  1. Let’s not make up things please.
  2. US lawyers phoning organisers the one year comes to mind so their clients can start the next day
  3. It’s Karkloof you can do 90% of the homework before any route is out so yes you can be well prepared as the guys hunting the SA titles were. it’s SA champs lay off the drama in the post
  4. Have you seen and been to a gravel race in Europe? If you upset over Karkloof then don’t come to some of the Euro gravel races. Even some of the local races in and around Girona are nmore technical. Barring some, South African’s are all “harder longer tougher or we want more” until there is a rock garden or in this case a segment that basically everyone rode. Then there tears. Rule is do your homework before going to a race, especially a gravel race or event, know what to run, what you should expect etc and not take info after a race from a few road riders who battle over a cattle grid at hour 2. Im not having a go at you; it’s just the view and mentality of SA and racing mostly. Race what is in front of you, if you don’t like it, don’t race
  5. Did you also miss out on the participation medal?
  6. Yes, I got that on the 1st story.
  7. I didn't need a justified story, I just felt you have had a lot of bad experiences or people are not up to your expectations. Nothing else.
  8. You seem to have bad experiences with service delivery inside the cycling world
  9. Def did not think that, maybe I should get in touch more with my sensitive side. Woke or whatever they call that
  10. Listen and take advice from someone or person who has a he and track reference to what you actually need identified and corrected. That is for you to identity that person or people
  11. If I had a 30min silver bullet I would not be sitting in a airport on route to Austria for a pre Vuelta altitude camp playing on the Hub. I would be playing on the hub using my staff to type this from my Villa in Mallorca
  12. Get creative and use connect them both. 96 PB loops with a easy 431 on LL.
  13. I wouldn't say self depreciation, more like that it's not a world class facility. It's a slow track, it's cement etc. Nothing wrong to race track on but not world class.
  14. If I really had to be a dick I could say that once some riders he has fitted come back from Australia we have had to make a series of corrections for them into the new season.
  15. Watching a video and commenting on someone’s fitment is as accurate as predicting when Jesus will save the world. You have no history or knowledge on why or how. same as the guy predicting wkg during the tour. Some are so far removed from accurate
  16. That’s why every individual is different. No one fit fits all
  17. What does working on your core do?
  18. How was your fitment and/or medical you received from him?
  19. sounds like you need to work on yourself and improve overall strength, flexibility etc and not try adapt a bike to you. I would however, advise that you save your money and get to Cape Town and see Dr Jeroen Swart for an assessment and fitment before going elsewhere. you will land up spending the money at all the other places, including podiatrist and not have a overall positive outcome. My 2c.
  20. Clearly I have been luckily enough to go to the al none average ones then.
  21. I listen to the Move without a missing beat, it's really good. regardless of what you think of any of them
  22. Subjectively it’s in Cape Town so karkloof wont work this time around
  23. https://www.tissottiming.com/2023/mtbxcmwch/en-gb/default/Stage/1/Live
  24. Imbhuko challenge route alone is world class for a marathon world event. Better than Karkloof
