The Ouzo

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

53km actually, everyone knows you only count in multiples of 5 No you dont lose the data, its save up until it turns off, so when you turn it back on again it says ride in progress, once you acknowledge you can then stop the ride and it uploads what it saved. A manual entry for the last 8km was done.

Just a short 50 today after yesterday’s quick 50. Haven’t charged the Garmin for a week, it died with 8km to go.

are you planning on walking it ? or stopping at every coffee shop along the way ? you've got a 3 hour 947 in those legs

There will be weather that day for sure. Hopefully the weather gods smile on us again this year, I'm aiming to take 17 minutes off my previous time.

So 10 weeks to go, is it to soon to start talking about the goodie bags I see at least they are offering the photos for free this time

Its the same narrative every time, Your are your own worst enemy We wont listen to you until you behave blah blah blah i dont disagree, but its time to move past this.

CO2 bombs dont hold CO2 for ever. I've been carrying a couple of bombs on the bike for a long time now, on Sunday I got my first puncture in a very long time (remember to top up your sealant people). I tried both bombs, neither of them had any CO2 left in them. Lesson learnt

A hard club ride this morning. And first puncture in over 9000km. Remember to top up your sealant, it won’t seal if it’s not there. 🤦‍♂️

My F*K Marelize

Honda oens praat oor heupvervanging

Is she still there ? Last few times I went there she was not there.

I remember the name, dont recall the details of it though

Thanks Nick, option 1 worked for me. I was wondering what was happening.

My first job fresh out of college was at a market research company, laptops and digital projectors we scifi tech back then, so all the reports and graphs were presented to the clients on one of these. Being the only IT person in the company I had to assist with printing hundreds of transparencies for the director each time he needed to take to the client and present. We had to store the transparencies in the fridge because they would curl from the heat if left in the offices, once curled they would not feed through the inkjet printer.
