  1. And all sub 3’s except for 1 I think
  2. Nou weet ek wie Spinnekop is 😜
  3. Meiringspoort is as safe as the drivers are on the day. I have guided many groups of up to 60 riders through Meiringspoort since 2004 and never had a problem . Be visible and respectful towards the traffic and you should be OK. About 8 km out of De Rust direction Oudtshoorn is Oude Muragie road going towards Cango Caves . Very scenic . Stop at Derustica olive farm for coffee and snacks . Contact me when you get to Prince Albert I will give you pointers as to a nice route partly over private property Arno
  4. Done 22 tours between 1988 and 2025 . 2500 riders in 1988 . Lots of changes most of them good . Started in 5A this year having not ridden since 2020 . Was inspirational to see a lage number of riders around my age ( 77 next month ) to ride it unassisted . Taking it easy on a mountain bike and staying out of bunches I had a riding time of just under 5 hours . I am al for people who are injured or too weak due to illness or age to ride an E-bike . But the sight of an obese couple screaming past first on Chappies and again on Suikerbossie on their second or 3rd batteries is just not on . If you can not ride the route on one battery stay at home . Or get a bigger battery . Or ride the short route . As ChrisF has mentioned always a few who spoil it for the rest.
  5. Time to be proud off
  6. Saw a father and son in skeloton kit boy must also be around 10
  7. Switchbacksports in CT stocks a wide range of hangers
  8. Second this
  9. Previously watched non televised races on Tiz live cycling
  10. Never drop back .
  11. Addressing the heading of this topic. Checked now , I have been a Bikehub member for 10 years . Posted 108 for sale and wanted ads . Received 36 5 stars . Only once did I rate a seller 4 stars . Had some exceptional good buying and selling experiences during the last few months . Gently refused some lowballing offers . Happy member . O yes , my name is Arno Botha
  12. You will puncture if you don’t say Hi on Thursday
  13. Try Switchbacksports in Cape Town they stock a wide variety of hangers
  14. At 178 cm I am comfortable on my M Scalpel but on test ride on a customer’s Large I felt more comfortable. As stated above I think XL will be too big for you
  15. That is police business leaving the scene of an accident. Good having that footage

  18. I remember John Swanepoel of Swartberg Gran Fondo fame complaining about the huge fee payable to the UCI for his now non race.

  20. Thank you Chris . Change the heading to β€œ Pay it back β€œ πŸ˜„
  21. Just had a guy asking me to replace the bb on his mtb because it was making a noise . It was one of the headset bearings . Have had lots of wild goose chases after noises .
  22. Chris yes thanks . Pep to Pep can work and we have a Pudo locker at Spar whatever you prefer . The universal sign of moving from a funrider to a β€œreal β€œ cyclist amongst the young riders is moving from flats to Spd’s πŸ˜ŽπŸš΄β€β™€οΈ
