My complaint about that race was the organisers advertised 40km and my Garmin showed only 32.5 km once complete and NO I did not take a shortcut!!!

I have just come from the launch of the MTN sponsorship of the Lions rugby team. Owen Nkumane opened proceedings with a minutes silence in rememberance of Carla Swart. Very moving stuff.

Rest in peace Carla. Thoughts and prayers with family and friends

SICK COUNTRY WE LIVE IN!!! Hope they remove his "horn" and use it as a butt plug on him!!! Prayers are with the poor female cyclist for a speedy recovery from this nightmare. The fact that she is a cyclist is incidental to the issue. NO female should have to endure this kind of treatment from anybody.

I will check back on this. Also keen for a group to Ballito and back at 5am. Ave speed of about 28kmh???

I will name and shame - SPACEMAN!!!!! He advertised something on the Hub (an extension unit for a handlebar). I called him up, we agreed a price, I paid the money into his account via EFT and he NEVER SENT IT. I have sent him numerous queries and he does not respond. I was going to ignore it as it was only R50 but the principle is an issue!!!

D and in no condition for it

The agents are Just Fun south of Jhb

Wow. 3500 Kj per day is about 800 calories!! Too little. Regarding Underachiever, your burn is also overestimated. On Saturday I rode 76km at about 148 bpm. Ride time was 2:35 and Kcal burn was 1600 as per power meter

Lucky you!!!! Eskom did not read my meter for 277 days and then sent me a bill for R15,000. I paid what I believed was due every month but clearly not even close.

Rollers are the hardest thing I have done on a bike. Bought mine last week and still cannot balance

Another sad day for our beloved sport and an indictment of the sick world we leave in. RIP fellow cyclist. Heartfelt condolences to the Reyneke family on their tragic loss.

Did everybody get a Trek as well for that price?

Truly the saddest day for cyclists. RIP fellow enthusiasts. Condolences to family and friends.

Is your wife a hubber that you are looking for brownie points like this?

I will take it off your hands for R50. I need a new party trick

I cant be you because you are not a car guard

I was also in that group. The bottom line is, the rider who was knocked over was holding her line. She was inside the yellow line. When the BMW driver pulled off, you could hear from his engine that he was really trying to accelerate and make a point that his car was faster than all of us on bikes. I honestly believe that if it weren't for the cyclists (well done to our marshals on the ride) stopping him, he would have driven off. I then received an email from the club stating that he gave the cyclist he knocked over a false name and telephone number. INEXCUSABLE!!! It wasn't like we insisted that he yell it out for all of us to take down so that we could later harass him. The cyclist he knocked down was given the details directly by him. Cradle Resident - stop making excuses for some dumb coward who was hoping to get off scott free after knocking a cyclist over.

just dont stand on the bike whilst fastened into idt

Go with the Tacx reading. I have 3 readings on my IDT. Garmin 305, Tacx and Powertap. Powertap is most accurate. This morning IDT showed Tacx at about 720 calories, Powertap at about 705 and I did not check garmin but it normally reads around double so would probably show about 1400 odd.

Contact Bruce Diesel - he knows. My 2 cents worth is that the guys at Bikemax Power (local agents for Powertap) are awesome

This is so old that when that pic first came out, that frame was top of the range

Bet the rider will claim that he ever saw him . Here's wishing him a full and speedy recovery.
