Sid the Sloth

I pointed this out on a Whatsapp group yesterday too

you are right I am a terrible example... I just thought it was quite surprising that I was one of the only ones not keen to shell out so I can see how was fastest on the leaderboard that day.

Interestingly I had a look on my strava and the vast majority of the people I follow on the all are members. Like 90%, and the other 10% are my friends who do sports the app doesn’t cater to as much (rowers, gymers, and yogis)

Also many of us use ad blockers.

I suppose it is just a different structure where instead of relying on ad revenue they now want income from readers. Capitalism and economics would probably predict a rival news site to gain popularity as users no longer want to pay the higher price

Fake it ‘til you make it 🤟🏼

Update: Unfortunately it lasted about 5 rides until the plastic started separating from itself underneath. I have put the second one on for now, but I suspect that will meet its end soon too, and then I will have to find another solution.

Clearly they missed the creation of a UCI Gravel Calendar

I’m guessing it’s a no no to do this race with a csa racing license?

What angle is the power saddle at? You need the nose to be level, not the entire saddle, as it flares up a bit at the back (that’s been my experience at least)

FACTOR: When money isn't one

just make sure you don't mistake it for a gel if you're bonking... Can't imagine a happy ending to that.

Soooo Herpes

Nice on Chris, proper day out

I am not sure if the sloth is the one that finishes ahead or behind

I look forward to meeting the other sloth.

There’s a strava segment, https://strava.app.link/46HhjTZHgpb. As you’re probably aware you won’t be on the segment if you start 15km in. It’s down main road exactly on the two oceans marathon loop. I would be careful joining in on the route as guys are probably going to be going quite hard and fast. It is also probably worth attending the not-race brief at forries, so that everyone in the group is on the same page. Street racing at 5am is sketchy at the best of times let alone when guys start pulling in at all points on the route. The finish is at the top gate of kirstenbosch (rhodes drive-Klaasens intersection) to avoid going full send down the hill and through the traffic light.

I was going to say the same thing lol. I sense a Quickstep victory on the horizon

Seems like it was a success. Thanks for the help Jono!

@Jono thanks for sorting me out! Garmin quarter turn mount repaired after almost a month of elastic band bodging it. I will report back after the test run tomorrow.

You've been hitten up 🤙

On that note, would anyone in the southern suburbs of CT be keen to help me out and print new quarter turn mount ears for the back of my garmin? Happy to pay in beer. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2889942

And then you have to cycle home.

all fun and games until it is dark and your rear light stops working...

Why don't you just buy my Canyon and call it a day?
