Collected my number. Hassle free process and very empty actually. COVID test to the right of the main entrance, no queue, earbud to the nose and sms 10 minutes later with the result. Showed sms of negative result and qr code and allowed in the main hall. Collected the number showing the qr code again. Expo was very poor and empty. Not much to see. Ready for Sunday ????

Love how the weather just keep changing ???? https://darksky.net/details/-26.1899,28.0316/2021-11-21/ca12/en Think we'll only really know what to expect on the day

This is what kept me away this year, and the price tag. I would rather go to thaba trails (or any other place) any other sunday, I put some petrol, pay the entrance fee, have a nice coffee and breakfast afterward and maybe have some change left????

Expo booking system up and running? haven't seen any info on this already ????

This is what I got from the organiser ????

My first 94.7, seeded on BB batch, how bad is it? hahaha

Legs coming right again ????

first ride after a month of nothing...

I didn't have any issues... quite straight forward, click enter, click enter again, get directed to howler, login/sign up and pay and you done

Nevermind

Just found this thread, haven't even joined in... So don't have much tracking/goals/weigh ins but this year has been big for me. Did my Discovery check up and my cholesterol was extremely high for me (6.8)(new born, *** eating, low exercise, stress, same old excuse) 174cm height and 94kg was my heaviest I've ever been, I looked wide???? very wide. The goal was mainly to lower my cholesterol and drop those kgs so i could improve my power to weight ratio (been watching too much road cycling); I opted for a KETO/LCHF diet around April 2021 with some intermittent fasting and caloric deficit. Macros: 75% fats, 20% proteins, 5% carbs Gross carb intake of 21g per day and around 1750 calories per day. Fasting from Sunday nights to Tuesday mornings (no 16/8 fasting, i eat when i eat) Exercise: outdoor ride on Sunday, spinning on Wednesdays and the odd light weight session or zwift ride some other day 5 months later i am at 78kg, adapted to this way of eating, missing pastas and bread but still can eat all my cold hams ???? cheating on some (most) weekends. Cholesterol dropped to 3.1 (LDL 1, HDL 2.1), feeling good, clothes don't fit. Plateauing at 77-79kg for the last month and a bit and still plenty fat around my stomach and love handles. But overall enjoying the experience, cycling on 0 carbs for energy has been surprisingly easy and good (granted im only riding around 60kms per road ride and 30km mtb), have a few eggs, avo and some peanut butter before the ride, some sugar free electrolytes during the ride and feeling strong. BTW, cycling with +-16kg less uphill feels so good! But ya, pics before and after. New goal to be around 15% body fat and have a prominent V (obliques) aiming at my genitals ????

https://www.zwift.com/academy/zaroad cool concept, reminds me of the game Gran Turismo how they recruited gamers to race in real life

RIP. I was shocked when i read the news.

Where this at? Finishline, Dunkeld or Mellow?

Love your pics man! They make me want to move down to CT immediately????

quick highjack, what are the view of MIPS vs Wavecell?

You cant go wrong with the Forerunner 45

Just a few questions that might help your choice: do you want a smart watch with fitness tracking capabilities or a fitness tracker with smart watch capabilities? What other sports do you do (run and cycle)? What's your budget? What info do you want to know (just speed and distance)? Want to be able to view the info during the activity or only review the info after the activity? Road or MTB? Without knowing all the info, find a Garmin 45/235/VA3 (new or used), a chest HRM, bike handlebar mount and you'll be sorted.

Buddy from from them, awesome quality, not cheap. You can also choose to pre-pay the import duties with them or settle them once the item arrives

Nice looking bike!

Only use Express for new map updates oncea while, no issues my side.

Wait for the Fenix 7 to launch and buy the fenix 6/6x Pro, prices will drop nicely for the old line up I have the 6x Pro and make use of the mapping/navigation features and other apps like komoot and strava

I've never had and issue with my torch and WML from them. Good quality, good output. Never had experience with their bike lights, they appear as Olight/Magicsine

Olight SA having a good price on the cycling lights https://www.olightstore.co.za/bike-light-rn-800-bundle-rn-120.html and https://www.olightstore.co.za/bike-light-allty-2000-bundle-rn-120.html and https://www.olightstore.co.za/olight-allty-2000-bundle-rn-800-bundle-rn-120.html
