  1. We were at the feeding section yesterday with the ladies race. 2 x CSA officials on duty there did absolutely nothing to assist with controlling cars and busses coming through the area. There was some real close calls where riders had to avoid traffic.

    Must say they were very quick to threaten the one "feeder" with disqualification of his rider when he assisted her to get going after she had to stop for traffic. Some of the spectators eventually assisted to control traffic and move barriers to make control easier.

    Not to mention the commentator/announcer at the start/finish line. This poor oke did not have a clue what was going on apart from asking donations and gifts for some of form of development

  2. Good afternoon 

    i would like some advice regarding Indoor trainers and the Various apps that are on the market .

     

    i have a Tacx smart neo running the Rouvy app .

     

    my wife and I both use the trainer but now i was wondering is there another way that i could purchase another trainer and we could then ride together using the same app ? Woul i be able to get a less expensive trainer and say ride on a mobile phone using the app and she would ride on the neo and we ride together ? 

     

    what would be a decent trainer that wont cost too much that could do this ?

     

    Thanks 

     

    We have the same scenario. Me and my wife training together. Was originally on Rouvy but changed to Zwift. Although you would require two separate subscriptions it is great especially if you do the same workout, race or just ride. We use 2 x Tacx Bushido's each linked to a Laptop via Ant. 

  3. Maxis Ikon 2.3 at front and Ardent 2.2 at back. Had this combo last year at S2C and it was perfect. Getting such good milage from it that I will possibly not even have to change for this year.

     

    Also doing it with my wife this year. We are entered for Trail (1st of the three)

     

    Riders training in Westrand please let me know and we can join in.

  4. Started overcast, looked like it may clear up, but closed up nicely for a fairly cool and blustery ride.

    Loads of grip on the damp trails.

    Edit: Cradle route from home. A nice 60km route with about 800m of ascent. When I am feeling stronger, I may add to this, or at least sniff out some climbs to add to the ascent.

    Please let me know where was this photo taken.

    When you do Magalies again PM me and we will join

  5. Reset the unit. My 810 also did that in the display and Garmin did a full reset and it was fixed

     

    To perform a master reset:

    Power device off.

    Press and hold Lap and Start/Stop.

    Power device on while still holding both buttons.

    Continue holding buttons when Garmin "splash" screen appears.

    Release buttons when Garmin "splash" screen disappears.

  6. Thanx. I also have a sneaky suspicion something odd is going on with my ticker. But only under certain conditions. Which is why I am playing it safe with the W2W this weekend looking at the temps.

     

    My doc did a normal EKG while I was lying on the consultation room bed, and the waveform analysis and all that showed no warning signs. Everything normal. But something is causing my heart-rate to climb fast when it's hot.

     

    BTW, I do not see myself as overweight. I am at 85kg and 1.82m tall.

     

    Make sure you find what's causing the problem. Four days after getting a 110% all clear from a cardiologist after doing a stress ecg, sonar and blood I suffered a serious heart attack. Four stents later I am happy to be alive and well. Dr that did the stents said I am a very lucky man. I just dont trust an ECG any more
