    I've had one family member call me asking where they can buy an IDT today, another asking whether I'll be using mine in the next 3 weeks. You could name your price in the classifieds now!

    If that is the case I 100% agree you shouldn't be out and about. But if it is a farmer's backyard and it's deserted I certainly don't see an issue with it. Either way, I'll be setting up my IDT and fans tonight. Time to re-subscribe to TrainerRoad.

    Are you not going to go into your backyard?

    Play some tug of war and wrestle with him that's what I'll be doing.

    It is going to be incredibly tough on them. But luckily most (probably none) of us here have that excuse.

    No man, let's be lekker and play by the rules. You won't die from not cycling for the next 3 weeks.
  7. Grease_Monkey
    He was pretty clear on that. No leaving the house.

    I'm sure you are right - I see myself deep cleaning my bicycle with a toothbrush in the near future just to keep busy inside.

    I've heard of the green ambulance before... but that was usually after a big night at varsity. Creme Soda has ALL the sugar to cure a babalas.

    One of the best series ever made IMO.
  11. Grease_Monkey
    Edit: not worth it.

    I'm sure there will be... but my point is pretty much the same as yours - insure your event one way or another if it so expensive!
  13. Grease_Monkey
    Many insurers have a built in product when you take out bike insurance. I know my CycleSure policy has event cancellation cover... I don't know the details of it to be honest, but that's just because I don't really do expensive events. I'll probably have a good look over it when I plan a stage race / multi-day event again.

    Did they put it on a vegan diet?
  15. Grease_Monkey
    I am assuming they want to go ahead with the event in May 2021 as planned. Waiting for 2021 to do 2020's event means you are essentially cancelling it.This is about as good as it gets IMO, the event goes ahead, no one loses their entry fee. Maybe a couple of changed flight fees, and a few that won't have the dates open in their calendars - but overall a pretty good outcome.

    I think most guys' personal insurance should cover this. I am with Cyclesure and they have a race cover product that I get with my bicycle insurance which should cover this - that is unless they have an Act of God or Pandemic clause such as the airlines do...
  17. Grease_Monkey
    It is the right call, but I feel for the guys that put in all those hours and cash into preparing for Epic. It's a massive commitment, and regardless of why it was cacelled, I can imagine it must really suck...

    Judging from your current tyre size, you should be able to fit a 700c wheel with 40-45c tyres. I would definitely borrow a set from someone to check first though...
  19. Grease_Monkey
    Fair enough, that's quite a distance...
  20. Grease_Monkey
    There are some options out there, and I am not anti e-bike at all - but do you really think a battery and motor will be at home on a gravel bike? In my mind a gravel bike is typically something people do looong distances on, and it feels to me like a battery will limit that. The range on e-bikes don't really exceed 100kms, and from what I have seen most of the nutters that ride gravel bikes do 100km as a warm-up....

    Golden hour on Helderberg. The days are getting shorter...
  22. Grease_Monkey
    Haha as much as I dislike the brand, they do the best saddles and shoes, and lately doing some very nice things with mtb tyres... so I'll make an exception here.
  23. Grease_Monkey
    I think he is broken....
  24. Grease_Monkey
    I am going to be replacing my Farr Dots with the Spaz Pathfinders when the time comes. The Spaz tyres are much lighter and have slightly more reliable casings, also have more grip in the dirt with the same slick centre - win win and win.
  25. Grease_Monkey
    Haha mine won't notice the new machine, but she will notice the +/-15k hole in my wallet.
