The Ouzo

I pronounce it the same as you, used in the same context. I'm going to Vye cycling.

has anyone got the split time calculator ? I know there was one last year, but searching just doesnt seem to find it for me.

Glad you're sorted. The water proofing is my biggest concern. I have yet to test mine in a heavy downpour, so far there is no indication that light showers and sweat have gotten into mine.

I got up, heard the lite drizzle when I was putting on my kit. Light drizzle I can handle, went out to get the bike and saw the dark clouds filled with lightning coming from your side of the world. I knew what was headed my way. Put the bike back and climbed straight back into bed.

Yep

Long Term Forecast

oops, also did not read properly

Long term prediction.

its better than yesterdays forecast, lets see how it changes as the days go by. traditionally its a rainy week leading up to the race.

guys please tread carefully with the politcal talk, we dont want one of the better non cycling threads to be removed too

I'll wait for Epic Ride weather to be able to forecast for the day (currently its to far into the future for a forecast from ER) i just hope the wind that we've been having lately stays away on the day.

This is what scares me as the pace heats up. At my age I have no appetite for tumbles, my body no longer heals quickly. We had a similar incident on our group ride saturday morning. +/- 45km/h, I hear wheels locking up ahead, next thing there is a bike in the air and bodies hitting the deck. I think if I did not have a little breathing room between me and the guy infront of my I would also have gone down. the guy front right of me was the last guy to hit the deck, and he clipped my leg on his way down, fortunately I was headed off the tar to the left already so as to avoid the bike sliding on the tar directly infront of me.

I know personally, I only joined the PPA back in 1999 because it gave me a better start time for my first Argus, I remained a member for about 5 years after that, but soon realised that up in Joburg they have no presence, I was getting nothing out of being a member. So I stopped renewing.

and the fact that you can link an Excel spreadsheet to intervals.icu opens up a world of possibilities for custom graphs and tracking.

I'm sure they just round off to the nearest 500m

hills dont get easier, you just get up them faster.

Is anyone still using the Elevate for Strava app ? Since yesterday I've been having a problem with it and was wondering if it was only on my side.. On the activities page it not longer pulls through estimated Watts and on the Year Progression page it just throws up an error. i've tried to clear and re-synch activities but it has not helped.

To my first 1000km month Also smashed my PB up a hill that I previously set motor pacing a truck.

I absolutely loved the wet one. But that was because I dropped back start groups and started 30 minutes later than I was seeded. I then proceeded to pull an ever growing bunch from the Blue route to the top of Smits Winkel. Felt like a real hero. For the rest of the ride I assisted a mate to get to the end.

I think its a combination of factors adding to the double digit % increases. Just look at how you monthly household expenses have increased over the same period.

If I recall correctly, @Frosty did his first one at 6

i.e. Gun to Finish Mat is your race time.

fixed that for you

just a minor adjustment for start and finish

Road bike Chain : KMC X11 15 000km on previous one Chain rings : Shimano 105 - Currently at 32 000km , starting to show signs of wear Cassette : Shimano 11-32 - Previous one lasted 14 500km I wipe off once a week (+/- 200km) and re-apply Squirt. Nothing more fancy than that.
