Stolen: Fondriest TF2 1.0 2014 When: 31 March 2019 Where: Stellenbosch, Western Cape The bike was stolen from a locked Thule bike rack outside the restaurant. The guard in the vicinity said that the criminal was running in the direction of Kayamandi. Rode the PPA sportive. Absolutely gutted, any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply! Planning on doing it solo, a big part of it all is to show what is possible on a bike for a normal person, but hopefully with as many people as possible joining for whatever bits they can along the way. So it would be so great if you could join for a few km's! I will ride a cyclocross bike that will let me take some dirt roads where possible but avoiding any serious off road stuff. I agree that November is going to be SERIOUSLY hot, but sometimes you can't keep pushing the planning for these sorts of things back. Any sooner will be, well, just too soon!

I need a whole lot of help please. At the beginning of November this year I am planning to ride (as fast as I can) across the width of South Africa in order to raise funds for Qhubeka. I would really appreciate any help regarding the route, weather or charity tips. This is the route i have planned so far: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/16299606

Looking at making a big upgrade for my bike and need some advice on my options; A cannondale supersix evo 105, Fondriest TF3 or TF2 with 105 I also don't know if the difference between the TF2 and TF3 is worth it, can anyone help please!
