The Ouzo

also received it yesterday, 3 times. Great that they are at least working on things, lets see how well they are executed.

I have no medical knowledge, I was advised by someone that it helps and for me at least it has helped. My wife would tell me in the morning that I was cycling in my sleep again, but the worst part was that the twitches would come just as the body is relaxing right before you fall asleep, that would keep me awake and I just was not getting a good nights sleep.

the year of the rain I dropped back 30 minutes or something like that, was amongst the best rides I had around the cape. Stronger than everyone around me so pulled them for a looooooong time before I peeled off to wait for my friend. After that it was Zone 1 / Zone 2 to the finish, even stopping for pictures and a toilet stop on Chappies before catching him again before suikers. If you're not worried about your finish time its a great thing to do.

everybody is different. i take slow mag daily, it helps with muscle twitches when I'm trying to sleep, but before that I took Repleni Mag. First time I took it I spent the entire night up and down to the toilet emptying the bladder. I tried it again 6 months later and it worked fine, then about 1 month after that it started to irritate the bowels. So far slo mag has been constant. Everybody's body is different. for me, the times I've cramped have always been when I've done efforts the body is not used to, the fitter I've gotten the easier its become to back off and spin through the spasm. But I seem to recall an article/YT vid a few months back where it was said that doctors have not been able to pin point the exact cause of why people cramp and others dont.

he is an e-bike rider, they're normally a bit slow

developing high end tech generally eventually means the technology trickles down to the lower end. Think about cars, tech we have as standard in lower end cars now was high tech stuff reserved for top end models only in the past. Think groupsets, Shimano 105 today has tech from Dura-Ace and ultegra of a few years back. Thats generally how the normal R&D works.

Sometimes even the easy days are hard.

agreed for 99% of use cases, heck Seth from Berm Peak is still running baby oil in one of his bikes, most people wont overheat the brake fluid on their bicycles.

If this is something you're interested in then let me know and I'll chat to the guys sitting opposite me

Racetec did provide "live" tracking for a few years, but it didnt last long and I'm not to sure how well it worked as I never used it.

Agree and disagree, at least something is in place. Hopefully it work with some sort of accuracy to be usefull. Last year my mate did Ironman in PE the week before CTCT, the Ironman app allowed me to track him the entire time even though he was not carrying a phone or using a Garmin. I'm guessing it also used some sort of predictive algorithm to estimate where he was. Oh and Garmin Live Track relies on connection to your phone, so you would need to carry both.

dis woes-dag, more is donner-dag

I think he is confused because of this

Megan, once you have that new front light, please consider using it everytime you ride on the road, regardless of ambient light at the time.

old age does that to you

Day 2, another 1h24m of run time, still on 80%. The screen seems to be slowly getting better, maybe some heat from the sun will sort it out properly. Lets just say I'm rather chuffed with the new battery, no more daily charging and "range anxiety" like i used to have.

theres an idea. most (if not all) these devices get charged via usb, so if one could utilise internal cable routing to a central point connecting to a compact usb hub that can then either be connected to a power bank for mobile charging or external usb charger for "docked" charging. currently i have a charging station setup in a drawer beside the bed, 1 usb cable supplying power to a usb hub inside the drawer, from there each device has a self retracting usb cable, but if this could all be done on the bike whilst stored in the garage that would be awesome.

I often get asked what my fastest speed i've seen on my bike, back when I was young and dumb and full on invincibility riding a steel frame with 19mm tyres I hit some crazy speeds, these days I'm a good 20km/h slower, not because I cant physically go faster, but because I cant mentally let myself go faster.

THIS being the biggest problem in this country, the laws are there, but are only enforced when its convenient and easy to do

i.e. dont pop a wheelie over the finish line because your tjip wont be aligned

1) yeah right, when ? They've been Timing 947 for the last 2 years already. 2) hopefully the children that designed the interface have developed some new skills by now and will improve it drastically in the next version.

That BL group would have been our faster of the 2 groups, I was in the second BL group

many years ago when we first started doing "the august" , 2 or 3 pink buses would pull into Fish Hoek over the same weekend. These buses were full of Swedish (at least I seem to recall them being swedish) students on some sort of back packing holiday. It sure was a sight to behold

doubt a motorbike of that age would have a tracker in it, there is a much better chance that the cyclist had some sort of GPS device tracking his ride. Also someone mentioned it was an ebike
