    Us 8h guys don't want them racing past us when we are suffering!!!!!
  2. Big up to the big guy in W2W kit on a MTB rolling with the Tri bikes
  3. A while ago there was an attempted jacking near the Lower Church St bridge and the guys living next to the bridge actually helped to get the bike back. On another occasion a rider was robbed of his cell phone under the N1 underpass and it turned out to be perps from Athlone who had a car waiting on top of the bridge. The I phone was traced to Athlone I suspect that the trouble is caused by chancers moving through the area. Before being to brave and trying to take the bad guy/s on ,consider that they will most probably have a knife or a gun and will not hesitate to use it and they will have experience in the art Consider your route and stay alert Be safe out there
  4. Seen on PPA FB page. Bikejacking this morning cnr Tokai rd and Zwaanswyk Rd. Any more details?
  5. Get a new one ,save lots of hasles

  8. Buy a second hardtail with cheap tyres for commuting and keep the nice bike as a weekend special!!!

    Only thing worse would be snow falling on top of Pr Alfreds. One of the main reasons I do this every year is to enjoy the beauty of nature. Did not like the mess left behind at the waterpoints especially with the wind blowing the cups all over the place .Wish they would make dedicated chuck zones.Even those big fruit bins would do the job.Did not like throwing gel sachets,bar wrappers etc on the ground at the waterpoints because there were no bins or they were full.

    First bit of new equipment to be purchased is a Spaceblanket!! Mother it was cold.Waiting at the waterpoints,in pouring rain and strong wind, on top of the hills for your pals was seriously challenging. At the waterpoint before Buffelsnek there were about 5 riders on the big truck ,at Buffelsnek it was FULL

    Last year it snowed a week before and Pr Alfred's was not wet at all. Wonder if that rooster that wakes up the campers at 3 AM has been eaten .Maybe earplugs are needed to cope with all rooster and other human noises.Or maybe sitting in the bar till late and joining in with the "WAARS DIT LEKKER,HIERS DIT LEKKER!!!"
  14. Never to young to start commuting.Caught the 4.30 bike bus from Ct Train Lodge and enjoyed the company of a 2 or 3 year old riding with his dad ,until they turned off at Woodstock. Big Up young man!!

    Or drive through the poort to Avontuur,watch your rider/s go under the bridge and then back to Knysna via George.Works for the slower riders ,not so much for the snakes
