so that's 3rd place and up 👀

Indeed. While it is harder to put 12 people together it doesn't stop from entering or not entering. As said earlier you only need 6 to get a finish time. If its too expensive, then don't enter. Otherwise, like the rest of the teams get more people... having 13-14 riders keen is the starting point. Then you enter! The rest will happen as it should

Ya i was probably hallucinating that far into the race... 🥴😵‍💫

Quite a few savage mix teams out there? Rode with Brendan and that team through the "purple flowers" till WP2 then out of WP2 with Renay and that team... Had some good fun on the sisters with the team, those ladies in the team are flippen strong... mind blown 🤯 🤯 🤯 Great time well done especially on only your 2nd one!

wonder if bike market did they offer 50% less with this one...

Yesterday as we were coming back from our ride, we got a cyclist who had been waiting at the astron garage waiting for people to pass, without even chatting to him I knew he was looking for company going over the bridge. He told me that on his way through they had tried to rob him, which he managed to get away unharmed. He carried on his ride to sea point, and now just needed company back home... So the situation hasn't changed, and the mind boggles how nothing is done... as simple as getting a vehicle or guard station their with a radio... maybe even just adding surveillance (reactionary rather than preventative).

let them leave 1st with the 10 minutes... the rest of us with more expensive bikes and slightly (only slightly) less ego's can continue... but even then there's no silver bullet really. its a start i guess, a slightly bigger gap and more marshals or commissionaires roaming the fast groups. as i'm typing this i realize that once the fast groups get into the WP's its also tricky then to "track" or "monitor" them as some teams may decide to just grab and go while others may want to sit out the full time given...

incase you wondering who was random coloured guy talking to you after the purple flowers section, that was me!

yep all things considered, we'll still find a way to complain

interesting cycling shorts 🤐

Harder than any racing DC ... well it's always been my hardest DC's

As received

give me a push when you come by...i think you owe me

you worried the faster teams going to beat you?

even me!

...the reality is the chances of being bitten by a snake is really really really low. https://www.news24.com/news24/balancing-the-scales-south-africas-snakebite-stats-reveal-venomous-truths-20241019 the above mentions 2 deaths for 2023/2024 the other mentioned above of the snake handler who got bitten by he's own snake will probably fall under the new fin year.

Reassuring, now that my bro's fitness coming back slowly. Chasing the 2 of you around the peninsula is no fun

come through passed the now cleaned (cleaning) up castle. we have the same issue like you... not lekka, and it seems to be more prominent now as the off ramp is still closed from cars coming off and getting on the n1 (outbound) ...i'm extremely frustrated as these incidents could of been avoided, had there really been a follow up by law enforcement

yeh apparently there was a 3rd a lady was robbed as well... we passed through just after 6 am. i reported it, the ticket was closed and got "it was handed over to metro police and saps". we saw about 5-7 guys hanging out in this area, and you could see it was an incident waiting to happen

my thoughts exactly... also think i meant to put this in the motorists vs cyclists thread
