Trevz Posted July 1, 2021 Share As a colored man this makes me happy. Growing up i was told cycling is a white persons sport / recreational activity....just stuck to playing football. ????This exposure to the sport is needed. Amongst those boys could be a World Cup winner. I believed a lie...the lie must not be passed down from generation to generation. Awesome clip! Maybe one day my son can buy his own 50k bike without getting negative frowns from the family...."50k for a bicycle, are you mad?!" ????????

I think it might be the standard response from any non-cyclist ???? Trevz, Waxhead and CdT85 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what u asking ........been in Zooms the whole day!! A good event Plus: nice gees around tent area, great food , well priced Not lekker: bladdy long drive to get there Maybe consider changing: a lot of district road riding...might be difficult for you to adjust that. I look for more technical type riding with decent elevation but that is a personal call. Seems like it should be a gravel type event? Strange weighted seeding concept you have Overall very nice and it was great to get out after such a long period of LC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange weighted seeding concept you have Overall very nice and it was great to get out after such a long period of LC Thanks for the feed back, appreciate. Not part of the Team, just a cycling enthusiast and fond of our region. Do talk to the team a bit and always give my feedback. Plus: nice gees around tent area, great food , well priced - Some feel with the accommodation the value is lost Not lekker: bladdy long drive to get there - only negative point for our region, but perhaps why we love it. 1000km whichever direction you go. Flights unaffordable point!!! Seems like it should be a gravel type event? - Do not have a gravel bike, the sand sections and corrugation going to be killers. Strange weighted seeding concept you have - From day one of the event told them the weighted seeding is off. This seeding comes from a race they did in Portugal, Trans Portugal, that event is times 5 this event on difficulty(length) and therefor the seeding outcome is incorrect. All the best for the Cape Epic prep. Waxhead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
