Bike Hub's gravel aficionado does not identify as a gent but she is busy considering whether to do one for 2025. Stay tuned.

SHIFT + ENTER creates a new line. It's the common convention for most chat apps. But I do get that it can be confusing.

The land is private. Previously, the owners were content with a few cyclists riding there with their permission, but an influx of unauthorised cyclists led to a blanket closure of the road to all cyclists. Bike Hub removed the article about the route after the landowners informed us of this.

The season is already getting heated 🔥

Matt 😆 #7 was doing things in July, if that counts as active?

That's the Classifieds profile. Check your forum profile: https://forum.bikehub.co.za/profile/1372-frosty/

If you look at the URL on your forum profile page. The number before your username at the end. That is probably the number. https://forum.bikehub.co.za/profile/50-eddy/ So 50 in your case. 62607 before me (on this account anyway 🥷).

Thanks for the suggestion. I clicked something to make the topic "Featured". Let's see where it shows 😄

"Of course, there are a lot of ifs. If I would stand up a little bit earlier, if I would jump on the bike a little bit earlier, if I would win in Liège, if yesterday I had attacked a little bit earlier. There are so many ifs, but you can’t buy anything from ifs. I can think very long about that, but it only makes me sad. I think the way I raced today, I can be proud of that.” ~ Demi Vollering

Just received an amazing donation of much needed parts from Flip! Including cranksets, chainrings, bottom brackets, derailleurs, loads of tyres, bar tape, shoes, and even a set of Powertap pedals. A reminder: I'm handing over this stuff on Tuesday. So if you'd like to get in on the action in time, please let me know soonest.

Chaps, you clearly only pretend to know about bikes because you insist on looking at the wrong ones. It's pretty obvious that the new alloy Checkpoint is the one Trek made for the price whingers (even if you have to wait 5 years for it show up in the Classifieds). Save R215,000, bargain!

Awesome! Message sent.

So far I've managed to gather the following between @Jewbacca, @Matt, and myself. And @Kylie has some more incoming over the weekend. If anyone else has some stuff to add, please pop me a DM. I'm in the Southern Suburbs but maybe @Zebra will accept some stuff in Paarden Eiland, if you're more that side. We're meeting Kim this coming Tuesday.
