  1. My hopes for this year's tour: 1) Top 10 for Maincheese; 2) Padun shows everyone what he can do on the mountains; 3) We get to see a proper battle for the overall win - no injuries to the Pog, Rog, Jonas and GT... (I think those are the serious contenders if anyone is a serious contender apart from Pog); and 4) Jakobsen (sprinting against Groenewegen) comes out as the strongest pure sprinter at the tour - which I think is likely with Morkov there to guide him.
  2. Just wanted to give credit to Junaid and the guys at Omnico and Ryder. I have a slyder 4-up on my mtb bike and the slide on brackets on the slyder were recently stolen off. I reached out to Ryder to try and buy the brackets separately and without much fuss they simply sent me a brand new slyder 4-up at no cost to me. I know its not a high end pricey accessory, but this kind of customer service is very rare and deserves a shout-out - so well done guys and thank-you. I will continue to support the Ryder brand for sure!
  3. Cool - I'm probably going to camp there. Looking forward to it!
  4. I'm not affiliated with this race but it looks like a cool one and I've entered. I hope they get enough entries on the 64km to make it viable, so I'm putting this here: http://thehillschallenge.co.za/
  5. Hey hubbers! There is a young guy of 16 years whose parents work on a neighbouring farm to ours near Villiersdorp. He is really keen on mtb and we gave him a second hand mtb for his birthday last year. Its not the latest and greatest, but it enables him to ride decently. Last week his front wheel buckled completely, so I am trying to find a replacement. So does anyone have a 29" rim brake front wheel that is looking for a home?
  6. Giving my first triathlon a go this weekend at the ultra- only doing the sprint... my goal is to just survive the swim
  7. Is there a section of gravel between Gouda and Riebeek?
  8. no matter how I answer this I lose... Just wait while I go edit that rating quickly
  9. Not that I am aware of, sorry for misleading post - commenting based on highlights and clips on youtube
  10. Wow... MvdP... who needs a lead out when you can drop power like that! Enjoy watching this race, beautiful scenery.. but it looks tough - cold and exposed on the road.
  11. When last did a rider win the yellow and white jerseys?
  12. Yip - here we go... I'm hoping JA can just hold on
  13. Yes- Ineos not looking as commanding as usual. In the past they would have send a number of super domestiques to the front to ride the group into the ground until there were only a few left and then Thomas would have attacked. Them not doing it in this way might be an indication that Thomas isn't feeling so strong and would be the one to suffer from this approach or the domestiques themselves are not up to it. The "poor" show we have seen from this far reminds me of when Froome won the Giro... I just have a feeling that they have eyed the last three stages as days on which massive time gains could be made and are biding their time...
  14. But Dylan van Baarle is also in the Wellens group up the road. With him that makes four riders on Galibier... actually looks pretty good for them.
  15. I’m scratching my head about allaphilipe- why does he not target the yellow jersey?
  16. This... After what Froome did to Yates last year I think he will have learnt to save as much as possible for the last week... Personally - I hope Roglic can do it, but a bit sad he isn't doing it at the TDF and giving Thomas and Froome a good challenge.
  17. Any chance you you guys are going to run a fantasy league for the Giro? The TDF fantasy league is awesome but its fairly easy to predict the most of the stage winners and overall contenders... Giro will be so much better as its harder to call IMO
  18. Doing with my father-who turns 71 this year (beast). Am not able to make it through to Rondebosch or Chris Willemse Cycles though. Anyone going who is willing to collect race numbers for my dad and I?
  19. Nice one! How did you find the N9 -R62 between Oudtshoorn and PE? Isn't it very narrow and full of trucks? We have done a very similar route - but from Oudtshoorn we popped over to George and then rode on the N2 all the way to PE. Like you've said - the N2 from George (maybe excluding the descent to Wilderness) is really wide and great to ride. My favorite section was through the forests around Storms River, wide yellow lane, smooth tar and beautiful scenery.
  20. Isn't Dauberman the lawyer defending Timothy Omotoso?
  21. Thanks -There are a number of GPS options out there - but if you want to be able pair with discovery you are limited to the list above... Just wondering if the anyone using other devices (Lezyne, bryton, Giant Neostrack etc) have a way around this...
