Even if I am a PPA member?

This is my first time entering for the Cape Town Cycle Tour. (no seeding but will compete in a few races to improve my seeding for the the Tour) If I understand the email correctly, entries open today at 16:00?

Jealous! I would like the smaller brother - The Mega C.

I also heard a few scary stories about tyres without serial numbers... Love the Gatorskins! They are almost bomb proof and I get a lot of mileage out of them. True, good point. Interesting about the latex tubes. Never tried it as I know little about it. I am just running the classic Continental Race tubes.

Okay, you got me there. But, I paid R350 per tyre for my Gatorskins on promotion (wire bead) and this will keep me running for the entire year if all goes well. I never buy tyres at normal price, I just feel it is really expensive. If there is a promo, I will buy two or even four to keep me stocked up. The Schwalbe Pro One goes for R995 (currently on special at EvoBikes) which is a lot a money for me for just one rubber. On my MTB I did not spend that much too for a tubeless tyre. My Ikon's cost me R420 a tyre. Also, touch wood, my puncture rate on the road bike has been all good this year. Only a total of 4 so far. And being a light rider, I do run my tyre pressure a bit lower without any issues or pinch flats.

Haha, this made me laugh... I know the pain back with my MTB'ing days.

Joined a team for my first DC. Nothing too serious (luckily not race pace, as I would like to enjoy the event rather than dying). Our team is aiming for 8 hours, so 25kph average. Now the training awaits...

Love the sound of the freewheel over the jumps.

Tenn Pro Bib for SportsWorld, currently on promotional for R780. Great bibs and very good value for money. And this: https://bike-addict.co.za/products/ciovita-corsa-mens-bib-short I think that's a bargain!

So CLEAN cockpit!

I said to my boss yesterday that the 30mm they predicted last week came yesterday haha.

Saw a commuter on his way home. I felt bad for him, he was soaking wet. He did seem to enjoy it. Glad I was in a car than on a bike though...

+1 In my MTB days, I only used SunRace cassettes. Far cheaper than the Shimano equivalent and gave me good mileage with no issues.

Basically the benchmark for gravel biking! Cannot wait for the pics.

Eclipse photographers tonight be like: Need to get out the big guns haha.

Beautiful bike! That bike is perfect for road and gravel. You get two wheelsets and it is basically the all-in-one bike for your needs. Love the simplicity of the frame design and the unique paint scheme. I love it.

Lekker man, lekker! Grammar error: Should be Loris Vergier.

Ordered from Summit Bikes for the first time and I am very impressed with the speedy service I got. Great pricing and Dominic kept me up to date with my order. Best of all he is close by and free shipping! I would definitely support him going forward.

I paid R705 at Science2Sport. "I'd like to offer everyone a bike fit special between 16 July and 3 August. It will be R1320 for a bike fit for TWO bikes (usually R1660) or R705 for a bike fit for ONE bike (usually R830)." - quote from Matt Beers Facebook page

Bike Fit - definitely worth the investment!
