Duane_Bosch Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Brilliant. R500 from me, another R500 if you go sub 4.can you rather pay 50 quids? That's about 6 milyonty Rand.
Shebeen Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 How are we donating ? Everyone putting into one pot, or you just going to trust those who "saying it" to do the honesty system thing?i think it's easy enough to just do it via here - https://capespca.co.za/donate/ just put something CTCTbmx related in your payment reference and they'll pick it up
Patchelicious Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 can you rather pay 50 quids? That's about 6 milyonty Rand.You mean move money from the UK back to SA? Can you even do that?
T-Bob Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 You mean move money from the UK back to SA? Can you even do that? Every damn month, loving the rand's decline!
EddieV Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 I have a BMX for you ... but doubt the gear-ratio (and pedal size) will work for you. Maybe someone has a larger chainring and 1/2" axle flats laying around. Regardless of whether you can use it, I'll donate it to the Tears Charity shop in Lakeside if you attempted the challenge. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/bmx-bikes/391911/bmx-haro-f2
ShovaTours Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 I'm doing it on a bmx too.. 4th time bmx entry. Borat kits not welcomed, those emails didnt go down well from higher management. Fastest is 3hr 52min. Back next weekend for more pain.Great to see guys pumping the pressure and charity vibe.. Good on all of you. See you on the road with a low seat and screaming quads!

FootballingCyclist Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 I think I may have missed your start time and what batch you'll be in?? Also perhaps Sunday morning take a stroll out to Jubilee if you have located your bike by then as there is a "gathering" where Wondercrete are handing out Koesisters and whatever and perhaps we can share your plan and get a few more guys onboard??

Depending on bike availability etc it looks like this might be a train... a pain train! 28kph gets us home, just. Gear ratio is going to be key.....
Jewbacca Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 I have a bolt on 36 narrow wide somewhere if you need it. In Tokai. Don't know BCD but it is a Woolftooth.Thanks Greg! I will get in touch if I need anything... I was remembering our epic battle to win the SS prize at The old Gravel Travel race Wellington/Bainskloof the other day. Good times!
ShovaTours Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 "Gear ratio is going to be key" .....44/16 all the man.Anything easier and you will need cadence like Froome on Fast-forward. Cant wait to hear your report back.

I was going to start at 3:1 and work from there. That was my go to gear on the 700c SS and lapped up the Argus route comfortably.
Wayne pudding Mol Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Well this started out as a lark and has turned into two worthwhile causes - bikehub entertainment and the SPCA I think for ref on donations lets give credit where credit is due - Jewbaccas BMX https://capespca.co.za/donate/ For those out there offering any manner of making this easier for him, please stop. Buckled wheels, threaded cranks and a rusty BMX is the sort of thing he is looking for I look forward to the photos and to a pleasant CTCT on a big boy bike with nice big wheels with loads of gears
SwissVan Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 @Jewbacca, this is an awesome and ludicrous challenge I am going to give you another 9 minutes - The dogs and cats get 5k from me + 500 from @NC_lurker for a sub 4 I will drop the amount to 2500 for a 4 - 430, and regardless of your time, if you do the CTCT on a BMX, I will donate 1500 to the SPCA anyone else is welcome to chip in to see Jewbacca bmx to gloryRight said Fred If it’s for the SPCA or any animal charity , I’ll equal your offer????
