I hear you guys, but some of these resellers are sharks just out for a quick buck. A year or so ago someone advertised a component I was looking for at a really good price. I responded immediately and was informed one of the resellers already jumped on the sale. I then contacted the reseller, asking if he would relinquish the sale to me, only to be told that he will sell it to me at a much higher price. At this stage the seller was not even paid by the reseller yet and the items were still in the seller's possession. I told the reseller I thought it not to be very ethical, as I knew what the sale price of the items were and left it at that.

If one man on his own can do that, just imagine what a task force will be able to accomplish.

I'll add pics later. My road bike is a 2009 vintage Scott Speedster S still with original Ultegra 10spd group set, running an "old man gearing" 52/39 chainring and 11-32 cassette on Mavic Equipe wheels shot with Vittoria tires. Mtb is a 2014 Scott Spark Elite with Shimano 11spd XT group set and brake set. 1 x 34/11-52 gearing, running on Lyne Pulse wheels with Vittoria Barzo 2.25 tires. Gravel Donkey / Hybrid is a vintage unknown (probably mid 2010's) Haibike hardtail frame, put together entirely with 2nd hand parts I had on hand or scrounged from fiends. Sram 10spd Force group set front and rear, Tektra cable brakes, old XT wheelset with 40c Maxxis Rambler tubeless tires.

Did you enter for the Tour de PPA? If you have, your seeding will only be sent out afterwards. "Most race numbers have already been allocated. However, certain entrants will not be receiving their seeding just yet. These include: Recent entrants (after 27 January) and substitutions Some riders who participated in the 99er (expect your seeding next week) Entrants also participating in the Ride for Sight or Tour de PPA who still have a chance to improve their seeding (expect your seeding the week following the event) Elite men, Elite women and U17 boys People with an existing seeding query that have not yet been completed"

E-mail from CTCT.

2D for me, in what should have been my 23rd Argus/CTCT were it not for the cancelled races and last year's I missed with my back operation. I entered for all of the races over the 23 years. Will also be only my 2nd race since the 2023 version, so I'm quite chuffed in having a better starting group as in '23 (thanks to the 99er of '25)

Yip, same here. http://results.racetec.co.za/results_by_person.aspx?

Yay, same provisional seeding as 2023. (Did not ride last year due to back op in Feb 24)

Any news on the guys that was involved in the fall on the one rise on the Malmesbury road? Did not look good with the one guy laying still and one gent sat there with a bloody face.

Surely there is something fishy here. 2nd and 3rd place both above 70 years old. Must definitely be on unrestricted e-bikes, there is no way they can ride those times on analogue or "legal" e-bikes. @NicolasH

Did you at least get the promised chocolate bar? I felt so bad going past them, knowing I could not help as I do not carry a spare Quick Link to help. Good on ya for stopping and helping.

Enduroseal for the win. Affordable and readily available.

Not sure if/what club member, and surely there was witnesses.

Perhaps our esteemed Mayco member must receive a number of not so friendly e-mails in this regard.

Reckless motorist just opened her car door, cyclist swerved out to miss the door and got hit by a truck from behind. Passed away on the scene I believe. RIP fellow rider.
