs with a 32, this race with gravel climbs should be fine on a 34. On the other hand, with 160/2800 I can't see anyone but the pros setting off at race pace, so maybe a 32 will be fine anyway. I'm thinking the race must be a bit easier than the Atta which has similar climbing, pushing on 5 hills (for me). The extra 40 ks can't be too much of an issue with it being on easier riding terrain.
