Okay I asked him about it, apparently if you brand the vehicle it can be claimed as a marketing / advertising expense to the company 🤷‍♂️

I don't know, I might even have the story totally wrong maybe you have to brand it if you buy it through the company? I'm no financial expert I can only tell you what he told me 🙂

He bought the vehicle through his company and if you brand it "magnetic decals" it becomes tax deductible or that is the story he told us. Edit: Okay I asked him about it, apparently if you brand the vehicle it can be claimed as a marketing / advertising expense to the company.

I have a mate who bought a brand new Defender just last week for his wife and he did not finance it. The rich are still rich and the poor are still poor. It's the middle class that's disappearing.

Guess it boils down to social status.

Not sure but thats what it looked like 🤦‍♂️

Motorists vs Cyclists.... again

As an older guy who have had similar experiences in the past- the only advice I can give you is to hang in there. Bad times like anything else doesn't last forever and it will eventually pass.

I'm small business owner and my biggest problem at the moment is getting my clients to pay their invoices on time. We've been going for just over 20 years and this is the worst its ever been.

People are struggling the cost of living Is through the roof.

We might as well then claim Jan Frodeno as well.

I think the heat might be his kriptonite, lots of sweat marks on his bib. But I have new respect for him after listening to his post race interview today. Love his attitude.

Pogacar seems very strong almost on another level, reminds me of Lance.

Maybe have a look at one of the Camping or Outdoor shops.

I had the same issue on my SLX 12spd, had to get it serviced after about a month and I'm a dirt roadie 70% of my milage are on tar roads.

Race Pro is "supposed" to be a single feed bottle. You make a concentrate according to your calorie requirements. In other words no other fuel. I think if you are going to mix it up there are cheaper alternatives.

The biggest problem for me was taste fatigue. I'll use it again on shorter rides but for anything longer than 5hrs I'm going back to solid food.

My 2c I used Race Pro for Race to the Sun two weekends ago, I forced 18 scoops into a 750ml bottle. The product works as advertised wasn't too thick and the taste was okay. I was out there for about 7hrs never felt hungry and energy levels were fine. But I don't think I'll use it for such a long ride again, I got tired of the taste very quickly and had to force it down after a couple hours and you need to take a lot of water with it as well. If it's a hot day and there are no water tables to refill your extra bottle/camelbak it might become a problem.

this is one of my biggest gripes with ebikes - they create a false sense of accomplishment. I have a two "mates" who ride eMTBs and they have done most of the larney races like Tour de Tuli, Wine to Wales, JHB2C, Sani2C, etc... And at social meeting they always have the biggest mouths telling everyone how easy or how tough the rides were and how well they did in their age groups and how they smashed their previous times but they never mention that they did it on ebikes.

lol... so much for "over and out"? 🤣😂

could be worse 😉

Saw some Sani pics this morning and I was wondering how waterproof are ebikes? If not the guys must have been very nervous on the flouting-bridges.

@DuncanDoughnuts lol... cry me a river! He can just buy two motorbikes.

Did Race to the Sun a couple weekend ago and we had the same problem. Was actually dreadful along some of the sections.
