No thread/event post for 2026? 🤔

Weather on Sunday looks good, but might be some rain early on Saturday. 👀

Thanks! I don't see that on the event page: https://www.entryninja.com/events/83081-filthy-fondo-malmesbury 🙈

Number Collection: From 06h30 on the morning of 12th April 2026 at Malmesbury Showgrounds

R.I.P. 😭

Absolute knobhead.

R398 and I'll inflate your tires "for free" 🤪

This makes my blood boil. 😡

Agreed. Especially when wearing bike shop kit *cough* John O'Connor Cycles *cough*

That wind was tough (lack of fitness/training didn't help) compared to last year. 😩 Looks like about 545 sub 3s this year vs 963 last year, which makes me feel a bit better. 😅

If I could've paid to have my number couriered to me, I would have. Almost 3 hours spent driving to and from Cape Town today. 😱 Excluding the (pointless to me) expo where you're forced to walk the entire thing. Hoping to spend less time cycling on Sunday. 😜

Agreed – shocking, considering the same happened to me outside Cloetesville in September last year. And, yesterday I actually went out for a ride on the road by myself (first time since I was mugged and bike-jacked), for some CTCT final bike checks. 😠 I was on the opposite side of the road, though, about 2 hours later, oblivious to the above. 😱 And there I was thinking how "safe" it felt heading towards Somerset West from Stellenbosch and how much I missed going out for rides on my own. From the WA group: "Blocked him in the yellow line with a knife, so he couldn't swerve out because of traffic."

😪 Shared with permission from a local club WhatsApp group: "Good evening! Yet another heads-up to be careful out there. One of my friends got robbed of his Cannondale gravel bike this morning at 07:30 on the R44 opposite Val de Vine. He is ok, thankfully! It is a grey Lab 71 bicycle. I'll forward a picture of the frame, just in case something pops up somewhere." That's just outside of Stellenbosch, heading towards Somerset West. https://maps.app.goo.gl/isBsxZs6R5pS6kdd7

Holy ****, this is ridiculous. Taxpayers really getting it from both ends.

I must say that I don't hate the large font as much as I would have a few years ago. 👀
