Stockman

I think my 1030 might disagree! 😃

So after 8 years on my trusted Scalpel that enjoyed many an upgrade during that time. Probably could have bought another two with the money spent. I was given a no brainer trade in at my LBS on the purchase of this beauty. Switched over my crank and power meter, the Spez Saddle and the Riser Bars and boy she is a super machine. As comfy as can be, with very different handling. Have subsequently change the rubber to something that rolls a little quicker and easier for the longer flatter rides.

Half as easy, you still have to either get to the start or from the finish, depending on where you live. From PE it was pretty costly!

Yes, it certainly is an event that I will never forget. We have many chats about those 9 days. The thing is, apart from the pretty hefty entry fee, the cost of the logistics is at the very least an additional R15k. Flights, accommodation before and after, bike transport and services, etc.

Bordering on a top guy then! ????

Don't think so, the top guys are just way ahead.

61st, roughly 27 sec behind Greg.

Spot on!

Is it just me or are there others that get a tad irritated when receiving an email advertising an event and when you pop into the website, you pretty much have to go through the entry process before you can find the pricing? Why not just say upfront- For just R6500.00 you can enjoy a 3 day ride in the heart if the wherever! Then I’ll decide whether I want to spend the next 15 minutes reading the where and when!

When your wake up tells this message, your bike takes you nowhere! ????

Up to the Cliffs at Morgan Bay from Kei Mouth!

I use this https://www.takealot.com/action-mounts-aluminium-handle-bar-bike-mount/PLID42525506?gclid=Cj0KCQiAtqL-BRC0ARIsAF4K3WEM0AXKMpUX6B_tn4ci4tg4ByJW9IdbbX0wZpavyW_pU202JQJQHkMaApYlEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds mount and the attachment provided with the Bontrager light to fit in a GoPro type fitting. Works well.

This is THEE sexiest bike I have ever seen!

I haven't read the whole thread, but have also had size fluctuation. With so-called top brands, 2XU jumps to mind. However, we as a training group have recently (on two occasions) bought custom cycling kits from SISU. Now that is a top brand. Great bibs and super quality tops. Sizing spot on! Highly recommended.

21-180-42, gives me a cold shiver! I spent almost the same time ‘running’ as I did riding last year. I too am seriously doubtful November will happen, but luckily deferred to March. Even March could be in doubt. Meanwhile we focus on Trans Baviaans in Jan??

I have a similar story, but had already entered so deferred to 2021. Quite keen now to do it in 2020, hope I can move it back if the running is OK. I would imagine they need a little time to update their records as some pull out or deferr.

Sounds like 15 November is being considered. We wait.........!

Apparently, (not confirmed) the IM management having a meeting with Dept, of Health today to determine whether the event will take place. I am sure those that have entered, will be advised as soon as a decision is made. Holding thumbs that it goes ahead for all those who have trained so hard!!! We'll be there to support, loud shouting, but sadly no High Fives this year!!!!!

Team Tissink. Great for beginner and advanced training.

Three Little Birds ...........

Both Mine and Mrs S got 12 speed upgrades recently. XT and SLX.

The coastlines are joined!

And then my Achilles decides to insert a little tear which has scuttled the Africa Series hopes for 2020! So ...... No East London, deferred IM to 2021. Maybe do Durban 70.3. Start again! Best of luck to all those doing EL and then in particular FULL PE. I'll be there to support! Happy training!

Marine Drive Port Elizabeth this morning!

Yip, my 810 became an 820 for a sum of around R2k.
