  1. I had all great ideas of doing the Trans karoo and Tanka Karoo............ But at the momement my hope is to just to get back on my bike. Lost my mojo....
  2. I am with you on this. I am not a seasoned bunch rider, but the groups coming pass did not have rythm. Going forward and backward like a yo yo. I felt as if a accident is bound to happen sooner or later. Especially with the cross winds. Ended up riding the whole R44 basically alone.
  3. I cramped Worcester race and K2C to the extent that i thought my muscles is going to tear of my bones. So first on my way to the event ,I try to finish my first bottle and durin the race I started to focus on drinking every 15min a sip, but it have to add up to approx 500ml an hour. I also eat on the hour. For me bananas work . Cramps gone. Also always had a slump on about 70km.which is gone and I have a more constant energy. Due to work commitments I trained less, and that i felt today but no cramps
  4. .......and to answer the question : yes you are. Edit: just a sugestion can you name the album according to time taken. ?That will limit searching....
  5. Where did you take photos.? Were you the guy on that last hill by Krommeree
  6. Not nice Jaco. Hope it ends well for you.
  7. .............and based on how the wind is blowing for the last few days: very strong. Dammmm! Did the wind come from behind last year? just my luck ...while I was laying in bed with broken bones.
  8. Are you home big mouth? Or are you taking a break?
  9. Good luck. Be safe
  10. Awesome ride. Even better average as I forgot to stop my Garmin before I drove home.
  11. I will be there
  12. Stay away from One plan. They are the worst you can get. They never paid out,and I also never got feed back of what is paid and what not. Not until you get letters from the doctors and worst of all...... they keep thinking of new ideas why they should deduct additional funds from your bank account. I left them 5 months ago and once again they notify me this month that they are going to deduct yet another R500.00 from my bankacc. As I signed a DO I have no power. And my wonderfull bank tells me they cannot stop the payments.
  13. I had more or less the same problem Found my answer here.. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/131581-nutrition-and-4-hrs-rides/
  14. Your results will show later in the week once they confirmed your Ppa membership.
  15. mmmmm Lost it too.
  16. Missed last year because of my accident. This year I am there like a bear. O sorry .... with a bear
  17. Yes I am keen. Definitely on the 16th.
  18. Seeded L in PPA. Not lying at all. Very far from B
  19. If you keep the pace for the first half, I will pull the second.
  20. Nope there are two of us .....:-)
  21. I doubt that your theory is correct. First of all If they seeded me in B they made a big mistake. ..... A very big one. Starting time according to website is 6h30 BL only start at 6H50.
  22. I found the wrong socks is the culprit. In my case 100%cotton cycling specific socks is the solution. And dont tighten the shoes too much. After years of not having burning feet, I wore the wrong socks the other day and had to actually stop next to the road the relieve my feet from burning so much.
  23. I am also in BL...
  24. The wind is normally a headwind . Which in my mind is better for a tandem than a side wind? Well not as good as one pushing you from the back..........but what is the odds for that???? In my opion ......zero.
