  1. Great, I would avoid Murray's loop, it's quite technical towards then end and there is also a loop just after the top of the first big climb on your left that I would also avoid, other than that it's all rideable.
  2. It's just up my road so I go there regularly. Definitely give it a try. The best part (IMO) is Mars Bars, 6.6km of flowing flatish single track.
  3. OR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SEA RESCUE – NSRI – STATION 30, Agulhas SEA RESCUE – Riviersonderend – Sunday, 22 October. 2 cyclists on the Rhino Run assisted: Reinard Geldenhuys, NSRI Agulhas station commander, said: At 12h08, Sunday, 22 October, NSRI Agulhas duty crew were activated to assist Overberg Emergency Services responding to the Riviersonderend River, at Jongenskloof, near to Riviersonderend, at a bridge crossing at the river, where an adult female cyclist was trapped in a tree on the flooded river. An adult male cyclist had used the floatation of his camel water pack to escape the flooded river but he had lost his bicycle in the process, he raised the alarm, while the females bicycle was submerged near to where she had climbed a tree to escape the flood waters. We believe, while taking part in the Rhino Run, from Plettenberg Bay to Windhoek, they were crossing the road flooded by the river, when they got into difficulties in the fast flowing water. The river had flooded during heavy rains that were forecast by SAWS (South African Weather Services) An NSRI Agulhas swift water rescue team responded to Bredasdorp Fire and Rescue Services fire station and from the there the NSRI Agulhas swift water rescue team, Overberg Fire and Rescue Services rescue divers and Overberg Disaster Risk Management responded to Riviersonderend to join WC Government Health EMS and the SA Police Services on the scene. Ropes were secured across the river to create a secure platform to affect a rescue operation. 4 NSRI swift water rescue swimmers and a Fire rescue diver reached the female in the tree, securing her into a life-jacket, and wading her safely through the river using the ropes for safety they brought her safely through the river to the river bank. Both of their bicycles were recovered. They were not injured and the rescuers helped them to clean, oil and make small repairs to their 2 bicycles and both cyclists, riding the Rhino Run together, both from Johannesburg, continued on their way.
  4. I use the Companion app all the time, in fact I use it for my BlueTooth connections to the trainer and HRM, find it way more stable than connecting directly to my PC that runs Zwift, never had issues. I mainly use the companion app to chat to other riders, take photos etc.
  5. When I went down for the D90 I took Reitz route and still a couple of detours, first one not too bad, next one was I think about 6km and will depend on what car you driving. On the way back I went via Heilbron and Sasolburg. Quiet road no issues, pleasant drive.
  6. Looks like about 6km directly north of the Knysna Elephant park.
  7. He has been found by helicopter, lying still in the bushes but arms waving. He is being airlifted to hospital.
  8. I believe they were cycling to Suikerbosrand.
  9. End of Kipling Road -26.007730934846176, 28.069851574738617
  10. More than enough, I used Zwift at 25mbps for a long time without any issues.
  11. I cycled up the climb they are about to attempt back in 2018, was an awesome ride.
  12. My 2cents, I gave up on BT via the PC, I run Zwift on the PC and then connect via the companion app on my iphone and never had an issue for over a year now (touch wood).
  13. What is even more strange is that some people upload the same Zwift ride from Zwift and from another device such as Garmin and then both count towards the leaderboards!
  14. Try connecting your trainer (and HRM) via the companion app (Bluetooth) on your phone and continue to run Zwift on your laptop. Start companion app, switch on your trainer then start Zwift on your laptop. It's how I run mine and (touch wood) never had an issue.
