  1. Was really impressed how the event was run. Very good traffic marshalling and free booze lol My standard as always happened. Stage 1 - 2 technical and a puncture stage 2 - rear hub gave trouble and became unrideable and had to take a spare wheel (will take a penalty for it) that was a junior restricted gearing and chased back to the 3rd group on the road where my gf fell back to to wait for me. Me over the bike picture, lyk of ek n drol uit druk stage 3 - no issues finally but just had a chilled ride further. Left the racing for the strong boys and girls stage 4 - the previous day gin took a bit of a toll not to mention that I only discovered yesterday a small ligament torn in my ankle that I thought was just a sprained ankle that happen on the day before the race by doing rope skipping in a school event well done to all that did the race. As always great fun and commendatory in the event. but those e-bikes made us all look like beginners on the climbs
  2. that's all up to you. Start and stop every stage start, stop and save after every stage remember if you use auto pause if will start recording when you free wheel and walk with your bike between the different stages
  3. I had in a 12 week cycle only 1 diamond and you can't just use 1. So it had to expire and the following run of rewards you will get your normal reward if you achieve your goal and they give you n another play. A bit of a stupid rule but that's how they do it as I got 25 points for a diamond. Well at least I got now 2 diamonds in a row, lets hope I can get to 5 then Amashova or Argus here we come.
  4. WTF is this crazy clip. Even an Nigeria karate atty can make a better video!!!!!!!
  5. I have my disagreements on your viewpoints on the whole vegan thing and made believe that everesting is easy no matter what you said in point 3. But that does not chance the fact that you tried and will go for it again. I will respect that.
  6. I does not matter if you are stronger in the group or not. You have to abide by the rules. Don't break the rules as the only way of dropping the other guys in the group. That just makes you an idiot, well a word that starts with a D is more appropriate. We see it even in training rides where guys will ride in such a way to hide from the wind and even if it means to push a girl into the wind. Dgas, don't worry. I'm sure that most will do it even for the ones that say it's wrong, not pointing to this thread itself but more in general.
  7. just make contact with ASG, they might help you
  8. there was an extension to 22 April but yesterday was also to late. Just email of fb message the organizers and find out if they will have line entries
  9. think more a Land Rover to get through the possible pothole section that can easily be created by the rain experienced the past weekend when the trucks, etc use the roads especially to Heidelberg and heading back
  10. damn was auto censor by admin.
  11. lol think you do get warned. I have no warnings as yet but die ****** Vegans maak my gat lam
  12. The best bet is to look on strava with the segments to see which ones are riden the most Def the road up to Spitzkop is good Long Tom Pass is also good I know the guys ride alot to Graskop van Sabie site. Nice Pancakes as a reward in Graskop Just stay of the road from Sabie to Hazyview. I drove a year ago and that road and the road conditions is bad. Would love to cycle up from Hazycview site but road is bad
  13. that's one amazing climb. Just hard on breaking for an everest attempt but they did it
  14. yes agree for all 12 to be finish and receive a special medal for team work as this is what these type of race dynamics is about. Whaha then everybody must ride my speed and they push me up the freaking mountain hopefully we will also be back next year and race in the mix cat again
  15. it was actually aired on SABC morning show. His wife did it with him and Kevin Benkenstein also did it with them but he did not complete it
  16. Then do it if it is not hard. It's a slap in the face for any other person that successfully completed an Everest attempt as it is not easy at all like you said!!! We know you are a very strong cyclist , but don't take anything away from somebody that did complete it or attempting it to do it to say it's not that hard. It's a huge achievement and they are on the hall of fame to be respected no matter how long they took. The longer actually is a better achievement in my eyes
  17. seems like more like the hill bliksemed him already with that lip of him Homework needed to have been done before running your big mouth but that is typical from the vegan lifestyle
  18. here you guys talk about doing everisting. I thought of doing it again but to think of it now. Not the hell again (for the time being) Well guy by the name of Alex actually going to do an awesome climb. Kowyns pass, think it might get dangerous with the trucks etc using it but will be an awesome climb
  19. lol don't have to worry about that. Skipping it this year.
  20. I think it's to cut down on risk as teams fly in into the feeding zone to get bottles and go again. So def better for the safety around it. As with last year it also gives the ladies more time to go for a nature break as there where no toilets for the ladies in the fast mix teams and they went behind cars with doors open and towels hold around them, us men are easy we just sling it out and do it.
  21. will see how it goes but we not going into the race with any expectations. Must bigger stuff more me that is important.
  22. just don't drop down to his level We will always enjoy our braai and proper boere breakfast in the mornings
  23. Great. Onthou jy mag my teen bulte op stoot, ek is die weak link
  24. ry saam wie?
  25. agree he is a monster lol just hope his vegan ways can help him achieve it
