Apologies for not actually answering your question on Temu, but do have a look at Decathlon for winter cycling kit. Pricing not too bad and you might have a store near you if you’re based in JHB. If not, ordering online and returns have been easy.

14m45s

Saw this on the highlights this morning…jeez…throwing your teammate under a 32’ wheel

Still waiting for my order to be fulfilled. Only received 2 of the 4 items ordered. Emails and Instagram messages have gone unanswered.

Another Zwift alternative… Tarmac Trainer Been using it on my phone and no issues so far. When linked to Strava, you are able to ride your starred segments/routes. Worth a try and free.

Sorted @Naam?

If not out of the way for you, try Knipe Racing in Durbanville. They serviced my Tacx Flux 2.

I.e. socks? 🤪😁

Lovely meeting you today @ChrisF

Winter evening on the Bottelary Hills

“Sometimes to find the light, we must first touch the darkness.” Early morning ride up to Tygerberg Nature Reserve

Yes. Please DM me.

Du Toitskloof Pass + Bainskloof Pass + Taalmonument climb as a nasty finish

Noticed that in the formula description it does allow for an adjustment: [Winner] is the time of the winner (sometimes adjusted)

This doesn’t seem to be the case in any of the previous recent events I’ve done though 🤷‍♂️ Winner’s time matches actual winning time.

I see that the seeding indices on https://pedalpower.org.za/seeding/ have been updated with 99er race results. The winner’s time is listed as 2h20m00s although JP Lloyd won in 2h26m51s. Is the adjustment in the winning time for the calculation of the index due to the race commissaire stopping the elite bunch?

Old Malmesbury Rd

Only 1 person on Strava with that name and he did the short route (no starting time shown, probably because I don’t follow him)

Elsenburg

In search of urban gravel

I’ve been checking www.pedalpower.org.za (and www.racetec.co.za although I know timing was done by FinishTime) Should I be checking somewhere else?
