  1. Anyone feel like heading to Makro and getting me a new bike?
  2. I have a saddle bag and toptube bag on my roadie. Couldn't give a flying toss who doesn't like it. Tools and tube in the saddle bag, phone and snacks in the toptube bag.

    Absolutely. People very easily underestimate it as just another stage race, but the heat, dust, wind and loneliness catches a lot of people out. I've heard of so many people giving up less than 70km away from the finish line. Rather over-train and finish comfortably than under-train and struggle midway through. Stage 3 will kill you if you're not prepared and then you've not even hit the plot road behind Swakop with tired legs some 200 odd km away
  4. Nevermind, you are unable to change your country of residence
  5. Urgh, nevermind, it's on the very last page of checkout
  6. I do, but I am unable to go back (or don't know how) and change my profile
  7. I don't know if this has been discussed before, but why are international entries 1k? I am an SA citizen residing in Namibia, but I get charged the full grand. Add travel and accommodation to the entry fee and it's 1 x SA citizen that won't be able to take part
  8. With an office and house full of only women, this is the reason I cycle. Silence... No better place for solitude than along the Skeleton Coast
  9. It's rubbish, or way too small for my manly man hands, but convenient when travelling
  10. Vivoactive 3 to replace my original Vivoactive. Mostly for the HRM, but also because shiny Wanted a Fenix 3, but got a great deal on the VA3 brand new sealed
  11. Very misting morning along the lagoon and salt pans. I miss my MTB, but the roadie can get me pretty far as well
  12. Oh noes, just realised Michelle Vorster is her partner. A well respected local Namibian pro. Have had a few chats to her before. Hope she is clean...
  13. That spot over there looks like a great spot for a snap <drowns in mud>
  14. More solitude.... Edit: darnit, forum doesn't like panos
  15. Pretty brown, but I love this place. Just you, smell of the ocean on your right, smell of the Namib on your left and the occasional friendly cyclist passing by

    How's the training going guys? Hurt my coxis by moering off a ladder 3 weeks ago, been itching to get back on the bike. Last few kilos were rough, but I think I can get by with a few short rides weekdays without doing too much damage

    Solo is still a huge bucket list item, but I've not gotten much saddle time since 2016 Dash and would have set myself up for failure

    Team and entry sorted. Another 4 man this year, but at least getting a tougher stage....3

    Back in the saddle for this one, just need to find a team. Seems there isn't as much interest (at least locally) this year
