    my bike has taken me nowhere for the last 4 days. Friday is my rest day. Saturday woke up and could not motivate myself to get on the bike. I knew I should as Sunday would be a short ride due to us hosting my dads 75th birthday at my place. I would need to get the spit going early. After finishing sorting out the yard at 7pm on Saturday I was stuffed, Sunday morning I was still feeling tired so skipped Sunday too. Monday is an early day at the office so no time to ride. I wish I could say I've given my body 4 days of rest, but with all the running around before, during and after the party I'm feeling buggered.

    Nope, there are steeper. (although this pic probably doesnt show the true steepness)
  3. The Ouzo
    its from 3A onwards

    As mentioned by Robert, check the beam width. Depending on what you're using it for your needs might differ. I have the Lezyne Smart 1000XL on my road bike. Very happy with it at speeds below 30km/h, over that and I feel there is not enough light. What I like about it though is that turning the headlight on also turns the tail light on, and also you can customise the 4 modes and there sequence to your needs.

    It would need to be more than just a pedal assist.

    in order for me to do 2:22:22 I'd need that recumbent with an engine

    Coming to the comrades soon
  10. The Ouzo
    I like my 2:99:99 from last year.
  11. The Ouzo
    The point on the map, is this where it happened ?
  12. The Ouzo
    Thats the gearing I used for my first 2 CTCT, I then changed the 21 for a 23 going forward. HTFU is what its about, sounds like you're to used to your granny

    +1 on not dong the mall thing just yet. The requirements from mall management plus the costs will likely kill you before you start. Shed/Garage/Wendy house or even a mini factory will be a better bet for starting out.

    Flat out Thursday Edit: I see Strava says I got a Top 10 of all time on an 8km section this morning, looking at that segment I was not flat out through there this morning and still slowed for a truck.
  15. The Ouzo
    Congestion hasn’t started by then yet, you should be fine.
  16. The Ouzo
    still to far out to take any weather predictions seriously at this stage though.

    Little Zone 1 ride on my normal loop
  19. The Ouzo
    That was a very interesting article. Thanks. I learnt something today.

    If I had to word that in a PC manner it would be a full paragraph. But like wise from the opposite end you cannot assume that because somebody's outward appearance looks normal and they are riding an e-bike that they have other challenges.

    started watching In From the Cold. Pretty good so far.
  22. The Ouzo
    so like a boeitjie from boksburg in his bakkie then

    I could probably do with shorter cranks, currently have 175mm that came with the bike, but budget constraints are preventing me from changing them. But even so, on my older bikes with 172.5 cranks my comfortable cadence has always been mid 80s.
  24. The Ouzo
    thats some serious cadence. I'm usually sitting in mid 80s, although I am consciously trying to up it
  25. The Ouzo
    everybody knows your time in the august is the only time that counts, why would you not be racing then ?
