MTB_wannabe Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Drove past the squad on Sunday on our way back from the Sabie Classic, via Pilgrims Rest and Lydenberg. What a privilege to experience a world class team on our stoep. Dig the back stage pass idea ????
MaxKnox Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Check out there strava times up robbers pass and kowyns those boys are fast not to mention they are the coolest team!
Shebeen Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 So why can't dd4q have cool videos too? Am guessing this is somewhere in mpumalanga, impey the tour guide again, seems to be organised around him at sa champs
Skinnyone Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 My wife just spent a week with them on their training camp, she says they are so awesome and relaxed yet so professional! She got to work fairly closely with their PR/media guy and he was the one who introduced the music videos and backstage pass. They have even offered to buy some of her pics that she took whilst there to use in their media campaigns
Cadre Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 So why can't dd4q have cool videos too? Am guessing this is somewhere in mpumalanga, impey the tour guide again, seems to be organised around him at sa champs Crystal Springs Resort at the top of Robbers pass is where they stayed. (up the road from Pilgrims Rest). Training was on the roads leading to the resort as well as the God's Window and Three Rondavel roads. Crystal Springs is also the resort where Nick Bester and Willie Mtolo comrades teams stay when they do their training in the weeks leading up to Comrades. Training at altitude has major benefits of which I know not too much about. Very cool place to stay though. 65km from Numbi gate (Kruger Park).
awesme Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 We, bunch of DOC's also came upon them a while back (back roads of the South), Budgie (aka Michelle still chased after Daryl/them). GSometime in December I was ambling (well my speed versus his) along and Darryl came the opposite way on his TT bike being followed by a car and just sat up and waved and then got back into his TT position and carried on - class act IMHO!
awesme Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 The team commented on their FB page about their training, referring to the awesome place to ride/train in... referring to Mpumalanga.

Al Pal Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Sometime in December I was ambling (well my speed versus his) along and Darryl came the opposite way on his TT bike being followed by a car and just sat up and waved and then got back into his TT position and carried on - class act IMHO!I had the same experience. A group of us rode our MTBs through Walkerville one day during the holidays, saw this dude on the other side of the road followed a vehicle, he waved and greeted, we did the same only to notice then he was in full Orica kit, got home and checked his ride on Strava and it was Darryl. Cool guy!
SwissVan Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Lekker man!! Nice to see a team with good vibes
Shebeen Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 so Orica are pulling the plug. i finally know what they actually do now (mining explosives!) http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/orica-scott-continues-search-for-title-sponsor-as-ryan-funds-womens-and-continental-teams-for-2018/
Cookie88 Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Also see that Dan Jones who is responsible for all the banter & videography on the Backstage Pass is leaving - sad day
