2km Warm up.
5km TT
2km Cool down.
Logged the 5km as a separate exercise because I needed accurate power.
Zero points
Go to fitfiletools and "stich" the files together and upload to Garmin again then you will get the point.
Open an account with thecourierguy and get them to collect, it will be much cheaper.

There are some nice clips on wahoo systm. that I enjoyed.

I could not agree more but there is value in these sessions, can't see how people can do 100km on a zwift ride.
I also bought some stuff from them, spoke tension meter and some cheap lights, arrived via courier as promised, spoke tension meter seems to be good quality, I will be testing the light very soon.
I bought, small pliers to do and undo the quick link for R18, seems like a bargain, will keep it in my spares bag.
VAT was payable via a link they have sent; all went quite smooth.

nothing comes close at this price
This might be my next light, I have a Bontrager light (expensive but quality) and a Ryder 900 Lumen light (getting a bit old now, my handlebar mounting broke)
Personally, I would look at second hand ask advice here, post some links and the experts will comment but it is nice to pull in that NICE new steed - Enjoy your journey.

The travel/car hire is a fair benefit but also not that great, we recently booked flights for two to cape town from JHB and 7 days car hire for R6420, I think that was good, but the flights alone wasn't that great.
I got more benefit from Multiply with their online shop.
I will have the short of a few years ago, let me check: Sorry I only have one of 2013, I am sure it changed since then. found the 2022 route

Good Question, my wife has a Previous gen Small 27.5 version and it is heavy.
I am very tempted, is there a Carbon option?
Here is what I did to fix my Garmin "soft" strap after it was giving erratic readings, I let it soak in boiling water for roughly 20minutes and repeated then rinsed in cold soapy water, Still going strong.
Doing this one for sure - need to drop at least 4 to 5kg before May.

Whatsapp is going to be the easiest.
Be a good mate and gift him your Garmin and buy yourself a new one - Good excuse for an upgrade.

i was thinking of best option to track my mate in the race, i think whatsapp location sharing might just be the easiest.
Garmin connect has a Group event tracking feature - very easy to use, normaly about 100m off but you need phone to be paired the whole time.

Looking for someone who has a lathe specifically for plastic to trim down a set of spockets on my bakkie. I know it’s not bike related, but it’s a trusted site and I’m sure someone knows someone who could trim them down. Thank you
There is a Place call Chain and Nylon that specializes in Plastic maching, they have some CNC machines with suction beds and many other machines for plastics.

WOW, this sound cool, for future.

Did a few km extra to pip my total for the month over 900km. My biggest month ever.
Well done! following this trend you can do 10k kilometers for 2024
