7 nonstarters for today. Not sure if all are Covid related but looks like it is having the last laugh again.

Some insane numbers in the last 20 secs of the sprint.

I would say that the rim is toast. (No pun intended)

I use pure apple juice mixed with some water (ratio 3:1) Can't remember where exactly I read it. Was a few years back. Apparently, apple juice contains most of the vital nutrients required.

Neatest workshop I have ever seen.🤣

AND yet again the private sector comes to the rescue.

Ridiculous. Almost seems as if the SAPS don't give a continental F...

Internal cable routing is a B.....tch. Requires a lot of patience and retry after retry. Thankfully, google and GCN YouTube are very helpful.

Also sounds like it could be the same vehicle, just with different plates.

Demi Vollering next level at the moment...

Phase 1 of giving Eskom the middle finger completed. Harnessing the power of the sun. Phase 2, gas installation for stove and geysers early next week.

Left over KFC. You did ask 😀

Never knew this but see that Swift was started by Mark Blewitt (former SA road cyclist) in colab with Patrick Morewood (who worked on the suspension design)

Hi Hubbers Not cycling related (unless you have a swim after your cycle), but I have some old pool pumps that I am getting rid off. All non functional Would rather they go to someone who may dabble in the refurbishment of old pumps or strip for parts. 1X Kaufmann 0.8KW 1X Quality 0.75KW 1 X Speck 0.75 KW Based in Randburg, JHB

Not a bad start to the season for TP.

It's all relative IMHO. If you can afford to drop over 3 bar on a car, then 9K for a tyre should theoretically be a drop in the ocean. Likewise, if you can afford a MTB in excess of 20/30 k, then 1k plus for a tyre should be understandable.

With my brother having semigrated to CT (Higgovale) from George, looking at doing CTCT next year. Last did it in 2013. Only really need to worry about flights but for a family of 4, still an expensive outlay. +/- R11000 if booked way in advance. Will need to work on the wife and kids to get a dad only pass for the weekend.

A decent alternative in the classifieds: Giant Propel Advanced Pro Disc Road Bike Carbon | Bike Hub

What a fantastic trip and feedback. Do you mind me asking approximate cost? (I guess there is a luxury option and a roughing it option) Also, the backup vehicle, did it follow you religiously the whole way or meet up with you at certain points on route each day? Thanks. Definitely a bucket list item.

Age old philosophy - never celebrate till you know you have crossed the line

Thanks for the clarification Furbz and love2fly

It was the Cradle Cracker yesterday so could of in all probability been as a result of the runners.

Google is your friend. Bicycle Evolution - numerous comparative pics

Some HTFU hill repeats through Westcliff

Definite Scam Exact same bike advertised for R35000 by a gent in Durbanville
