  1. Saw a super wife like 6 times out there today. Must be nice
  2. I really don't think this is an unpopular opinion. I saw someone suggest a transition to more road bike TT and making the TT its own discipline. I really enjoy it and geeking out over the bike and position and stuff. But I can totally see where the argument is coming from and agree with a lot of it.
  3. https://road.cc/content/news/pidcock-tt-bikes-too-dangerous-training-public-roads-289857#:~:text=Tom Pidcock says that it,of the riding position involved. Interesting article. Spending time on the TT bike myself and training in the position recommended at bikefit with aero in mind it is actually pretty sketchy. Unfortunately I sold my IDT because I like riding outdoors and have time on my hands.
  4. oof alright well I guess that friend must get in touch... Haha.
  5. How would one order a 60T speed dish for SRAM Force dub cranks? Asking for a friend
  6. Dankie MuishondMeneer.
  7. If you don't have a team car I think doing the unstylish and riding with as much extra water you can carry is a must. I did the 158 and went through a good couple of bottles from the car and team mates and definitely could have had more - I felt the effects of dehydration in the last 15km properly. As usual eat and drink from the beginning but when you drink try chug twice as much as you usually would. A 500ml only lasted about 3 bottle cage exits for me. Definitely go 750s if you have, maybe a seatpost mount or even camelbak... It was rough
  8. Does anyone have a GPX for the longer route? Sorry if it’s been posted already
  9. Choo choo 🚂🚂🚂
  10. I would also like to find a pair of rim brake di2 ones. Let me know if you come right
  11. We did a recce on Sunday, started 7:30 and rained on until 8:30ish on and off. Clouds parted and by the end of the ride I was burnt and so dehydrated I got home and weighed below 60 after two bottles of water in the car trip!
  12. RELATABLE
  13. Google is your friend.
  14. I wish I had known about that gravel track up to the dam it would have been a gamechanger for me this past week haha. Must check strava heatmaps next time...
  15. I had a Defender and I think I am scarred for life from the experience. Now I just want something reliable and functional... Like a bicycle
  16. I have commandeered my GF's regular length caddy 1.9 TDI and I love it, and I have seriously considered getting my own. But I would definitely go for the Maxi if I had the choice. I don't think you will regret the extra length with bikes but for regular people the normal length one is very spacious.
  17. But how am I meant to change gears then? 🤨
  18. When I click Contact Us on bottom right of page, it brings up a messenger box. Do you have cookies or ads disabled through an adblocker or something? My tech knowledge is shoddy at best but that would be my first guess
  19. Unfortunately that did not go to plan at all... Ended up with a weird stomach thing for 24 and 25, and then took it easy returning! Still managed about 600 odd. Well done everyone that did it.
  20. I did not quite think this through and did 192km on the gravel grinder this morning... This is going to get interesting.
  21. Awesome thanks guys. Hopefully my Christmas present for myself will make it safely to CT
  22. THREAD REVIVAL I have a friend that is hopefully bringing a boxed bike down to CT for me but he is getting to ORT Airport via Gautrain. Box is 180x80x25... Do you think he will be able to bring it via Gautrain?
  23. This event is definitely on my bucket list.
  24. You can also test out your nutrition strategy and pacing for 36one and make sure you end feeling fresh-ish... DOOOO IIIIIIIT
  25. I reckon it should be doable, it depends how deep you go. Tons of guys did or where planning on doing DC before Tour du Cap (I know it is slightly different). Could be nice to really relax after Nova and then do some short sharp rides before 36one
