Rowan Vorster. Doubt people will know him. Multiple ironman competitor and has been riding the Switzerland mountain passes in preparation.

Ok cool. I may be biased but there may be a surprise. Not saying he will win but I think my brother in law will mix it up with the sharp end of the field

Is this the entire field?

My brother in law from Switzerland is coming over for this.

At this rate, you will end up with a 3 digit race number

I really admire your restraint. I would of been at his workshop long ago

Unbelievable

What he said

At least you still have your sense of humour

I would of lost it a longtime ago.

Ah man those slanted headers 👌

Strava premium nearly killed my love of cycling. Although I am a weekend warrior at best, I am competitive and I found myself chasing segments and stuff that I could never beat. Also chasing my own times.

The rubber buttons on my Lezyne Mega XL have collapsed/perished. Anyone have a unit that is not working?

Maybe I am old and grumpy, if you going to have a website, at least add the pricing. I do not have the inclination to ask for a quote. Just give me the price upfront. No price I just move along to the next online shop.

Which one did you go for? Please provide feedback as this will also work for my dual purpose motorcycle.

Pocket inflator, a gadget I never knew I needed 🤣

That closing scene of Harley Davidson and the Marlboro man is such a classic. Mind you even the opening scene with that Bon Jovi song playing is fantastic. Very corny movie but one of my favorites.

As someone once said, “Ego is the anaesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity”.

Been a few changes in my bike life. Any ride on the Rocket that is longer than 30 minutes and my lower back is killing me. My L5/S1 fusion from a few years back does not help I suppose. I have been wanting to get some type of dual purpose bike for the better sitting position and ability to do non technical gravel roads. Purchased a KLR650 with a 685cc big bore kit, reworked suspension and doohickey done. A bit rough cosmetically but a nice blank canvas. Coming from the rocket, I was a bit underwhelmed by its tar road performance but happy with it's off road performance. Well truth be told anything after a rocket is going to be underwhelming. A very nice WeeStrom 650 popped up on Wild Dogs forum and my hamster started the treadmill working 🤣. Long story short, my son in law is buying the KLR and I am getting the strom. Now I just need the rocket to sell.

What about a bag that attaches to the handlebars?

What lube would you advise?

My Giant Anthem has developed a irritating creak when pedaling. I have so far ruled out my old knees 😅 If I stand and pedal, no creaking which rules out pivot joints and bearings (I think). Also if I stand on the pedals and bounce up and down no creaking. The minute I sit the noise starts. I don't think the frame is cracked. So the question is can saddles develop creaks and noises? I am going to try and lend a saddle just to check my theory. Possibly something with the seat post?

I would say you have a mix of tar and gravel that you can do. Out towards JBay there are a couple of gravel roads you can do towards the old Apple Express bridge.⁰

The RC8 all day long!
