Dankie tog plaat en nie saad nie. London? Eish wena. So jou bearings roes gereeld? Pieman het so stil geword en my begin ignoreer. Ek blameer hom nie. 🤣 Die beeste hy loop. Saam die varke en skape. Mos een groot Simunye die kant.

Leef jy nog ou?!?!?! Sexy bike that.

I was a big supporter of the GP5000 until the pricing just killed me. Crossed over to the Goodyear F1 R in the 28mm. https://www.goodyearbike.com/tires/eagle-f1-r/ I got on my previous GP5000 5700 km before my first puncture. This is normally the first indication that the tyre is getting thin. (Besides the markers that get faint on the tyre) With the Goodyear I got 7749 km. Very impressed. Currently I am trying out the Vector R tyre from Goodyear in the 30mm. Cannot feel any huge difference at the moment between the Vector and the F1. Have around 1300km on it at the moment with no issues.

If you are doing stuff like this then you are (in my opinion) missing the whole point why the festive 500 was created. Back in the day indoor did not even count as an activity. The idea is to get out. Face the elements. Do adventures. Feel the sun (or snow) on your face. Brain dead, chasing kilometers, indoor sessions are just that. Kilometers. Its good but it is not what the challenge is about.

Ai jai jai wena. My nuts just went straight up next to my kidneys.

Going for #13 Weather in Gauteng does not look too great for the week ahead though. And then the "double up" with the Versus Back to Base challenge starting 1-10 Jan. Legs should be toast by middle Jan...........😬

It's not about the miles. Well it is but it is secondary. It's about the adventure. "I did 10 cradle laps" vs "I had a beer at a dodge shebeen 100km from home on some dusty road"

Very cool. Will see on the line then. Yah, totally forgot about the neutral zone stuff which should be factored in. 🤭

So far, so good

Near perfect day weather wise. Bit on the hot side but otherwise not much wind. No rain. Sub 3 Stats: And then the smaller "Elite" group of batches that delivered the Times 2:30

I have a set. Not the "magic pill" of recovery. It works but only up to a %. How much of it is placebo, I cannot measure. What I definitely WILL miss if I did not do it/have it is my massage gun. That.....to me....works VERY good for recovery

slight chance in hell that I'll have one. Will check tonight.

I am assuming that he starts in Elites? What time does the Elites start?

You called it. I had my money on closer to R50k. This will fill up quick. Lots of rich cyclist for the picking. Myself? Hard pass. I'll do my own touring through the karoo and stay in amazing places and still come in under R50k. Villiage jippoguts excluded.
