S-Bike

My hopes for this year's tour: 1) Top 10 for Maincheese; 2) Padun shows everyone what he can do on the mountains; 3) We get to see a proper battle for the overall win - no injuries to the Pog, Rog, Jonas and GT... (I think those are the serious contenders if anyone is a serious contender apart from Pog); and 4) Jakobsen (sprinting against Groenewegen) comes out as the strongest pure sprinter at the tour - which I think is likely with Morkov there to guide him.

Just wanted to give credit to Junaid and the guys at Omnico and Ryder. I have a slyder 4-up on my mtb bike and the slide on brackets on the slyder were recently stolen off. I reached out to Ryder to try and buy the brackets separately and without much fuss they simply sent me a brand new slyder 4-up at no cost to me. I know its not a high end pricey accessory, but this kind of customer service is very rare and deserves a shout-out - so well done guys and thank-you. I will continue to support the Ryder brand for sure!

Cool - I'm probably going to camp there. Looking forward to it!

I'm not affiliated with this race but it looks like a cool one and I've entered. I hope they get enough entries on the 64km to make it viable, so I'm putting this here: http://thehillschallenge.co.za/

Hey hubbers! There is a young guy of 16 years whose parents work on a neighbouring farm to ours near Villiersdorp. He is really keen on mtb and we gave him a second hand mtb for his birthday last year. Its not the latest and greatest, but it enables him to ride decently. Last week his front wheel buckled completely, so I am trying to find a replacement. So does anyone have a 29" rim brake front wheel that is looking for a home?

Giving my first triathlon a go this weekend at the ultra- only doing the sprint... my goal is to just survive the swim

Is there a section of gravel between Gouda and Riebeek?

no matter how I answer this I lose... Just wait while I go edit that rating quickly

Your buyer sounds like a real idiot

Not that I am aware of, sorry for misleading post - commenting based on highlights and clips on youtube

Wow... MvdP... who needs a lead out when you can drop power like that! Enjoy watching this race, beautiful scenery.. but it looks tough - cold and exposed on the road.

When last did a rider win the yellow and white jerseys?

Yip - here we go... I'm hoping JA can just hold on

Yes- Ineos not looking as commanding as usual. In the past they would have send a number of super domestiques to the front to ride the group into the ground until there were only a few left and then Thomas would have attacked. Them not doing it in this way might be an indication that Thomas isn't feeling so strong and would be the one to suffer from this approach or the domestiques themselves are not up to it. The "poor" show we have seen from this far reminds me of when Froome won the Giro... I just have a feeling that they have eyed the last three stages as days on which massive time gains could be made and are biding their time...
