  1. According to my sources the Scalpel 2 comes with a Sid Select + (120mm) (aka not a Lefty) and will be available countrywide from Thursday 😊
  2. Elite start list for those following the sharp end. Good luck to everyone riding in that heat! UCI Riders Attakwas 2024.pdf
  3. Entries are closed, and there are no substitutions unfortunately. It's best to contact the organisers directly for the most accurate and up to date info 😊
  4. Looks like it is a go, entries are closing on Wednesday: https://bikehub.co.za/news/entries-close-soon-for-the-inaugural-jar-from-dirt-gravel-ride-2/
  5. It's close to my folks, and the riding out there is awe-inspiring, so I'm hoping to give it a go and will report back.
  6. I just checked with Dryland Events, apparently it's teams only from 2024
  7. They also added it to the Events Calendar here, which is how I found out about it: https://bikehub.co.za/events/races/view/586/road-to-desolation
  8. There is also this that I put together annually - https://bikehub.co.za/news/2023-gravel-race-calendar-r8519/ We rely on events organisers to be proactive and list their events in the Events Calendar (it's free), and I use that as a guideline for the article, there are events that have come up subsequently that need to be added
  9. I can't find the exact value in CHF now, but it was about R95k/ team. I think they are able to get great deals on Ski hotels in the summer when the towns are empty: https://www.epic-series.com/swissepic-riders-package Still a huge amount of cash, but compares favourably with Cape Epic in terms of value!
  10. Aside from the entry: 2 nights Accommodation R2k/ night including breakfast Flights R20k Trains etc. R3k So say R30k all-in. I made the hotel breakfasts go pretty far and didn't dive into the wine (or anything else- prices are pretty wild!)
  11. It was! The level of riding really impressed me, I felt like a small fish in a big pond in those mountains. It was also so cool to see Kim and Vera smashing the ladies field. With no team support either!
  12. Hey guys, feel free to add this to the events calendar 😊: https://bikehub.co.za/events

  14. I'm trying to get organisers to list their events in our events calendar, so if anyone has contact details for these events please ping me 😊
  15. Clint is a gem! He serviced our bikes at Epic this year, and even in the most horrific conditions imaginable he always had a smile on his face!
  16. Thanks so much! My word it is tough. Not an easy ride- that is for sure But an incredible experience! Fingers crossed the last two days go smoothly.
  17. Awesome, those rollers are unforgiving! But a spectacular ride
  18. This is the standard "Lollipop" - about 50km from Kenton (I ride from Bushmans River), and a loop through Alexandria if you are looking for a longer ride Game_ride_.gpx Morning_Ride (1).gpx
  19. I'd recommend doing at least one or two single day races with similar elevation and distance to the stages you'll be doing, just so you can get an idea of pacing and practice eating and drinking regularly while on the move
  20. They're having some trouble with their new registration platform. I'll let you know as soon as it's up and running
  21. Please add it to the calendar, and I'll include in the article 😊
  22. Thank you! Do you have organiser details or a website I can check?
  23. Please add it to the calendar: https://bikehub.co.za/events/create/440 I'll update the article 😊
