  1. Compared to R222 for 219km recently, it does seem steep...
  2. How about coordinating Event Dates @Pedal Power Association? At least locally... This is the same date as the Boland 100miler, an event that "claimed" this date probably a year ago already.
  3. Hhhmmm... Seems slow is relative!
  4. Not wanting to play into @WaldoZ's popcorn-eating fetish, but how does a this year 3:20 CTCT lands one in the same group with a last year 5:30?! You have a rep around here though @Jewbacca, so I'll be glued to your back-wheel until B catches us 😎.
  5. Not to alarm anybody, but... Road from Val de Vie, all the way to the right-turn to Dutoitskloof, is a big construction site (so much for the live in the rural quiet Winelands...) - what will this mean for Tour du Cap and Boland 100 miler? Road was very busy this past Sunday, at the time these events typically roll through there...
  6. 🙄 Bellville Velodrome track is 250m? (Why the self deprecation vibe from others? There is nothing wrong with Bellville Velodrome, is there?)
  7. Virtually immediately... But then, as @Frosty said, you might get (auto) audited, so it may be "retracted" shortly thereafter.
  8. "Problem" is you and John are commenting on an erroneous comment of power attributed to Jonas/Pogi. It is ᵉw/kg not w/kg. Read all about it! - here: https://lanternerouge.com/2023/02/07/watts-primer/ 😉
  9. Pun intended? 😇
  10. SNAP!
  11. Sela...
  12. That's about 5 seconds... /s IDT plus Youtube for me (Why pay for Zwift = there is always cycling content to catch up on, on Youtube.)
  13. "WFH" in the mornings - you can log in / be in the office, by 12:00!
  14. Ja... ja... You drive a hard deal! I was about to post about that - it was far better specced though, and a newer model 😉. OP, it is a good bike, if in good nick, but not vintage yet, so offer R3k and walk away if not accepted.
  15. People (We) tend to forget that shops absorb, and absorb, and absorb, hoping that things will improve. When they worsen, it is not only that worsening, plus the last 3 months' inflation, that need to be allowed for (in our thinking). Not possible really (or worth your time), but I think you might see a different picture emerge if you monitor the price of an item over its life-time, at a shop?
  16. Geez, you're not thin skinned - you have no skin...
  17. A cup is 48 tsp? Hence this is more like 4:1, whereas (updated) conventional wisdom calls for 1:1?
  18. Ashleigh will both waking up early to do a 79km "race" with 3 "climbs" She'll be riding with those ladies?
  19. 100%. The 2nd lap was given official status, because people were doing it already anyway, so they saw a way to make money of it. Now it will just be free again...
  20. 👍 Name all the lady winners of the Detour...
  21. Did you get a family deal when buying those 3 x bikes, plus 3 x head units, plus 3 x Smart trainers? /s

    [EVENT] Tour de PPA

    When last did you guys see "Fruit Sellers" there? No matter what time of day, day of the week, I pass there: Nada. (THe name will stick, like The Argus for CTCT!)
  23. I'll leave these three statements, without further comment: - I am 57 years old; - I've been seeded in &; - There are leagues (and leagues ) between me, @bleedToWinand @Jbr; - (OK, a bonus one) My FTP is probably very low Z2 for them...
  24. @bleedToWin... - 2nd step Western Cape Champs Vets A; - 3rd step yesterday for Vets A PE Herald. ... & yet only good enough for & group.
  25. You forgot to mention Maroeshka's heroic break early on. Watch the areal footage on @bleedToWin's Instagram story and you'll see the commissaire's vehicle had no influence whatsoever. https://www.instagram.com/stories/wilcostr/3035986842863808543/
