💙🩷 Perfect weekend in Montagu with good friends 🫶. Love road tripping that side, the gravel is probably the best in the country (especially this Gravel and Grit route we had this weekend, best route I’ve ever raced on) and this place is something else for everything before and after the racing : chilling on the deck, braaing, swimming… can’t wait to go back already! @euro_steel_sport @eurosteel_ciovita_vets @eurosteelsa @enduren @squirtcyclingproducts @leatt_mtb @ciovita @thesaostudio

Gallows ☠️⚰️ - P10 Legs level : meh Stoke level : 💯 I remembered it being one of the most epic races in the season with all the single track sections and boy did it deliver just that ! Always kind of on the back foot with bad positionning for all the choke points left me chasing quite a lot and with average legs I was never going to hit the final climb in semi decent shape. All good it was part of a quality 10hr over 3 days little block that should hopefully pay dividends for the upcoming tour of Mauritius 🤞🤞 📸 @eringoodman_ @jamesheron_c @mattie_lennon Shoutout to our sponsors: ASAPWorld @abus_cycling_sa @assmagiccc @banhoek_bikes @ciovita CoastAndCountrySales @efficiency_staffing_solutions PillarInsurance @sisu_nutrition_sa @soudal_group Secuvest StellenboschChiropractic @moira_chiro_scoliosis @tufotyres_sa @100percentbike @600ctgroup 💙

Oof, this squad 🥵🥵 Much needed shock to the system before all the upcoming road races, legs forgot how it felt doing over 300w on the 54/11 at 100+rpm (also bit of reajusting to the road cleats, almost bought property in the ditch after accidentaly unclipping while opening up my hip/knee to pick up my back bottle 😖😅) @saint_hd on the 📸 Shoutout to our sponsors: ASAPWorld @abus_cycling_sa @assmagiccc @banhoek_bikes @ciovita CoastAndCountrySales @efficiency_staffing_solutions PillarInsurance @sisu_nutrition_sa @soudal_group Secuvest StellenboschChiropractic @moira_chiro_scoliosis @tufotyres_sa @100percentbike @600ctgroup 💙

Ronde van Bain’s with a full squad this weekend, 5 of us in the top 9 (including 🥈& 🥉). We wanted a break with at least two of us there which we got with @hofmeyrwynand and @cobus.marais in a move with @danloubser . Once this was gone we quickly ended up with a reduced chase group in which we rolled through without chasing too actively, thinking if the gap stays what it is, @willem_visagie2005 can bridge accross to the break and win it. It almost exactly happened as planned except the descent of Bain’s still requires a lot of pedalling and Willem on his brand new bike didn’t have a big enough chainring to keep up with Dan in the final ramp to the line. Super proud of the team’s showing this weekend you guys are always mad strong, well done @danloubser on another great race and finally a good decisive decent 😬😬. On a personal note expected but still disappointing lack of endurance at that intensity with cramps about 2 hours in, I can think of a dozen excuses for that, but still glad I could be there in that chase group to contribute with what I could (and thanks again Willem for looking after me in the crosswinds 🩵) 📸 @taitcharl Shoutout to our sponsors: ASAPWorld @abus_cycling_sa @assmagiccc @banhoek_bikes @ciovita CoastAndCountrySales @efficiency_staffing_solutions PillarInsurance @sisu_nutrition_sa @soudal_group Secuvest StellenboschChiropractic @moira_chiro_scoliosis @tufotyres_sa @100percentbike @600ctgroup 💙

Cycle Tour 26 : we took a couple of pulls with my partner in crime @wilcostr , it’s safer in the front than in the bunch apparently 😬. Then after 1h48 at 318w normalised my power meter decided to die, so I figured I might as well cruise over chappies and to the finish because it doesn’t count anymore 🤓. 2h43, almost my slowest tour of the 5 I did, but my first one was the wet one and was therefore a couple mins slower ! Seems going over chappies in the front group will never happen as I’m definitely too old for this 😅 Thanks @tobisa for the incredible shots, made it worth it 😵‍💫 Shoutout to our sponsors: ASAPWorld @abus_cycling_sa @assmagiccc @banhoek_bikes @ciovita CoastAndCountrySales @efficiency_staffing_solutions PillarInsurance @sisu_nutrition_sa @soudal_group Secuvest StellenboschChiropractic @moira_chiro_scoliosis @tufotyres_sa @100percentbike @600ctgroup 💙 #pandapodium aero bottles, farsports evo s, cybrei crank and canwin zephyr bars

CTCT is one of the hardest races to control and get right because it’s so fast and it’s such a big group, you have to always have someone in the front to know what’s going on, and then be able to communicate to try and make the right decisions. You also need to position right and avoid crashes, which there was a lot yesterday, and despite spending most of the first hour and a half in the front, I had to come to a stop twice to go around poor guys on the floor. The crash before chappies definitely didn’t help us execute our plan but that’s racing. Well done to my teammates yesterday for a strong ride, absolute privilege to be able to ride alongside you all 🩵 Shoutout to our sponsors: ASAPWorld @abus_cycling_sa @assmagiccc @banhoek_bikes @ciovita CoastAndCountrySales @efficiency_staffing_solutions PillarInsurance @sisu_nutrition_sa @soudal_group Secuvest StellenboschChiropractic @moira_chiro_scoliosis @tufotyres_sa @100percentbike @600ctgroup 💙 #pandapodium aero bottles, farsports evo s, cybrei crank and canwin zephyr bars

Good to be rocking the new kit at Killarney yesterday, first time back in the bunch after crashing hard at SA’s two and a bit weeks ago and suffering some road rash and a sprained shoulder. Legs were decent which is good for confidence just before our local world champs 🔥 Massive thanks to @asapcycling @schultzyinthehouse and all the sponsors for this sick new kit 😍 and all the other awesome products and support we get week in week out 🙏 📸 @wpcyclingsnaps ASAPWorld @abus_cycling_sa @assmagiccc @banhoek_bikes @ciovita CoastAndCountrySales @efficiency_staffing_solutions PillarInsurance @sisu_nutrition_sa @soudal_group Secuvest StellenboschChiropractic @moira_chiro_scoliosis @tufotyres_sa @100percentbike @600ctgroup 💙

Filthy Fondo Caledon - was a bit ambitious to decide to go in the break but I had the legs at the time 😬😜 20mins later I sat up and went back with the chase bunch that was still going pretty fast. Dropping a chain with 30k-ish to go was a bit of relief as I could finally just cruise to the finish after a hard and hot morning out 😅 Not a bad day in the end for the team with @hofmeyrwynand on the podium and a cheeky surprise 40+ podium for myself despite rolling over the line in 12th overall 😅 📸@janco__photography @riaanvandeventer Shoutout to our sponsors: ASAPWorld @abus_cycling_sa @assmagiccc @banhoek_bikes @ciovita CoastAndCountrySales @efficiency_staffing_solutions PillarInsurance @sisu_nutrition_sa @soudal_group Secuvest StellenboschChiropractic @moira_chiro_scoliosis @tufotyres_sa @100percentbike @600ctgroup 💙
