  1. 😩😩😩
  2. What’s the Woodstock situation like currently? Safer yet?
  3. We headed back from Apollo to the main road which is about 11km. From there we turned up towards Tankwa River Logde (direction Ouberg Pass) - Took a left to Ceres - through the Park to Da Doer Padstal, then onto the R355 back to padstal. Total distance = 125km.
  4. We did a 2 day ride this past weekend. started at Bike X-Cape 10km from the Padstal. 90km to Apollo de Karoo. The heat got really bad, but the cool pool and beer made up for it. Day 2 was 125km back. Slashed my tyre in the park, ice cold Cole at da Doer and then slapped the last 50km back with a tail wind. There’s plenty of options if you plan ahead. Be prepared with spares and water and you should be good
  5. I’m sure the impact is not as big as I want to make it, but surely this impacts small businesses as well. All the cyclists visiting coffee shops and restaurants in Town should in principle be less which inadvertently impacts business.
  6. This is so frustrating. Got my wife into cycling this year and our early morning trips to Ciovita and Camps Bay for a coffee is a favourite. Just not worth putting her in danger so hope they take action soon. I can see myself watching a story about this on Carte Blanche.
  7. Speak slowly so I can understand please. If I fly to the UK, buy a bike and bring it back with me - will I still have to pay the taxes and duties?
  8. Missed this. See it is close to me, so might just go check it out
  9. Saw that this morning. Sad
  10. 500 Euros to import. Madness
  11. I now have a new favourite - Kona Sutra SE. comes standard with racks and a Brooks Saddle. not badly priced, but shipping is outrages. Will have to make another plan
  12. Would love to see your bike and setup when done
  13. Cycling is such an irrational thing. Do I really need a touring bike - probably not. Do I want one. Hell yes!! I start dreaming about quitting my job and riding around the world. I try not to fuel my fire and then stumble upon photos of the Rondo Mutt ST Or I watch documentaries like this…. https://youtu.be/caCM58F3yHA?si=JCoyNOchua8bPTvc
  14. Not sure why my replies aren’t showing. Wanted to sat this is a big tip which I would not have considered when buying a bike.
  15. I am no touring boffin (yet) but the answer might be steel vs aluminium- carrying capacity. obviously there would be other technical things, but maybe the experts can help.
