Some legend photo’s not to be repeated again. Private collection from a family that is one of the pioneers for raisin and table grape production in our region.

Spend a family day between Marchand and Augrabies. The water level is high, but no flooding risk. Enjoy the fall much more at this hight than flooding. Disappointed that all of the viewpoints is not yet repaired.

It is a busy weekend for our region 😃. Had 120mm of rain yesterday! It is the Marchand Festival this weekend and the Klipspringer Challenge hosted inside Augrabies National Park. The event takes place on the hiking trial, Klipspringer(small Antelope), they still taking entries.

He may have been on the RCR-F bike in a blacked-out version to safe weight but have the areo benefit. Just my assumption from the vast headset tube.

Mario Do you come through Upington? Dirk at Cycle City can help or in Kakamas you can see if you can get hold of Gerhard Oberholzer. What groupset is on the bike? How many kilometers have the groupset done? Perhaps post a picture of the chain and cassette.

@J Wakefieldappreciate your time and feedback! Personally have pride in knowing there is South African`s behind all these achievements. Ps. New TT bike for Remco on the cards🤐

A small trick/hack that our eldest done on the bikes of the younger one, placed a small colourfull sticker om the handlebar for the rear brake. No OTB’s and easy to give instruction when we are all out on the bikes. How strange it may sound, stressfull managing all three at different speeds and skill and traffic.

Can only agree with you. What is the chance of Modern Adventure getting an invite for Vuelta 2027? We do have @J Wakefieldnot sure how his calendar look. Was thinking the other day, SA local cycling media can do a bit more and celebrate the South Africans that is industry leaders in cycling, there was an article in Escape few weeks back on both John and Mike, separate articles.

I`m with @bleedToWinour eldest son is on a 24 inch and he is 8 years old, turning 9 in June. Been eyeing him and was thinking he can comfortable ride a 26inch and we are average hight. The two 5 year olds are on 20 inch and the one is already eye that 24inch red Titan.

Met up with Riaan Strauss over the weekend. Trans Augrabies is a real family weekend away event, his recommendation is to stay/camp in Augrabies National Park! Slight high-jack, but contributing to the whole family away weekend. The Northern Cape Schools Cycling is hosting their event 3 in Marchand on the Saterday, 13 June 2026. Our Schools events are very small in comparison with WC, the whole day entry list is less than one age cat. There are now events for the children and the light event are also recommended for children. PS. we did look at the option to host in Augrabies as part of Trans Augrabies, track layout just did not work out. The event is on a farm, track build for his children, which are racing WC league and doing great. I`m personally looking forward to track.

Looks like a new S500 series replacement.😉 PS. I`m still on 10 speed XO from 2014.

How was today?

It is very nice, good quality product! a Friend outfitted his outdoor shop with Wallock, unfortunately not within my means to outfit my garage to fit bikes, kayak and fishing rods. Did a DIY(Bernhard the handyman) job to get the kayak of the ground.

No, not @Patchelicious. Like my spanish friends will say, Gaupo. @Patchelicious is a great sport and came through on a lost bet. Will never forget his kindness. Great that you are back in SA.

You are in great shape! Well done on your ride.

Robert the dates are the 14 and 15 June, which is a Sunday and Monday. The 16 June is a public holiday, making this event possible with only taking one days leave. Travel on the Saturday, event on the 14 - 15 June and travel back on the public holiday. Living in Upington, had my fair share of traveling on the Saturday, race Sunday morning and driving back the Sunday afternoon. Going to use that excuse why I no longer race😉 Just to add, flights to Upington has never been cheap, now...ridiculous, R6K one way.

@ChrisFgister weer reen gehad met nog voorspel vir Saterdag. As dit so aangaan, gaan Riaan en span hul hande vol he om die roetes oop te maak, alternatiewelik moet hulle n kennisgewing uitstuur vir siwwe vir julle radiators😝

Age…its hollywood! Many years ago in a Mazda Drifter add shot in Onseepkans, was only the lower leg that was shot on camera. Living in the Benede Oranje where a 100km roundtrip gains 60m I do not know cyclist with the skill criteria that is required. When the add went up, first thoughts were Headshot match Casting call and then the skill requirement was confirmation. If your that young, would be great to tell your grandchildren, pops were in a add.

@Headshot time to show your skills.

Freeze at 22sec!

Time fly’s. Bikes get passed along and now moving to other families.

According to PCS the Giro is on the calander for Alan.

@ChrisFit`s been awhile since I last visited Dundi, it was in the days of my bikes being worth more than my car and having to impress the ladies. Home - Dundi Lodge Was our 10th anniversary last year, was thinking to go to Tutwa, the wife, jy mors nie so met geld nie! Tutwa Desert Lodge | Luxury Kalahari Safari & Desert Accommodation I have not given up on staying at Tutwa! Our region also caters for the more decerning cyclist/traveller, was not at any of these to give a recommendation and it is a bit of a travel from Augrabies Luxury Safari Accommodation | Tswalu Kalahari Reserve Restaurant Klein JAN - Tswalu Kalahari | Private Game Reserve Believe me, tannie Keppie se kos sal net so goed afgaan! If there is any Hubbers with questions, please reach out. Come and ride our regional event.
