  1. Watched Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and I felt somewhat underwhelmed. Or maybe I just want more light sabres and the comeback of the Jedis. Feels like they are just milking the franchise and not reinvesting in the future story line as they only paid token respect to some of the main characters of the franchise towards the end. Felt like an after thought...
  2. The top of Alberts Farm
  3. Your actual maximum heart rates should be quite a bit higher based on that effort! or you could be coming sick? I've read somewhere that the 220-age calculation has a 15 bpm play either side, but other than having every Vitality member doing a HRmax test they do not have much options to get to a generally fair and cheap estimate.
  4. Please shed your tears on the veld and not the tar [emoji24][emoji23][emoji57][emoji1303]
  5. Sir, are we witnessing a Rapha Festive 500 machine?
  6. E2E start via iPhone and Prisma
  7. The All-American Rejects - Beekeeper's Daughter
  8. More than a hundred. Can't remember what was said 117 or 170 2016 Finishers for the various Audax events: http://audaxsa.co.za/2016-results/
  9. I'm not a CW member, but I do know quite a few of the guys out there. Look out for it on http://www.crestawheelers.co.za and on http://www.audaxsa.co.za Anybody can join, any type of bicycle is welcome. It is run along Audax rules, so average speed should be between 15 and 30km/h between checkpoints (of which there were 2 - One at the Sasol Garage where the R512 ends in Harties, and the other at the Wimpy in Magaliesburg) and overall. No podiums, and "winners" are not celebrated as it is a self supported ride and not a race.
  10. My bad, I landed up on some apparently thumbsucking site which stated 12mm. uk.puma.com states 6mm
  11. See you at the July 2017 event Pulse? It is the same route, just lower temperatures
  12. Here is the official route as published by Cresta Wheelers (organisers) https://www.strava.com/routes/5637176 The Strava segment somebody created for the ride (showing elapsed times, not riding time as my picture) https://www.strava.com/segments/13752820 The balance was by riding there, and slogging back home
  13. ]Went for a long ride from Jozi, stopped at a few garages and a Wimpy. Saw some Gauteng and some North West, and some mid 40 temperatures on the Garmin. I actually think my bike took me to hell and back
  14. My shoe journey, and quest for comfortable running shoes Started with Nike Voomera were very cushy shoes but allowed me to hurt my ankles badly. I run more than a 1000km in these Unhappy shoes New Balance 1080s (even the extra wide) were terrible shoes for me. Did about 200 terrible km in these. Ascis (some or other cloud) were terrible shoes for me, felt like rigid boards tied to my feet. Ran in these once only, and was given my money back by the shoe shop. Giving up on shoes Running Sandals - Managed to get up to a 10km race at pace but the weirdness and all the "chats" with everybody became too much. They also allowed all my underlying niggles and aches&pains to come to the fore. Innov8 F-lite 195 - I loved the slipper fit however it offered too little support for my impatience. I still have these, but don't really run in them (200km or less?) Biokineticists Spent a fair amount of time, money and sweat to get rid of the niggles, aches & pains and transitioned back to more traditional shoes. Happy shoes Innov8 Road X 255 (3 arrow) (Just over 800km) Newton Gravitas (Over 1000km) Innov8 Road X 233 (2 arrow) <-- these were my VERY happy shoes! Slipper fit, even though a narrow shoe (Around 900km when the treadmill ripped one open when I moved too far to the side)Innov8 Road X 220 (1 arrow) <- too little sole, left ankle feels like it is locking up (tight on the outside to the top) afterwards, but it could be that I am just unfit right now. Unfortunately the toe-box lining catches on my toenails and sets my feet on fire during non-flat and non-short (5km) runs Now I am looking for new shoes now Unfortunately, regular running shoes tend not to work for me as I am a forefoot striker who manage to do a mid-foot strike. I am also not willing to go to a heel to toe drop of more than 8mm (most shoes). I prefer a 4 to 6mm drop. I am not keen on running on the new pillow-type fads (high stack heights - sorry Altra), as I want to feel some feedback from the ground. I want to buy road shoes, as that is where the majority of my running in 2017 will be. I will buy a pair of trail running shoes later in 2017 as I have my eyes set on a mountain run later in the year. So, who can recommend shoes (or know of any shoes) that fit these summarized parameters? 4-6 mm heel to toe droplow stack height neutral, no support / controlnot too narrowlow fit around anklenot too much "guarding" around toes
  15. What is the complaint? The weather was great this year. Normally there is a lot of heat to add to the hills

  17. The 2011 release year will weigh heavily against you
