is this old malmesbury ? was there this morning, what a nice ride it was

no, they didn't want the original ID and I didn't bring copies. Already the 2nd time I go, not keen to go another two times so screw it

Beautiful day at the top of the mountains this morning

Matts numbers today… 7w/kg for 5mins and 5.5 for 60mins… and at his weight, that’s a lot of watts. Poor drivetrain… 😜

as far as I'm concerned, this. But also I'm now running 32s at 4.5 bars so probably can use almost any other sealant, I've got tons of Squirt, that now comes with extra "beadblock", I'm hoping this will work well on the road. So far on MTB and Gravel it's been perfectly fine (and unlike Orange I did not have to top up every 2nd other month)

The day I have 300+k to burn I think this will be the new addition to my garage

you sure ?

ok **** it, not going to waste my time further... turns out you also need a copy of your ID, not just the originals, and photo + form.

yeaaah... I'm running those on the gravel bike, must say they don't last very long, I'd probably avoid them if I was at that level in such kind of race. But if they paid my salary then... I'd just make sure to put a fresh one every day and bring spare quicklinks with 😜

Their chains might be 5w slower, but they don't break 😜 Never had a problem with my shimano XTR chains though, must be my baby watts

Thanks, I'll go today, hopefully we can ride there in the weekend !

I'm not complaining about the live stream 🤣 I'm complaining about the broadcast being about 0% live for 2.5 hours, now it's great 😜

Yoh, I have PTSD from that descent on the gravel bike in the mudd at Old Hermon

mmh lots of fillers this morning 😕

I think I know who it is, his garage has S-works everything : road, TT, XC (x2 apparently at the moment)

how was the wait at the gate to drop off the forms ? That's the main thing keeping me from going in the middle of a work day

Will be epic, looking forward to ouberg !

has anyone been there recently ? is trafic still man to access the office ?

it is UCI sanctionned, so I would assume it is also CSA sanctionned

Are you talking of swartberg 100 ?

Think he had a bad day ? Looked like Grotts was congratulating him on the finish line?

I don't know, feels every year there's a lot of that no ? I mean, even at the Giro you miss half of the action some days, so I don't find it so surprising that we miss a bit of the racing in the "untamed africa". Would really like to have some sort of live gaps somwhere on the stream though, but I mean, I'm not even watching, just have the stream in the background so maybe there are but I just miss them everytime.

exactly, fillers.

every year hey, last year it started from the prologue, damn choppers were blowing dust on the riders, what a shame !! 😜

Hey, I'm going to sun city next week, I was hoping to be able to ride the end of Race to the sea but from what I read here, riding outside of the resort isn't a safe option ? I see the segments inside, anyone's been there recently ? Should I take the MTB or is the gravel bike enough ? cheers.
