Decided to get the “real thing” after messing around and wasting my money on cheap alternatives...

My partner rode a good 65km Amashova on Sunday and now is keen to join me in riding in the CTCT, only to find out that entries closed on Saturday! Is there any chance that the deadline might be extended or are late entries a possibility? Perhaps a substitution entry is the only option - if so, how does one go about that?

Popped in to see the Queen for tea, but she was not in...

I flew to the UK to ride in the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 and picked these up at Evans Cycles for £60.

Decided to pimp my bike with some new bar tape today.

Start times are now on Racetec.

I’ve just entered - sounds like a lot of fun!

Here is a video of my entire CTCT ride. I uploaded it earlier in this thread, but I discovered later that the data was not synced to the video, so this is a revised video.

Just did a bit of essential shopping for our trip from Durban to Cape Town next weekend!

Seedings are out. I'm starting in batch 3G at 7.41am.

I certainly don't have that problem - I have my Garmin Edge 520 set to auto-pause, and my Strava results reflect the pauses as well.

I started in the GL batch at 7.35am and my race came to an unceremonious end after 63km, after I suffered my third puncture of the race! I had used both my spare tubes and bombs, so I had no option but to bail after the third puncture. https://youtu.be/_m1H4qvret0

After cycling on the road with a mountain bike for years, sometimes with knobblies and sometimes with slicks, I eventually bought myself a proper road bike, a Giant TCR 3 Composite. I took it for its first ride with the club this morning, a 60km route with lots of hills, and I was amazed at how different it is to a mountain bike!
