    Another take on it - What I heard recently was that the nausea from gels is most likely because people don't realise they need to have fluid with it for it to digest. Without the fluid it just sits in the stomach and doesn't get absorbed, and causes nausea. I'm interested to hear what other people say about this. I've been training my gut and trying to see how a new fuelling strategy works for recovery too. I pretty much always have a 500ml soft flask with me now with kitchen sugar or my own maltodextrin/ fructose mix and sodium. I find it easy enough just to carry in my hand on my runs. (It's more cost effective to mix my own because I'm using so much of it, otherwise I'd be happy enough to use stuff off the shelf.)

    I'm too old for running in the cold and dark. You can join me for Zoo Lake loops once the sun is up 🤣 On that note, if anyone wants to get involved with the Hendrick Ramaala Sports Foundation let me know - funding is one part of it, but I'm looking for people with any skills that might be handy (web design, social media, auditing, event organising, transport, race accommodation...) https://www.thetoprunner.co.za/post/forged-at-zoo-lake-the-hendrick-ramaala-story I did a little last minute fundraising training run on the loop 3 weeks before doing pacing duty for a friend at Comrades...

    You can also try Tyrone Harriers for training runs.

    Your goal should have been automatically changed to 300 points for last week and this week (I think it was automatic - I didn't do anything different on my side, and that was already before I uploaded my race result manually.)

    I had the 25th anniversary Baby Jogger Performance. It was only good for running! Definitely not something you would use for weekend outings. I got it at an incredible price overseas - but my aunt still hasn't forgiven me for having to travel from the US via London with it and in and out of taxis. It was a beast of a pram. I used it regularly over about 8 years, through 3 kids from when my youngest was 6 months old. They all loved it. The trick was finding routes with nice long straight stretches and not much traffic. I even did a few races with it. The other trick, like most outings with kids, is always pack snacks and drinks and nappies! It's definitely worth looking second hand. And see if you can test one out to make sure it's something you'll actually use. I also know a few people that got them and used it not even a handful of times.

    Trying my luck - anyone I can join for a run on Wednesday morning in PE from Humewood / Summerstrand area? Any pace and distance.

    I finally checked my wife's app - she pays R10 'monthly account fee' and R10 'vitality money premium'. So it is R20 a month.

    I'll check my wife's banking app again when I get a chance...

    It's very easy to do in the app on her phone. My wife had to do it too. It gives full access to the extra functionality. And then you can even transfer miles between each other (or to other discovery clients).

    That's great to know. Thanks. I looked around a while back and then forgot about it.

    Cool! Where did you find those?

    It was great reading through this. Getting excited!

    Great! Still need to work out what time I'll be riding through the different areas. Any safe route suggestions to get from Stellies to Claremont, or better to just get in a car?

    Hi, I'll be attempting the Cross Cape ride from 7-9 November. Are there any places on the route I need to be extra cautious? How safe are the last 50km on tar into Stellies? (And if anyone wants to join me for all or part of it, please message me.) https://ridewithgps.com/ambassador_routes/1319-the-cross-cape?lang=en

    Definitely carbon. More pictures attached... (was told the issue is on the non-drive side)
