    Not quite cycling, but it is a video that makes me want to ride..... my surfboard! (and the quality of the camera work is beyond spectacular!) https://vimeo.com/108799588

    Welcome Willhelm! LBS = Local Bike Shop Not sure if there is one in Citrusdal, but I would start with asking some locals there for a bike shop name and address or perhaps a hardware store that sells bike parts, if no LBS exists.... Good luck!

    Benky is a bit of endurance animal and well known for it in the KZN circles. He has done a couple of solo unsupported everesting efforts. He eats cement for breakfast and lives rule 5!

    Yoh! This will ruin a chaps December plans and budget! Does this unit include the HR on the wrist option?

    I'm holding out for the Fenix 3. Think I'll give myself a reward in the New Year!

    Went to the Wavescape film festival on the beach on Saturday evening. Got this pic whilst having drinks at sunset...

    Hi Leonora, You would probably get far better response if you start a separate thread regarding this and mention the name of the event, as there's likely to be many events that happened across the country on that date. You might also want to encourage people to send you a PM (personal message) rather than posting your mobile number directly on an open forum! I would edit the post above and remove that if I were you. Hope you get some feedback and welcome to the hub!

    I've almost exclusively run in Nike and then their Pegasus range. The only other running shoes I've owned are the Asics Kinsei which I did some short runs in when I was getting back into it a few years ago. Looking at the Vitality Shoe Booster option as a worthwhile trick for the beginning of next year when I start shopping! Strava says I have done just over 700clicks in my current Pegasus.

    Yes on the allergy test, no on the immunisation. If I told you what I'm allergic to, you wouldn't believe the irony! Now you're trying to figure out what would be ironic... Haha. OK, I'll just say it. Given where I stay, what are the chances, but I'm allergic to fynbos! Can you Adam and Eve that???? (Was tough getting to this message after having just read Anthony's post on the ghost bike thread!....)

    Yoh, I'm slogging through some runs at the moment! The past week has been hectic at work and my hay fever is flaring up something crazy! Sleep happens but I'm not feeling rested when I get up and it's been an epic mental struggle to get out and run! Feeling heavy, slow and completely out of rhythm and the fogginess of the hay fever is like a cruel mistress that teases you with the desire to just walk instead!

    Economies of scale make it so that they will never be able to attempt securing this spot. The only people using it are cyclists and pedestrians on the path. The volumes will never make it so that it has a full time presence. That's just not viable. Hence me saying earlier, it's really a planning fault as it was an easy option to use this, but very little thought went into the surrounding area and services and what it would attract!

    I rode on the N1 for 8 years before the lanes were even an option. If I have to ride out that way and I'm not specifically meeting someone on the path before the hotspot, I still prefer riding the N1. It 'feels' safer. I still cannot phathom why the cycle path goes through this section! Whoever the planner was who did this clearly did not get any feedback from the user group who he designed this for! There is nothing they can do given the way the setup is under the N1 to increase traffic flow and eyes on the area to increase safety. With the new squatters moving in, it'll only degenerate more and faster! If you're heading towards town from Tableview, the cycle path should carry on straight past Steven Johnson cars on that verge all the way past the harbour against the fence into the bottom of town. Problem solved.

    Hello! Welcome back!

    Is TomTom now accepted for heart rate points?? Heard a rumour....

    Dropping the Team Vitality gig for 2017 and taking club membership with KWay VOB in Cape Town. Seems like this running thing is growing on me! Heck I've even forgotten how my knees felt after the CT Marathon and I've been making some great improvements in my running stride which are allowing me to add some pain free mileage! I'm even climbing up the leaderboard on the Strava group and putting some of you confirmed Comrades entrants to shame ekse! Gonna keep doing a mileage block for the next couple of weeks and then focus on speed work so that I can attempt to run my fastest 5K in early January which will coincide with my 50th Parkrun and the tool that got me back into this all in the first place!

    Enjoying this thread. Went hunting through some other pics on my phone... (Yep, I tend to take photos before or after a surf or cruising around the city when something interesting in the colouring or composition catches my eye!)

    If a bunch of you from Strava on the Comrades group get a follow request from some hooligan with a surname that makes his nickname obviously "The Grim", it's me! (Those on the leaderboard without the privacy setting I just followed ekse!)

    Haven't been on my bike in 5 months.... Was averaging 250kms plus a week on the bike before then with roughly 2 runs a week around that. Like others have mentioned, it became a time thing for me since May. I'm doing a post grad until July next year and the youngest of my two daughters has decided she would rather live with me full time, so the combo of the two changes have meant that there just is not 2 spare hours in the morning or afternoon to fit in a proper 50kay ride during the week, whilst a hard 35 - 45 min run is an option with something longer on the weekend! (Especially when the surf is not firing!) I dropped off my DC team 4 months ago when I noticed it is just not viable from a schedule perspective and the goal they are chasing after! I have even deliberately not entered the Argus for next year, after 11 consecutive rides with 5 others from previous years, so it would've been my 17th if I rode next year, but know myself well enough that if I entered I would've wanted to train really hard for it! Busy getting my jollies off doing a few running races during this stage and enjoying the change of scenery!

    Firstly congrats dude! Clearly we are all bummed that each of us did not win and right now we're bathing in envy! Enjoy the ride!!!! Secondly, we EXPECT a pic of said winning bike to be posted on your couch, as this is a tradition that is sacred for new bikes and hub members! Thirdly, we are a creative bunch who smaak a chuckle like no one's business and will go to lift selfie type extremes to take the p1$$ in your absence....
