Cois, contact Ballistic Bike Trading, albeit they no longer the agent for Bryton they still have some excess stock lying around. They could have your mount you looking for. I managed to get a heart monitor last week. Adam was very helpful and delivery was overnight. info@bbtrading.co.za

Just got a mail from CSA to renew my license, reminding me of all the benefits etc etc No doubt an automatic mail. Pity they haven't thought this through, considering the times we in and the cancellation of races going forward? Supposed they tried! Maybe some will pay? Never know.

Maybe someone can help, is ASG operational? I see lots of specials etc, but nothing when you contact them? I firstly requested my money back from the cancellation of the Emperors race, no answer from them. Only the initial mail to either spend in there online shop or keep your entry for next year. After no response to getting my money back i decided to spend it on one of the specials being offered. Mailed them with the special Im interested in and how i go about writing the entry off against the price. Anyway, a few non answered calls (assuming they closed) and a few mails later, still nothing, but the email on the specials dont stop? Very weird..... Seeing the Jock has been sold too, seems things are not good? Anybody else have some luck with them?

Hey Kosi, contact Bicycle Line. They in Atlasville (down the road from where you live). Other than Monday mornings they have daily rides every morning from 04h40, group rides to suit your strength etc etc.

those lace up Giro shoes you had the other day??? Road?

Here's hoping roads all good and potholes sorted for Sunday. Good luck to all....

So, event has been cancelled.....with a week to go. Pity. Here's hoping the refunds are done quick and without delays.

Rumour has it this is not happening? Apparently venue is a concern? Anyone know more?

Got mine delivered today too. Good job! Would have paid to have my race number in there too? Imagine that?

I wonder about the longivity of this race going forward. Dwindling numbers, licenced groups being joined? Seems to get smaller and smaller each year. Sign of the times maybe? Not sure I'll do it again. Thanks to the schools - hope they at least make some money out of the event? Would have been nice to purchase a shirt or something for the event - but nothing? Anyway, lekker tough route, nice to ride in some heat and get away from the highveld cold mornings.

Has to be the best organised event by far. Great route... the best road surface I've done for 110km's! Albeit our race was stopped with about 20 odd km's (VC) to go, we were warned, some just won't listen!! Not to sure on the rule re the breakaway though, do they get the advantage? Maybe some extra shade at the entertainment area? Gets pretty full quickly. Other than that... a race you should never miss. Thanks Germiston bunch and your team.... was a goodie.

As always, Sun City race a goodie..... in general roads are good(love the last stretch to finish).... just those first few km's road not the best...… Not sure about the finish with that tight right hand turn..... think that needs to be looked at, considering the speed the bunches enter there for the sprint finish. Will be back!

Look at u

Hi all, anyone ever done this race..... is it worth the drive from JHB? Is it an out and back or straight to Loskop? Can't seem to find any contact details of organisers. Thanks

Anyone do this on Saturday? Was my first, pretty tough climbing, nicely organized, thanks to the schools for the chow .... about those climbs …..

Morning all, anyone get start times yet?

Na... dont think so.... if your kid gets picked for 1st team he plays there.... doesn't move to 2nd's at will and run all over the 2nd team okes! Apples with apples.... if u seeded A... ride A... might as well forget about seeding then...... You hit the nail on it's head.... to allow similar ability to compete with one another! Pointless dropping back? Not to mention you ride / train with your mates alot. Sure they'll be fine 1 group behind?

I'm confused........ why try break up the BL okes..... stay with AL where u seeded? You made the breaks etc.... so were keen to win BL maybe? Maybe in AL you would have found your few minutes and / or 2-3 km per hour you were looking for? Just a thought

he he... same same with A Group. Oke who won it..... not sure I saw him for 97.5km's...anyway sure he's proud, well done lad (his Strava is ) Most of the day up front were the same few guys... to those fellas.... thanks for bringing the winners home! to the rider with the number 27 on his bike, proudly displayed.....assuming he is an elite cyclist, but had a special number behind his seat post, not like us..... when asked why he didn't have a race number he promptly answered... "i'm not racing, didn't enter??" WTF dude... you rode the whole way? There were more.... you know who you are? Maybe they the ones complaining about the price? Anyway, always lekker to ride with some of your mates. Glad there were no major crashes in the A group - well not that we heard or saw thankfully.... be safe out there

Na.... that's not on bud! If you want to join the RACE... then pay brother.... Dont be that guy

same as last year......... good thing is wen u get dropped in AL... the VC okes catch you.... lekker ride back

Did the route on Sunday.... roads are fine. You forget just how hard this route is, yoh, and the wind! Let's see........

Cyclelab Boksburg must be da-moer-in! Sponsors and you cant even collect ur number there? Just makes no sense?...... anyway.... let's not do the "number collection" moan thingy??

Morning all. I've got an entry up for grabs if anyone is wanting one. PM me and we can organize. Have a lekker day all......
