  1. Discovery medical savings plans have gone backwards the last few years. For 2024 the savings was dropped another 5% on all plans. Thats why you are out of savings so early this year. Compare the Core to the Savings and a few thousand rand of your premium for the year goes to "admin". We switched to a Core plan for 2024. The savings amount goes into separate banking account. Account and transaction fees in the order of R15 per month. Well worth the effort to do the maths.
  2. How hot was it today ? Thought the real heat is only coming mid week ...
  3. Ouch !!! 88km stage and so many dont continue 😵
  4. That, and the increasing number of 50+ people doing their first CTCT. 21 may not be a realistic goal for some of us.
  5. I am glad they added the 10. Gives me something to work towards.
  6. How are you doing down under ? Please remind us where you are at now. Have friends that went over end of last year. Few hours West of Adelaid, small coastal town. Their photos .... WOW !!
  7. Would be nice if they would just confirm as such .... not that I am in their target market.
  8. Uhmmmmm .... As mush as I AGREE with you .... using the "WT" as a meter for what is safe .... only thing we know from their behaviour is what is beneficial to performance ....
  9. At least you got a few people to take a second look at their water bottles ... The better bottles, at least as per the sign on the bottom, will hopefully be okay .... Best to throw out the flimpsy cheap non-stamped stuff .... As for health and exercise ... feels like I am now spending more time at the physio and bio than I did when I was a certified couch potato .... but by all the modern metrics I am now healthier ....
  10. Based on the 2024 CTCT website there are two seeding events in Joburg https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.capetowncycletour.com/lifecycle-week/ctct/pre-race-information/seeding-and-seeding-events/&ved=2ahUKEwiXmpLo6vuEAxX1TEEAHe2_DNwQFnoECB4QAQ&usg=AOvVaw1cqqa_3RjopXFk3eKqPqgQ HOWEVER - Vines and Views is a local seeding event, but not listed on their website. So the question remains, are there any more upcountry seeding events ?
  11. Sharing the weekend with friends from outside the Western Cape is such a pleasure ! "We" (the locals) get into a comfort zone, and we look past the beauty of the Western Cape. What an wake-up call when we see you appreciate what we have. The saddest part is the locals that do the race and rush home .... 2023 I got to experience the post race vibe, while we waited for the tannie. Overseas visitors walking up to us as we sat at the restaurant ... start talking like old friends, just because we are follow cyclists. 2024 walking down to the V&A Waterfront and spending the afternoon with friends. Still cant believe we walked back, and up the hill to the B&B with by then 120km in the legs, so fast ... What an absolute eye opener !!! Baie dankie dat julle my dorp met my deel
