  1. Frosty is this still on the cards ?
  2. As with most things, one can DIY, and by all means get away with just doing DIY for a long time. And then wonder why experts charge so much if its so simple to do, but, where the experts/skills come in is when the instructions say you need to do ABC, but after doing A and B an E presents itself instead of a C. Knowing why the E is there and knowing how to get around the E so that you can get to the C is why it costs so much.
  3. how does she know what bikes cost ? And if she does know that means she a cyclist or is connected to cycling in some way. And if thats the case then she should know better than the rants in her attention seeking scribbles. And, if she knew there was a cyclist she just passed, why did she not leave a gap between the parked car and her, I dont buy her excuses. This entire thing smells of attention seeking
  4. So, after trying every day since mid december, Cell C finally have limited stock of the iphone mini, but only in white. I'm so desperate I'll take a white one. but.............. now there is some or other issue with my account that needs to be reversed. This will take 2 working days and they cannot hold stock for me.

    Riding times

    at the price of those things chucking them away is NOT an option

    Riding times

    New work is 2km from home, if I leave home at 6 on the dot I can get my 27km loop in and still have enough time to shower, eat and get to work. If I get up even slightly later then I have to limit my ride to 20km.
  7. That’s where most of my 33 odd thousand meters of elevation came from. Commuting to and from Bedfordview as well as hitting the hills there foe training.
  8. But then I have to come out to the south for every ride. Not very convenient for a quick early morning ride before work. I know SBR will give me around 1500m over 55km.
  9. A little harder to achieve up here in the big flat
  10. Well considering the amount of times I’ve done it, I’m sure I’ll have a time under similar conditions that I could compare it too.
  11. I’m just itching to test my new found fitness in a race I’ve done before, before life happens and I cut back on the cycling again.
  12. Just a short one to open the tab for 2021
  13. Oh and I forgot, 1683km of commuting put me in 11th spot for the year in the commuter challenge.
  14. Typical South African, signaled halfway through the intersection.

    Rapha Festive 500

    You can do it, don’t give up
  16. Watched episode 1 last night, hopefully it gets better, was a little drawn out for my liking.
  17. Last ride of the year. Cheers 2020, cycling wise you have been awesome. Also my fastest SOLO ride ever, been wanting to breach the 30kmh mark for a long time.

    Rapha Festive 500

    Not as many miles as you, but also my best year yet on the bike. I’m the fittest I’ve ever been, and weight down to levels last seen 20 years ago. Had I not started working again last week I would have made an attempt at the 500, but as it stands I’ll be lucky to hit the 600 mark for the entire month.
  19. Some feedback after a few months of use. They are my go to bibs for rides 60km or less, so they get used a few times a week. After a ride I climb in the shower with them and give them a wash, hanging them on the towel rail to dry for the next ride. Once a week they go into the washing machine for a cold wash. The only issue I’ve started picking up is the silicone beads on the end of the legs is rubbing off. If I run my fingers over that section I get tiny white beads stuck to my fingers. They are not as comfy as the Ciovita’s on longer rides, but way way comfier than anything else I own.
  20. Damn, ok that’s just silly of them. Heal up soon, ribs are eina. I’m still nursing a fracture, it’s not cool
  21. It’s still unclear to me, we’re the ladies that you collided with on foot/on bikes/ in a car?
