Signal Hill

ChrisF, not sure I have done much of these trails. Can they be done on a gravel bike, like this one, see photos...

Done, purchased the full package. #insupport

Haha, they got me good twice, both times in Conties, at different spots. I look at them with new eyes now when I see the on the tracks...

Early morning out and about, Campsbay for coffee, and back to work...

The Beast, our trails, and coffee... always coffee...

I remember the days when this was sold out in hours. It just shows you, if you do not change and adopt your business model with changing times you will go out of business, sometimes slowly, sometimes over night, but it will happen. Adapt of die... This will be a good real-life study in Marketing studies going forward. What, how, when, and why did it go pear shaped.

CrisF, how is the fit i.e. did you need to change from your regular size, and if so, did you go up a size or down?

If I do it (The Race) next year, I will most definitely do it with this group and do the full entry/donation. Currently getting my family onboard to support.... #justdoit #lekkermanlekker

Sunrise on our trails with Beast.

You greet other riders?

Ride alone, 99% of the time. Have with me an Evac24 GPS SOS button that I can activate and talk over. Pretty neat and of use if you get separated from your phone. If I activate my wife gets a message and can phone me on the device, and a 24-hour response centre makes contact and sent out to my GPS coordinates the required response team. Pretty cool...

What is your Instagram name?

I am going for longer - more value for money and excuse for being slower. That is my story and I am sticking to it...

You know your board is valid until end of Jan 24, right? #justsaying 🙃

Watched it live on FB. Wow, the man did not look tired at all, the trophy did seem a bit heavy 🤣. I think this is history in the making. Like the announcer said, he did faster than what they travelled down by car... #emotionoverflow

Toyota Cadence had a very nice race overview last night. Got me me wanna do it again... 2024?

Yip, and he can use the R400 Fox shock as a weapon, and we can all meet afterwards at Cycling Friends to have coffee with ND... 🤐

An Africa Sunrise on Saturday (Hardtail) and Sunday (Dual Sus) morning. Priceless...

If I read this announcement and think back to some of the feedback provided it is refreshing to see that somebody took note of the feedback and tried the utmost to close the gaps and move onward and forward. No excuses, just on the chin, fix it and onward! I have no doubt that this will increase the numbers... 🙂 Be prepared 🙂

It was a dark night...

Haha, that was nearly me, but sanity prevailed on my side...

Two wolf spiders?! Like really? F*ckit, I would have been out of there faster than you could say "two wolf spiders" and would have probably demolished half the tent city during my seedy departure, never to be seen again at the W2W's.

Yip, was on the bike path myself. Same, same - still looks like the cables are being replaced for the lights, which we do not need now, as the winter sun is nomore... Really? 🙃
