    Dont know if it is just publicity or if his sponsors can't afford the eagle but yeah i also thought that was weird.

    "Despite SRAM sending James an XX1 Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, James has opted to stick with the 11-speed XX1. One reason is that he is familiar with the set up after racing on it all season, the other is that his ROTOR crankset, chainring and power meter are not yet compatible with the 12-speed technology. James is somewhat of a data geek and relies on the information his power meter provides during races" From here: https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/gear/insight/bike-check-james-reids-olympic-specialized-s-works-epic-r5386?source=topic

    I have learned a while ago to take everything i want to eat along with me. but i heard a few complaints from guys at the finish regarding the water tables on the 42 at least which wasn't that great. I only took on water at 2 of the tables. I did see one of the tables didn't have any food, or i was soo tired i didn't see any.

    hahahaha never looked back

    Jeeze made the 42...but if it wasnt for my riding partner i would probably still be on the trails. Except where we got onto the tar on helshoogte i never was once held up or had to queue.

    Tell him to look for the fat oom on his anthem. I will be in a wannabee club shirt. I also started in the grabouw one in the first batch, was dorpped within a few hundred (probably first hundred.) meters...

    ja i was checking out lsat years strava profiles for the guys that did the 40 and i was thinking i will get dropped there. and then not to talk about that botsmanskop climb....but alteast thats 99% of the climbing done for the 40.

    I am starting in the first group of the 40k, going to get dropped in the first corner, again.

    I have learned to only trust windguru and they predict rain until tomorrow lunch time and then the temp has dropped from a high mid 20s for sunday to currently 19 max. Basically no wind so it will be a nice day out on the bike if the mud behaves.

    So i finally made my mind up to get the upgrade kit as i need to replace my cassette and chain anyways soon. After checking around a bit i pulled the trigger on the M8000 XT "upgrade kit" from CRC. Ordered the SLX cassette instead of the XT and i paid 2.5k excl shipping and vat. So if you add all of those i paid for my XT/SLX upgrade kit what you would pay (at the cheapest) here for SLX. Got to love the stronger rand/weaker pound. If i compare to some of our local online retailers i saved 25% on exactly the same parts and thats incl DHL shipping and VAT.

    I hate when they build brand new track for an event in the winter because all that loose sand turns into the kakest mud in the world. But my drivetrain is already past its expiry date so it wont hurt my pocket, just not looking forward to all the chainsuck. Was planning on going 1x after weekend, maybe should consider it before.

    Doing my first 40km, also heard the same but i am going with the right relaxed attitude so i'll make small talk while waiting my turn.

    Looks like it, 23' no cloud cover or wind.

    My only concern is no where vitality stated that 1200 is the weekly cap (that i know off) so they can make that higher for the top earners. But with our legal system being in the state it is, will disco win a court case if you sue them over this crap? Yes i know we (those that took) signed contracts with disco saying we will stick to the rules. But i cannot think that one can just do what ever they like. What if your bank comes to you and say yes uhm we decided that youre house payments will stay the same but because 2 mil 5 years ago is actually 8 mil in todays money we are going to make you payback 8 mil instead of 5 mil. Isnt that the same crap? Or have i just not had my first cup of coffee yet.

    Every time i swipe my card at the gym they announce on the speaker "Please fetch the zamboni, Cobus is here"
  23. lerouc
    Maybe some people can do more than one discipline?
  24. lerouc
    They dont bother with mops when i am done, they call in one of those zamboni's!
