V-E-R-Y cool close-up picture, seriously, I like!

…it really was magnificent racing, those last 20km’, so happy that MVDP won it, but big props to Pog and Ganna for being in contention, at the death, so to speak!

…THIS….100%…

…in TRIATHLON, tri-bars where/are all about giving a more slipstream-profile for say 120+ km’s, especially for stronger swimmers with the shoulder-profile to match…! In RAAM, and other ultra-distance races, it is LESS about aero, and more about giving wrist and hands a break, and a REAL change of position, which ALSO happens to be aero - so aero is often a SECONDARY goal, with the primary goal being taking weight off hands, etc, and giving the body a position to ’slump’ into… Chris

Actually, Eggbeaters OFTEN benefit from the ‘contact sleeves’ supplied in 6 different sizes, to ‘cure this very issue - there are SO many shoe SOLE profiles, that some essentially make little/no contact, thus the contact sleeves. Amabubesi, 3-peat

Since you are offering EXPOSURE, I suggest you briefly mention the number/type of social media exposures you are offering… ”…Mentions and endorsements across our social media platforms…” Yes, you can thrash out details if/when you find a potential sponsor, but, for me, your “mentions & endorsements’ could use some ‘fleshing out’ to gain quick interest, such as, say: 4 or 5 social media channels, on a weekly/fortnightly basis, etc… Use it/dont use it, and good luck; RFS’s are allover at the moment; make yours POP…

on this very topic, I may buy a Gravel bike in the future, and will likely AVOID one with an integrated stem/bar combo, since for (frequent) travel, it is so much easier to remove regular bars, etc.

If riding out directly from Kalk Bay, then a road bike is likely the better choice. Enjoy! LOTS to see and do! Red Hill and Boyes Drive is good fun, as is the Millers Point Climb, and even riding in the reserve (low traffic, mostly) is cool. Chris

Well, if their positions next to the bike in this pic MIRROR their actual positions in the race, then Lady Stoker 1 aint’ seeing ANYTHING of the 108-odd kilometers CTCT, behind that giant of a man!!!

N-O underwear, please, just your tush, direct on a Chammy/Gel Pad; underwear…well…it can strangu-late ‘things’; hear this, N-O underwear whilst riding…!

eBike getting some tweaks, so its out with the Eroica ‘special’, shifters on the downtube and all…! Hout Bay - Simonstown - Hout Bay.

Omloop het Neusblad on DSTV CHANNEL 207 at 14.40 today… Chris

Curious; where will you be donating it to? Cheers Chris

Judging by the front & rear spoke- mounted reflectors in situ in the spokes, as well as the still-in-place plastic spoke guard between spokes and cassette, this bike may well have been a ladies/or else a lightly used bike; not many riders will leave those items in place (#generalisation!). Pedals, too. Bike looks in good condition.

Just a thought - if you could get someone to make you up an INEXPENSIVE f-r-a-m-e fit bag, that can carry some gear - then you only need to relocate say 1x water-bottle cage(s)... Otherwise, TEMU & co have VERY inexpensive seat-post-mounted w/proof 'out back' bags, will try and find you a pic, inexpensive as in dirt cheap, not GREAT quality, but they do work, after playing around with the strap positions - will try and dig out a picture...
