I was about to suggest boxing and shipping. I have made use of Triptych in the past, and have been very happy. You just need to box it yourself, they move it door to door. To give you an indication, last year in July I used them to ship my bike from Lynnwood Cyclery in Pretoria to their premises in Montagu Gardens, and they charged me R 610 one way. We were 2 people who sent our bikes together, so this may have been a better rate. Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Triptych, I'm just a happy customer who will recommend them any time.

I took my bike on Flysafair in November last year (JHB to CPT and back). On the Lite or Standard packages you first have to select the flight, then on a subsequent screen you will be able to add additional luggage and sports equipment. Think my bike box cost R 285 one way. Hope this help.

The venue for the Buffels Trailseeker is actually next door on the ARC grounds, tar road all the way to the parking area. But yes, with Buffels closed down now, there will be no more races there in the future. I was there yesterday and must agree, the numbers are definitely down from previous years. A quick look at the results: Marathon (70km) Yesterday - 356 finishers. 2019 - 712 finishers (held at Legends) Half Marathon (40km) Yesterday - 594 finishers. 2019 - 1035 finishers

Just a kudos to Bike-Addict. Placed my order on Thursday, and received my goods yesterday (Monday) morning in Pretoria. Luckily they had it in store. I dealt with Ivan, and all went smoothly. Really happy.

Wow, that look and sound great. @cat-i do you maybe know if they going to host it again this year?

Ahem, 95km downhill with 1685m ascent😝

Yes, going to be there for sure!

I just love my Speedsleev Ranger. It wraps very tight and don't have any rattles. https://www.cogentindustries.co.za/product/speedsleev-ranger/ Looks like stock availability is a problem though.

This guy, Jimmy Owen, advertised over 2yrs ago on Facebook in our MTB group. Not sure if he's still selling these. https://www.facebook.com/groups/134361270058168/permalink/1147183688775916/

Not a group ride, but go check out Holla Trails. About 7km inland from Ballito. Awesome bike park, with great trails. Highly recommended.

Jip, it fits nice and tight in the Speedsleev bag

Was indeed a very enjoyable ride. At no point did I feel unsafe, we were 4 friends cycling together though. That last 34km was just hectic in the heat, it really drained me. Will be back for sure!

Have done it last year, a really nice ride. Will look out for you on Saturday.

Great, I'm also AL, will look out for you. Thanks
