But riding bicycles is life.

Jokes aside. I will hopefully be able to ride the 2021 CTCT. Missed 2019 with shoulder fracture, missed 2020 with broken leg.

I stand corrected, thanks for the clarification

Haven't done a road race in ages, but isn't this just your typical PPA event where you use whatever seeded number you have with them if you're a member, otherwise a temp number? Things may have changed since I last participated.

Brian (BKXC) trialed these for a while sometime last year. Will try find the vids when he had them and link them.

Ah yes, see I never see those lofty heights of points because I always have more than one thing out of range. They're coming to our offices in the first week of Feb so will get it done then.

You missed the point where he implied he uses an HR monitor but his HR is too variable doing sprints. As for the second part.... NICE... I'm only on 7000

Evening rides at Conties - may have gotten locked in

None of my steps or activities are pulling through. My wife’s are but she’s not getting any points for them - just says “points not calculated yet”

So I'm guessing since SCT was cancelled this race might get an increase in popularity, pay day will come for most before entries close.

SMS came through now

EDIT: Karman beat me to it and did a better job

I just booked flights to Europe for my wife and I and saved roughly R4.5k on the price thanks to being Silver on Vitality (I had a broken shoulder and wife had numerous post cancer surgeries so our ability to get achieve higher on vitality was slightly limited otherwise would've been on a higher tier and saved more) If nothing else that justifies a whole year of paying for Vitality for me.

Almost spat out my coffee Keto man, keto is life But in all seriousness, I'm a firm believer in eating whatever tastes good and eating it like you might never get a chance to eat again

Offends me too. I have a white car and two Spaz bikes

Same for me, hoping we get some kind of half decent group. EDIT - and I only say half decent because I can't keep up with fully decent

Back on topic. This race will be my first return onto the road bike since July 2018. Got her all serviced and ready in September last year but somehow I always take the MTB out... Edit: Small milestone, but this was my 100th post

Just some evening conties adventures Had some cows slowing me down, but we made friends

When Santa does all his shopping in one place...

Last sunrise and ride of the decade, really do live in a beautiful place.

First time (surprisingly) exploring Hoogekraal. Some say the bike was busy tipping over in this picture

Well I agree with most of your sentiment. You should still be able to get points for your 18min 5k runs based on speed data from a gps watch. It's only 150 I think, but still better than 0.

I actually found the recent banter very useful, can now convince by mates that we should try black rhino even though it's graded black. Will definitely be done carefully though - I had a reminder to check myself at Conties two weeks ago. Ambition overcame ability and I got way to cheeky in cheeky corners, even managed to introduce my left cheek to one of the corners. Soft tissue sprain in the left hand and wrist meant no riding till to today, and my wrist still wasn't comfortable through the mildly rocky parts of lombards.
