i laughed out loud, and I don't know why. This post makes absolutely no sense! Keep it strange peep

I don't agree with you about discs. The advent of ABS breaks enabled cars to go much faster because they could stop better/faster and the principle surely applies to cycling as well. If you know you can apply your brakes later and have better stopping power/control you will be able to descend faster

i was wondering when this would rear its head!

"who have no business riding the epic" - lots of judgerigteid around today, yoh

That's a bit bitter and smacks of sour grapes, no? And so what if people have this view - surely its a good thing to have a goal and achieving it without others pi$$ing all over it? If I were ever insane enough to try run and actually finish comrades you'd hear about it from the freaking rooftops!

nou verstaan ek - thanks and thanks

"reads Mtbiker404 post count" oh, young padawan!

my friend doesnt understand this graph, can you help him? Is this showing DNFs?

quite sad, really, but thats what bitcoin trading and crossfit will do to you - rots the brain!

I was supporting riders in Noordhoek this year, at the base of Chappies and heard such a ridiculous story from the marshals. Apparently there was a chap on an e-bike pushing riders up some of the climbs to book faster times. They flagged him because it seemed like there was some sort of arrangement where he would come back to a specific spot and meet riders who I guess must have prearranged this. Sounds like he did a bunch of trips for several riders. Not sure of what the outcome was, but they were certainly looking for him

Harley looks like the goodest boy! BUT... we need to discuss that saddle bag. Yoh. hurts my eyes

I live in the shadow of CP and also heard this group of @sshole motorcyclists come thumping through at breakneck speed - I have asked for the footage from our NW LPR cameras, so lets see. Those bikes were redline revving coming into the first righthand corner from the Noordhoek side. Maybe @117 should tell his tchommies not to treat Chappies as a race track, hmm? All his posts have a DISTINCT absence of comment about how fast they were riding. Tell your friends that I have been in contact with Andre Nel, CoCT head of traffic services as well as JP Smith and will be going through the LPR footage. I am sure your friends are law abiding citizens and all have plates, right?

just stop now, really

from what i could hear (did not see) a bunch of superbikes went racing over chappies on sat morning. There is an escalating trend of groups of bikes and cars treating this road like a race track. I often hear them bombing over and have been caught up in a few. Ferrari groups, BMW groups, superbiker groups - it seems there is a thing lately to get together with the boets and drive like kamakazis. Add to this the weekend warrior TDF wannabees riding abreast and you have a recipe for disaster
