I rode with the schwalbe G-One all round gravel tire. 38mm. Did quite a bit of gravel and corrugated and single track riding and never had a problem with them. First 1km of dirt on Saturday and that was me done for the day with a puncture and a side wall cut in the same place on the tyre. All recommendations welcome for new tyres! I am going to give the Panaracer 38mm gravel king tyre a try going forward!

Gravel race to loskop from benoni

I feel like I missed out on a great day of riding! Took my new gravel bike out and punctured (side wall cut) as we turned off the road out of harties onto the first gravel section. Punctured and cut the side wall! Early pick up for my wife! I had a laugh when the next group of team riders came and the front guys on their mtb almost seemed to count me as the first gravel bike out... bad luck on my part but I guess that’s the way it sometimes goes. Will be back next year on my gravel bike but maybe on slightly more rugged tyres with stronger side walls!

Will start the spruit from the witkoppen Rivonia side and ride all the way up... all good on a gravel bike from that side of the spruit?

Anyone done the spruit on a gravel bike lately? Coming from the east rand and haven’t ridden up the spruit recently

Hi there Do you have long finger race gloves (black) in stock? How comfy are they on a gravel bike over long distance (+6 hour rides)? Are they comfy even though they don’t have padding? Do you have stock of the rear saddle bike bag as well? Thanks

?

Has anyone entered yet and what do you get as part of the race entry? I read somewhere that 3 sun city entries are included and discount on accommodation? What are the specifics on this before I go ahead and enter? Would my wife and daughter get into the valley of the waves with the entries included?

Anyone know if we can still book a car shuttle from underberg at registration? Our driver can’t make it anymore and need a car shuttle? Anyone know please responses to us ASAP!

Where did you find the seedings?

307W at 72KG.... 4.26 Power to weight... trying to improve the power and reduce the weight slightly to about 69kg by Sani

When will the badges update for today's riding? I only needed the 1000m badge and I just completed the Bestmed road race that had 1100m of climbing but my profile still says I need the 1000m badge. Once it updates I have completed all badges!

Hey there I also mtb. Use the road bike as good endurance and stamina training on the weekends mostly. Done all the big mtb stage races. I am in the brentwood park area now, and yourself? Where do you head out on the mtb here?

Hi there You guys still riding during the week? What time you guys ride? Do you guys ride on the weekend? Thanks Craig

Morning all I am now in Benoni. Looking for a pretty fast road group in the benoni area. It's pretty flat out here so looking for a group that rides at least 34km/h average. Anyone on the hub with some contacts or know of fast road groups in the benoni area. Looking to ride at least 120km tomorrow. Thanks Craig

Thanks for the info. Pace sounds good. I rode the 200km Audax this past weekend at an average of just over 32km/hour. So I should manage the quicker group. Average around 10 hours on the bike per week in PTA at the moment. Where do the guys head that leave from the O'reily BP in the mornings and how far do they generally go? I will be staying very close to that garage. Thanks!

It looks like Benoni is a quiet place! Anyone else out there that rids a road bike in Benoni in the mornings? Does the tour de frans group still ride in the mornings?

Hi all Moving from Pretoria to Benoni at the end of April. Are there any early morning groups that ride from the Benoni area during the week and on the weekends. Looking for a road bike group mainly that averages above 30km/hour on most rides. Any input or contact details will be appreciated!

Maybe only one... Lol

Thanks Wessel! Appreciate the feedback. Looking forward to hitting the trails tomorrow! Cheers

Still no email. When will the other emails be sent out for those that entered yesterday and the day before?

Ok no problem. Will wait for an email tomorrow hopefully. Cheers

I entered yesterday. Where does a seeding of 31 put me anyway?

Hi Wessel Have not received an email yet with my seeding for the marathon. I have a Saseeding index of 31, which batch does that put me in for the marathan? My full name is Craig Kingham. Thanks Craig
