That's my kind of ride that!!!

@Nick... what say you sir?

That's when I was last there too - on the assumption that there was permission. This post is dated December 2024. Riding when there is explicit withdrawal of permission though is a no go for me - I would love to talk to the landowner and see if he is willing to allow a trip.

Does anyone have the land owner's number to DM me? - I would like to beg for permission

This is very bad news. I loved that ride and was planning it for this weekend

Makes me want this one too

How many of us have put dropper posts on their gravel bikes? Raise your hand and say Aye 🤚 aye

Thread hijack - As my late father's child I can't ignore the confusion between "weary" meaning tired and "wary" meaning cautious. It has been giving me a facial tic. Sorry

That's a lot of bike for 30k

I have inner bar ends - wonder if I'll be DQ'd when I come in on the 50th percentile

I'd go Titan also In my idea world bikes above the most basic of entry level ones would come sans saddle / tyres / stem / cranks / tyres and then you pick the ones you want

Ja took me a few goes to realise that riding on the pavement next to the GrandWest offramp is the way to go. If I ever have an opportunity to pin down the NMT Mayco member he's getting an earful

When you live n the southern suburbs it's 35k and a "take your life in your hands" sprint over vanguard drive bridge to get to the gravelly goodness of the north which basically starts at occultdale Rd.

There isn't a properly safe route at the moment I don't think. If returning home from a long ride I usually go through paarden island, over Koeberg interchange, past that stupid new Amazon development with its cyclist unfriendly roads. Only ok on weekends at off peak times. And not really safe at all.

I don't think it will change easily - complexities of land ownership and low priority for the politicians I think.
