That was my gut feeling as well

How reliable is the fitness measure on Training Peaks? My form always aligns or rises with fatigue hitting zero after a taper but fitness stays around 60? Sometimes lower I train consistently around 8 hours a week, without about 80% in zone 2 and the balance a solid spread across threshold , O2Max etc

Have to say, looking back - such a pity that much of this thread was not about the performances of the athletes and gear on display.

It’s a team event , so not Beers per se . His partner was clearly the weaker link.

I’m out in Tulbagh, the heat is unbearable, I cannot imagine doing anything exercise related in these conditions, reckon the fall out rate for today is going to be monumental.

Reading about the lack of decent facilities etc is just unacceptable for an event of this nature, actually pathetic!

Yeah, easy for us armchair experts to pass commentary, in fact Gerald mentioned that for many it’s daily management of effort so to walk today means more energy to tackle tomorrow. The lack of skills for the singles is another story but maybe people are so scared of a race ending fall?

Probably mentioned on another thread Clint Elliot at CE Cycles in Tokai - great mechanic and equally great guy as well!

Ah okay! Definitely well priced

I also did the RVR last year, was a nice event , all be it a bit of a small one . The time of year also makes it “safer” weather wise .

Anyone here done this event?

Well done on your results. We chatted on the forum same time last year around your improvements in LY’s race and now you’ve gone even better , At LY’s weight we’re about similar, don’t think i can get to around 91kg- perhaps I can with some real focus, My seeding took a hit this year as I didn’t do enough races and had a race ending mechanical in the winelands tour to boot. That being said, I missed this year’s event due to work travel, a pity as conditions were prime and i reckon so was my prep.

How do these last minute entries work? Can one do a late sub at the expo? Thought not, so are these people riding with other people’s numbers?

Really special, a mate of mine has been doing the buggy for years , really touching to see the enjoyment on the kids’ faces .

😳 might change thing! Typical Cape Town style
