The Ouzo

Got a customer who's company is involved with the Red Bull thing in Sandton this morning. He sent me some pics from Kyalami today.

yeah, no moderation CAN work, and its great when it does, but it only takes 1 or 2 individuals to stuff things up so bad the entire forum becomes a ghost town. I've been part of such forum and its sad to see the state it is in now after basically everyone left. As much as sometimes I'd like a little more freedom here, I understand the other side of the coin. Where does one draw the line.

I get where SwissVan is coming from, 1 guy dominating the season, given the sketchy history of doping in cycling it does make a person question this dominance. For cycling's sake i hope he is clean, cycling does not need another doping scandal.

Some guys Zone 2 is other Zone 4

Gentle ride today. Nice to have the sun out on the way home.

Its a short segment on a flat open piece of road. I cant answer the rest of the questions, i dont even know if both devices were from the same manufacturer. I just thought it was interesting as we know there are accuracy errors and this clearly shows them. How and why those errors occurred is a discussion I dont know enough to get involved in.

We all know that our devices are not 100% accurate and all sorts of things affect their accuracy whilst we ride. But I thought this was interesting from a group ride this week. A couple on a Tandem put this screen shot on their strava. Same segment, the faster time was the person at the back.

I'm looking for the start batch times for last year, does anyone have a link or have them handy ?

when you are on a group ride with people you hardly know and you over hear them talking about something they saw on bikehub, you realise just how big this platform is.

looks like I timed my rest days perfectly. Tomorrow is set to be freezing and windy

Ouzo since day one, only added "The" this year when someone called me "The Ouzo" and I decided to make the change

my profile says I joined in 2009, but I remember coming here a number of times before that and participating in the many cars vs cyclists threads.

I can already feel the wind coming off the ocean

those SA racing days also produced some legendary cars that are sought after world wide, XR8 as mentioned (my dad nearly bought one, if it wasnt for the styling, landed up with the 3.0 GLX instead) Superboss 325iS GTV 6 3.0 and a bunch more, but all of these are fetching some crazy numbers when swapping hands right now, and many are landing up in europe. Dad and I used to head there most racing weekends, skottle braai breakfast by the Wesbank grand stands, we'd leave the skottle there unattended until heading back down to make lunch. We'd mostly leave the track before all racing was finished in order to avoid the traffic on Allandale, but those days you could get home, turn on SABC 3 or 4 and continue watching every minute of every race live.

Some bling tyres. Same as what I had on, these just have a reflective strip. Some new rim tape. A new KMC X11
