  1. I hope JP proves me wrong ...
  2. Been using it for 4 mornings now, really enjoy it. Was lucky to have had 2 "worlds" and it shows that there are many options to explore. I haven't done the workouts or grouprides yet, I just choose a route and do 2 laps if I can. Real fun part for me is to find somebody that also goes along at about 2w/kg as we then tend to be able to cycle together. Seems I go harder then though, maybe just a bit of competition. Amazing to be pushing maybe 150% FTP (in my case about 300w) and then still have people fly past in a group!! Also fun seeing some other RSA flags on the route. Really glad I started with this. No technical problems thus far either with Powerbeam and BLE
  3. Can anybody share experiences with moving from the CycleOps virtual training software to Zwift? Worth giving it a go? Any issues I need to know of with a powerbeam pro Bluetooth trainer? Many thanks
  4. Think that is Stefan Sahm, so he will be able to speak with authority!
  5. If you believe YouTube that is outside Hugenote tunnel, video posted in 2012
  6. Condolences to friends and family, I always looked forward to reading his posts. RIP
  7. Went to the shop by Makro in Centurion. The GS motorbike cost R764 and online NYC is $59. So very similar. Only "advantage" could be to buy scarce items. Porsche $299 and Takelot quotes around R8500
  8. Price differentials are pretty big .. Guess it is transport costs and then supply and demand!
  9. Hi Spent the last hour reading most of the posts. I'm going to get into the Lego scene. I'm not into Starwars, but rather anything car or bike or plane related. So I'm thinking of starting with the technics sets but the architecture also looks challenging. Would you recommend getting a few of the creator sets over time to build a reasonably priced and varied collection? I'm a bit OCD (apparently!) so would prefer a specific series and then going on with it. I guess seeing the Lego of the BMW GS on Facebook as well as the Porsche and the Specialized in this thread has sealed the deal for me. I've taken note of the shops and online options discussed in various posts, but as I'm going to New York for a few days soon, is it worth doing the shopping there? Hope to be posting pics of a build soon [emoji1303]
  10. I think 3 and 6 is spot-on [emoji1]
  11. I have a BLE speed/cadence sensor and a BLE chest HRM. I use them with the CycleOps IDT. So no Ant+ devices. I cycle with an old iPhone as I don't have a Garmin 520 or such. The Strava app on the phone pics up the cadence and the Apple Watch sends the heart rate. Will I gain anything my purchasing a Fenix5, apart from a stylish watch and something to satisfy my need for gadgets ?
  12. It was also on YouTube, the Eng-Wal game at least
  13. Seems the pitch is conducive to high scores, even the SL are scoring freely
  14. I think the addition of BLE is an interesting development. My speed/cadence and HRM is BLE so buying the watch has just become more attractive.
  15. McKenzie as batting coach should be able to do that. Apparently JK was also brought in to talk to Amla but that didn't work. Yo to the players I guess
  16. Unbelievable. Maybe easy for me to criticize because I never was, not will ever be, in a situation to deal with money of that order of magnitude
  17. Not every time agreed, but average of 33 after more than 60 innings?
  18. And Duminy doesn't fail to disappoint. Guess he will make place for AB, unless that upsets the political balance of the team. Let's see ...
  19. Way to early to groom somebody to replace Amla
  20. Happy for Sunè. Haven't been to a game in ages, reckon tomorrow is a good day to go to Superport Park for the T20 finals, hope weather clears
  21. At least you are giving it a chance [emoji1303]
  22. How did you secure the bubble wrap? If it is just floating, there is a high risk of your dogs drowning as they get stuck underneath.
  23. Damn. Hope it pulls through. What to do with it afterwards though? Release in any veld area? Totally ignorant on this ...
  24. Excellent series win today! Bring on the pink-ball test :-) Will Cook make way for AB with a reshuffled batting order ?
