The Ouzo

I’ll have uses for the other bits, I’m always taking things apart and having to make a plan because I never have the correct tool

Battery installed. device powers on and seems to work. just waiting for the glue to dry before I charge to full. decided to use Shoe Glue. oh and had to buy a set of tools in order to get a T5 torx driver. Will test how long the battery last this week.

Pre work work out

again, where there is a will there is a way

but in this 46th day of the year 2024, why the heck can nobody write a simple SQL query to pull the data from one db and add to another db ? Where there is a will there is a way, it seem like there is no will, maybe just a bunch of willys though.

Can’t see the number plate properly but it doesn’t look like an SA plate on that car

Be careful what you assume that I assume

I dont know about that, they seem to be rather touchy about defending their choice in this thread. But each to their own. This mornings group ride we had a lady on an e-bike making sure the rest of us on amish bikes were as strong as we said we were. The fact that she was out front touching 50 kph tells me it was definitely derestricted.

Ordered yesterday afternoon, received 5 minutes ago. will make time to attempt the install this weekend

DOH!!!! Looks like old age is catching up with me, losing my memory it seems. I looked it up this morning and I started in 2A last year too.

Just got an email stating they have stock again, placed an order. Shipping was much more than the actual battery, but still relatively cheap. hopefully I get it in time to install and test properly before CTCT

I’d better bring my big boy pants to Cape Town. They got me in 2A, if I can hold onto them it will be a fast one (for me). my time last year would put me in the top 100 of 2A, target time for this year would put me in the top 20. BLIKSEM!!

if I visit their Rosebank office, how long would it take for them to asses the battery on my edge 130 and offer a replacement ?

so do you then carry a second bottle with just water for hydration purposes ? because 2.5-3 servings in one bottle is not going to keep you hydrated enough.

My wife works for one of the large international Audit firms, the africa division has just started the process of culling about 30% of their workforce in SA.

I read NSBBs post as per you second point. i.e. some sort of medical reason why the person should rather ride and e-Bike. all the above speak to the fitness point in NSBBs post. Its not always a negative point though, Maybe the person just doesnt want to dedicate the hours and hours of training to be fit enough to commute to work without sweating, by all means, e-Bike is the right tool. Want to get up the mountain quicker so that you can clap more descents, go for it. but at the end of the day, the real reason boils down to fitness. And thats OK. Which is why I asked the question of you. Because to me, if you really break it down, there are on 2 reasons to ride and ebike. And I'm not saying thats a bad thing.

This concoction was easy to drink, but I found it did not give my body what it needed on longer rides.

Chris, please explain if this thinking is wrong

re: FinishTime They seem to be a problem every race they do the timing for. So how do we, as the end user, vote for change ? Ordinarily you'd vote with your wallet, but if we want to do the races thats not really an option. Mass emails to the event organisers ? Mass emails to FinishTime ?

IMHO no need to for the more expensive Race Pro, the normal Race does the job for most of us. Even when I'm redlining it for an entire Grand Fondo, Race works for me. (although I do supplement with energy gel)

It’s finish time. The duffed everything. I can’t understand how it’s so bloody difficult to get something right that others have been doing for 20 years. oh and again, they must have not had much awareness around road closures etc. for this race, my sister stays just off of Cedar, when we met for lunch today she asked what was happening, she had no idea there was a race on.

And we added springs just to make sure

Tour van Spanner City this morning

ok, so they were getting the dust and cobwebs off last week in anticipation for the above.
