For MTB'ers spoke to some mates who have ridden the trails in the area, barring any rain overnight it should be nice and dry but quite chilly if this weather holds.

JOHANNESBURG - Brand Director for Castle Lager and Castle Free Vaughan Croeser says the new non-alcoholic Castle Free tastes exactly the same as the alcoholic beer. He says the same ingredients were used in the Castle Free. He says there is a quite a market for low/no alcohol beer. He says in the South African context, South African Breweries wants to encourage moderate drinking and hopefully build a market for alcohol-free beer. http://ewn.co.za/2017/10/27/listen-no-hangover-sab-introduces-alcohol-free-lager

Registration done and dusted, nice when one of the collection points is on your doorstep. Even got a Cyclelab R50 balloon pop discount on a purchase.

Hi Gerald, this is not about whether one can pick up numbers on race day (although most do cater for this. I've done RFS, Emperors, R4V, Midvaal and Meals on Wheels all which as a pre entry open seeded you could collect on race day) but about the the collection communication, the Cyclevent's and the SMS do not make mention of it, only your club website and here on the Hub is it mentioned. I belong to a number of whattsapp groups where this question keeps popping up.

With the Lions out I will supporting Sharks. Go Sharks

It's confusing really, the cyclevents website and the SMS do not include Sunday, only on the Germistonwheeler site, does it mention, excluding CSA lic, that you can collect Sunday.

They are much too busy standing around chatting, drinking coffee and eating rusks on race day to do such a trifle thing.

The Roc D' Azur MTB event held in France and shown on SS recently have a separate race for ebikes. According to the commentator bike specialty stores claim 80% of their customer inquiries are for ebikes. http://www.rocazur.com/en/races/electric

Carnical city

PPA are largely WP based, with small representation in Bloemfontein, they at least made an effort. Where are the CSA main and CSA Gauteng why is there not the same sort of outrage from them.

Don't judge a book by its cover OR The clothes maketh the man.

As an ex GW i can say, been there done that got the tarred shirt.

Cool, last year it went down to NL so there should still be batches after me I can wheelsuck from.

Must be a strong field of riders riding or batches are smaller, despite two sub 3 races this year i'm in F group.

Bulls vs Sharks/Lions vs WP in semi's

Entered already, leave nothing to chance.

Rode one round the parking lot at my LBS this weekend, quite enjoyed it. The shop owner claims he has had a number of enquiries after them.

No collection on race day ? Number Collection:Cycle Lab Lynnwood, Pretoria; Wednesday 25 October 2017, from 09:00 - 17:00 OR Cycle Lab, Fourways Thursday 26 October 2017, from 09:00 - 17:00 OR Cycle Lab Boksburg; Friday 27 October 2017, from 09:00 - 17:00 OR At the Venue, Carnival City; Saturday 28 October 2017, from 08:00 - 14:00

I was impressed how Kitshoff played, gave it his all. Allende was poor, his attempt to kick out to bring the first half to an end while the Boks were down only for the AB's to keep it live and for the rest of his game did nor really perform ending with his been sent off with red card with a late tackle. After last weeks poor skipper and leadership Etsebeth made amends and really stepped up. AB's made plenty of mistakes but overall and despite the loss for me the Boks were the better team.

Game on

Finally open seeding based on weight to level the playing fields

The map does show that we had to go straight for a few kms then turn and come back but the marshals at this point shouted for us to turn right. Looking at Strava I cannot find anyone who did the extra bit.

There was no turn around, it was a loop
