    I must say. One of the better goodie bags in a while. Not saying much. But not bad

    DC , Ironman 70.3 Mosselbay, Ultra Trail Cape Town and 94.7 are all on one weekend.

    I started in the 2B, did 3:30 and I passed him when he was waiting in the finishing straight. I was very surprised to see an e-biker knowing their rules. So started in 1C but did the 3:50 I guess. Only some rules apply to him.

    Did the Expo run yesterday. Parked at P1. The closest one to the stadium. Finished Expo at about 18:00 , got the trainers on and the wife and I went for a run on the Promenade. Came back at 19:05 to see that there had been broken into our car and her cellphone and bankcards were stolen. Very expensive Argus this one. Be watchfull

    Bit sad and confused at why events don't take each other into a count. This year IM 70.3 Mosselbay, Double Century and Ultra Trail Cape Town are all on the same weekend. Yes, maybe the crowds/markets are a bit different, but still. Has become a tradition to do Mosselbay on the Sunday, and then do Double Century the next Saturday. Maybe someone knows why Mosselbay has been moved a week later than normal?

    I am basically doing the opposite this year. Did Argus on a tandem the last three years with my wife. Favourite event of the year every year. Spending some qaulity time with the misses. She unfortunately broken her arm during a ride late December and hasn't recovered enough to ride yet. Bit nervous as I haven't really raced the race before. Starting in 2B after a fairly good Winelands. Hopefully getting close to 3:10. Next year we will be back on the Drommedaris.

    I am not complaining. Had a good race and won the big prize at the lucky draw afterwards, so wil for sure be back in 2027. Thanks to the organisers!

    Did my second DC as part of "Loerie Bakery" mixed team. One half from George and the other half from Paarl. Unbelievable how eventhough only meeting up on Friday evening, this event can bond a group of individuals. Got in it at 7:17 with a legit Charles Milner. I don't understand people waiting at the end for teammates they dropped on first witch. Isn't the Charles Milner about helping the ones who cramped or just struggled with the heat? We stucked together well and having a bakery as sponsor, was unbelievable at the team zones! Got learned a lesson by a couple of more senior team mates with same serious ballie strenght and experience. Definently one of my favourite events of the year. Just wish it wasn't the week after 70.3 Mossel Bay every year. Also a bit lower temps and no block headwind would have been great, but then it wouldnt have been DC! Unbelievable to see the top teams come by. After all the KoTAS talk, I eagerly waited to see who would past first. No race recaps from the KoTAs teams? Really intrested in finding out what happened on the day for each time! Now rest and maybe Rapha this year.

    So the only 5min I didn't spend refreshing the DC website, I missed the seeding. Well thats just great

    I agree to all the above! If possible add a TV to your setup. Much more immersive on the big screen. On longer easier rides I have TP Virtual running on the tablet with a movie, series or some or other event on the TV. Helps the time tick away. Just remember 1 hour on an indoor trainer is eqaul to 9 days in the real world

    Hello hubbers Shocked this morning when my Wahoo Kickr snap had no power. After a couple of minutes, concluded that the issue is with the power brick. I have been using the unit since 2020 and it has been used regulary. Last ride Thursday evening. My question is the following. - Do I need to replace with a Wahoo brick or are there any generic versions? - is there any stores that stock? Thank you in advance! Enjoy Le Tour

    Those Nachos were worth the 109k.

    Did my 6th CTCC and third on a tandem called the Drommedaris with my wife. Must say this is my and her favourite race of the year. Also saying that this is her only cycling race every year. After a taking our tandem out of the garage for the first time since 2024 CTCT, we did a nice 17km bike check on Friday. Sunday my wife was a beast and we finished in our PB time of 3:46 out of 2C. We love the highway to Muizenberg, only time I would ever be able to pull a bunch 😅 Really love the camaderie between the tandems. Kudos to all the dads with kids. Especially the 3 dads with 3 tandems and 3 kids doing it together. Think I saw you should have started in # and rather did the ride with your kids. Thats the dream and why I will keep the tandem. Maybe without the squeky duck on the front for 109km And if you were ever wondering, a tandem does fit on the roof of a Jimny. Well sort of.

    Enjoy CC. Also in Cape Town CBD. About R1000 cheaper than Ciovota and of a very good qaulity. Have done a full IM and about 4 70.3s in one of theirs, with no issues.

    @ChrisF you do get two raceboards yes! Two timing boards one front and one back to register for each riders time (which is obviously the same) and two of those small numbers for the handlebars. Last year my time didn't register, but after query I got awarded my stokers, a.k.a the misses, time. Bonus, you even get two of the amazing racepacks. We didn't know wat to do with all the goodies last year. 🤣 6th Argus this year, 3rd on the Tandem with my wife. Not divorced yet, but I know we will be asked that question about 200 times during our 4 hour Cruise. And yes. I know she isn't really pedaling.

    Hello everybody. Anybody maybe have a Bay to Bay 30k ticket they might want to let go? Missed the entries and need one for the wife! Please let me know.
  17. Heina13
    Maybe try the Merida Range at Bikeaddict. A lot of bike within your price range. I am on a Reacto 4000 with a couple of friends on the Scultura 4000s. Looking at a new bike between 30 and 40. That's a lot of bang for your buck.

    Did my first DC this year! Great experience. Our social Tri Group entered a mixed team and went for the Milner and did a respectable 7:30 odd. Definitely seeded wrong (not sure how the seeding works, but I should have asked for a earlier start) but didn't take away from the day. We had guys who did IM and members who haven't cycled further that 110ks. Finishing 12 strong is special and we will surely be back.

    Zama Order one from Enjoy in Cape Town. Our Triathlon Club uses their TriSuites and I am very happy with them. I have done 3 70.3s and the full in my suite and it is still perfect. Price is also great! Much cheaper than a Ciovita or 2XU but the same quality. I think price is the same as a First Accent, but I would for sure rather go for the Enjoy one.

    As I am getting desperate, I was wondering if there was maybe a hubber who had an entry for the GunRun and could maybe not run anymore? See entries got capped this year at 8000 and sold out very early. A lot of people looking for entries and a lot of scammers on the FB site of Gun Run. Been running the event since 2018 and would be sad to miss. As this is always prep for Cape Town Marathon a month later.
  21. Heina13
    Thank you! How do I activate it.?
  22. Heina13
    Does the rest week need to be activated or does it automatically kick in if you dont make a goal?
  23. Heina13
    Unbelievable! Doing Ironman , Oceans and Comrades in one year is a true achievement! I wouldnt have been able to IM after a full Oceans or even thought about doing Comrades! Especially with the conditions we got at PE. Getting a silver on top of that, really something special!

    Hello everybody. Doing Ironman in April and I am looking to rent some racewheels for the day. Any suggestions on companies in the Western Cape? I can't seem to find any. Any help would be appreciated.

    Just more than 70 days to IM and 70.3PE. Looking at options to rent some racewheels? Anybody know about a company who does rentals for a week or so? Preferably Cape area.
