So the reseller is taking the risk of the stock sitting for a while, and putting their markup as the premium for taking on that risk? For some of these examples that has been a bit steep to me. But people value money differently, especially around hobbies.

This is what got me thinking about how I can do it better. Soft brush and Garden Spray bottle already seem like good additions to my bucket routine for the road bike, leaving the hosepipe and harder brush for when I play in the mud with my MTB.

With water becoming a problem in several parts of our country, what are some ways that a proper bike wash can be done while wasting as little as possible water? Some questions that I have been trying to figure out, and would like to find out the "HUB wisdom" on: How ofter to wash the bike? (after every ride, when visibly dirty, when it starts making crunchy noises) Different techniques or methods that can be used? (pressure wash, hosepipe, bucket and sponge) Products that work well with little water? (sunlight vs expensive bike cleaners) Any difference between different bikes? (Dry road ride vs muddy MTD fun) Any other ideas, tips or videos? We recently got a warning in PE to boil the water before drinking as the dam levels are now so low that extra untreated water needs to be added to the system. So I am trying to find a balance between not wasting water and not destroying my bikes with lack of care.

Flat wheel?

Might have you squeeling on any downhill,

Am in PE, so will be doing the short road version, have not done any races for a while so easing into it again.

Mmm, now I have a target for my "junk miles" rides down the coast. Should be able to get to 75 soonish, after that it starts getting to a lot of rides to go up.

As I understand, it is jut panels and electrical work, no extra plumbing needed as with the other options. Considering as one of my options as well.

Sounds a lot like connection issues? What are you connecting to for calibration? And what are you using for the workouts (laptop, phone, software, dongles)?

Sure, send a PM and I can see if I can help you out.

Not the best numbers I have had, but included two moves and a 70.3 finish. So not happy with the numbers, but happy with the results. Now that everything has settled a bit, I can set a nice target for next year. Still busy resting now.

From the leisure island beaches you can do a nice and long swim in high tide, the water is shallow enough to stand in and was nice and calm for swimming. Not sure about the deeper waters or elsewhere in the lagoon. I would assume there are shipping lanes to avoid but anymore a local should be able to help. You can laso check if the Knysna extreme tri course is available normally: https://www.knysnaextreme.co.za/thecourse

I like the option of a short route being available, especially with my wife still starting out. However I do not think it is worth it to travel all the way to Cape Town just to go do the short route. So nice idea, but will rater do the short Herald tour instead with her, and get ready to do the full one eventually.

Moved to PE recently, and this has great timing to introduce me to the local trails. I have done Haterdale (Actually in Addo, but still close) and Norm Hudlin so far, nothing too technical. Now I have a much bigger TODO list for the rest of December.

On the streetview you can see the expansion joints running in the same direction as you would be riding, make sure to cross it at 90 degrees, like the red arrow below. Several people fell badly last year. I think there was an ambulance there with someone when I came past.

It was supposed to be Maurten Gells and Gatorade Edurance drink, if the same as Mosselbay and Durban.

Anyone else doing Mosselbay 70.3 this weekend? It seems like a tough cycle with all the climbing, but the time for prep is done. Nothing left but to just do it.

The price on the Garmin site is about R15000. https://www.garmin.com/en-ZA/p/731136/pn/010-02503-23 . You can get it cheaper, but will have to be patient or wait for a special Like Black Friday coming up. Might just get lucky.

Getting some group rides to get people used to riding with other people and the feeling of the extra speed while drafting will gain a couple of extra entries. I started doing races when I was young and stupid so did not care wat happened really. But now just being stupid and not riding in groups a while, it is quite scary to join these bigger races. Especially since indoor has made everyone fit with little skills, me included. Also traveling sucks post Covid and Kulula death. So will rather join a local races than travel to any of the bigger ones across the country. So might be worth it to focus marketing more on the locals that do not have to travel.

Good luck, hope this finds a good home.

If you can run 5km in 17 mins, you should have run enough to be out of points by March.

Trying to watch this video

They do have a "ready to ride guarantee", so would hav also been a bit pissed if the tyre is leaking. But also to be fair, their checklist does not include checking tyres 🤔

What a way for Louis to make it into the top 10 😅

I do moving time for most riding (This also takes care of robots I cannot skip). But for timed rides or races elapsed time definetly matters. I find that auto pausing works great for this as well, except on really steep stuff, going so slowly it pauses sometimes sucks.
