Only rode there once, I always use the road otherwise, think it’s a good call to ban bicycles though as pedestrian often randomly change directions and cohabitation isn’t great. wouldn’t mind banning pedestrians from the cycle paths actually 😜

What I think about everytime I see someone with an ankle chip. Easy way to lose 5 positions in a bunch sprint 😜

There’s a designated and enclosed bike area yes, I’m sure they made sure it’s safe

you follow the "cape town stadium" signs, they will take you right where you must go, where you see cars stuck waiting to get in a parking lot, that's where you want to go 😂 https://www.google.com/maps/dir/-33.909171,18.413633/-33.9049218,18.4121756/@-33.9112965,18.4124121,16z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0 They make you park opposite the road from McD

they scan it at the entrance but mine is on my bike, they said it's fine. No problem, except trafic in town, parking, walking all around the expo.... last year I cycled there it was much easier

aren't all bikes or almost ?

There were a few xr4 on the hub with rim brakes and campy groups at very appealing prices. The Aria is a bit heavy. of all the aero bikes out there the Cabal must be the only one with non fully integrated cables. When I was on the market I tried to find info about it but it seems nobody has ridden it ever… I went for a Merida Reacto instead.

I haven't check but maybe someone here will know. My last jab was in july 2021, is that ok or is it considered expired ? I know in France I no longer qualify as vaccinated, not sure what the rules are here...

When I received my new bike it was supposed to come with 172.5 ultegra, unfortunately it was 170. I found on the hub a 172.5 and bought it the same day, sold the 170 the following day and lost R50 in the process. I don't know what part we're talking about in this case, but I wouldn't be able to bear knowing that I'm riding mismatched crank lengths 🤣 (Although I probably wouldn't notice it if I didn't know.. I used to ride three bikes all three with different cranklength and it all felt normal to me)

950 Tss week, decent

Christiaan is making us all look like a bunch of ***** 😭

I was getting called for my start when they weighed it, haven't even seen what it came to on their scale 🤣 Another day in cape town where the wind always turns into a head wind. It was non-stop hurt 😄

That pic 😂😂 yeah the course and the teams controlling a numb opposition made the day boring. Burned a few matches today, or should I say I did some nice openers for the ITT 😜

30+ is a bit late to wannabe pro isn't it ? 😅 Sometimes I ride during my work hours to see how it feels to be paid to ride...

I don't know, not something I considered so far 🤣

There’s the open cat ! The vets 30/40 are looking very competitive

I think so hey, last year I parked at on tap paarden eiland and joined a big train of CCC guys all the way to town, maybe I just got lucky

I haven't used the bus/cycle path in town much in ages, but I used it once in a big group and was happy to see that there were police cars there now, not sure if they police it on regular bases but it used to be a hotspot so everyone stopped using it. Personnaly I'll be using the cycle path until paarden eiland then on the road all the way into town (including that little bit on the n1)

I think I saw your message on the TV Neighbours FB group I'll be cycling to the start from woodbridge island, but a bit earlier. You'll probably see other cyclists on their way to the start around that time though Enjoy

surprised to see wear on his 50T cog, I thought his cassette only had 11T cogs

Yes, That sounds awefully complicated. I just cut my volume almost by half last week, also reduced stress a bit on the easy rides but maintained the hard rides... Tomorrow nothing, wednesday 5x15 secs max cadence and thursday is the start of 4 days of racing ! Then monday-tuesday off followed by 3 days with 1 easy hour, 1 day with 5x2mins at threshold the day before CTCT. Might throw in a little bit of intensity on the wednesday or thursday before CTCT depending on how I feel, don't want the legs to fall asleep.

If you put the old chain back on and it doesn’t slip it’s most likely time for a new cassette

Don’t see you on the list, are you riding age cat ?

The worst part about Tour du Cap is tapering for it 😅 I'll probably change my mind somewhere around the Taal monument or maybe even before #1st-timer

okay, I did long rides after the 1st two shots without major issues but it wasn't anywhere near max efforts... but I'm looking now at getting it friday morning and tour du cap starts the thursday. Probably not the best idea especially since I still need to recover from today+tomorrow's intensity by then... I heard many of my friends had a bit of a hard time for a couple of days after each shots, I had nothing, barely a little discomfort in the shoulder after the 1st shot, but it would suck being knocked out for 2/3 days guess I'll just wait to see if the new omicron one eventually comes out in march like they announced...
