    I suspect there will be deals to be had on most trainers from the end of June (maybe even earlier). New models will be announced at Eurobike (8 July). So keep your eyes out of stores/brands clearing out current stock...

    How do you make use of this special? Buy direct from their website?

    Hey Not sure where you are based. I'm selling a lot of our camping stuff. Can offer you an 8 man tent at the same price. About 2 years old - used about 5 times, so in good nick... Don't have the photos on this pc but can send them if needed. Also got a bunch of accessories too if needed...

    All the Facebook details point to Willie. So not sure about the 'buy out' rumor... https://www.facebook.com/pg/adrenalinbikes98/about/?ref=page_internal

    Hi Yes, in theory. What happens in the Group is generally as follows: the software increases your virtual speed on screen to represent bunch riding. So in theory, you could drop your watts to maintain your original speed. However, this seldom happens - all the guys in the bunch just keep pumping out the same watts. So your speed increases but you don't really 'feel' any respite. Downhill is similar. You will maintain a fairly high virtual speed while just spinning the pedals. But it doesn't feel anything like the road. Some of the high end trainers handle freewheeling better than others - but in general, freewheeling on an IDT is a non starter...

    you have it summed up pretty well. Zwift = online riding against / with real people. They do have a 'structured workout' section. But in general the platform is more gear towards real life interaction and live workouts. Trainer Road = one of the go-to apps for specific training plans / goals etc. Structured workout without any frills. Do your workout, follow the graph/numbers etc on screen. And then of course, you can import your Trainer Road training plan into Zwift and do the workouts with all the nice graphics. If you haven't already, check out DC rainmaker for indepth info...https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/11/trainer-apps-guide.html

    I've been on the receiving end of both scenarios. As a newbie having the fast bunch whizz past is pretty off putting. And as a long route rider catching up with the slower short route riders is always a problem. As for the CTCT, this should never happen. Anyone doing a second lap should be doing it for a jol - not to try do two sub 3's. You've had your chance to race, now let the Group 5 riders ride their own ride... Just my opinion...

    so who knows Tracy or Glyn? what a difference a second makes (to some)...

    Thanks. I have a friend who can't ride. Want to take over his entry, but don't see any options on the website. Will try mail/ring them...
  11. Dubber
    subs still open?
  12. Dubber
    Agreed... When doing the N7 bit we had the marshal next to us asking everyone to stay in the YELLOW line...

    If you plan on riding 'loads' then annual membership is the way to go. Average trail cost is around R50 - and you can easily do three trails in 1 day. So, 5 days riding and you break even. And you get to use all the links/traverses etc Just do it!

    Agreed. I finished top 20 twenty in the group. But the time/index is nowhere near the next seed group. I think there should be a 'free for all' seed group. Only requirement is you do your turn at the front! I'm sure this Group would be faster than most of the groups - not because of seeding, simply because everyone in the Group is working to a common goal
  15. Dubber
    I'm 0.1 off the next seed group
  16. Dubber
    same thing on my side. Not sure if payment cleared?
  17. Dubber
    I can smell the thatch from here :-) Looks like a nice set up. I'm hoping you have a big stacker or sliding door off to the right where you can enjoy the evening thundershowers while you ride.

    We had the same scenario. B group just didn't want to work together. So we went through at (what I felt was) a fairly sedate pace. About 50 from C group did catch us (don't think it was whole of C). Enough to swell the bunch to a size where a number of riders chose to go over the white line at numerous points. The upside to the pace was I still had some legs for the finish and had PB's up all the climbs. A good ride. Weather played along. Marshals were all great. Organizations as good as could be. Thanks 99er TEAM!

    Got to add something about the EXPO in there. And maybe a question or two about what deep sections to run on newly tarred chapmans decent ...
  20. Dubber
    yep - I'm sure I could come right with one of those. Thanks!
  21. Dubber
    I don't need that one specifically - any brand will do for now. It's a one off project that I need to measure some angles...
  22. Dubber
    cheers - thanks. I was hoping to find somewhere local where I could pop around and pick one up. But if I don't come right at least I now know where I can get a decent one at a reasonable price. Cheers!
  23. Dubber
    Not woodworking specific but thought you guys would know if anyone does: Where can I get something similar to the image below (builders protractor - not sure of the exact name)... Tried the local hardware stores with no luck.... Thanks
  24. Dubber
    Hey Skubarra - do you have a link to the new tariffs? Cheers
  25. Dubber
    I'm not a runner - but from mates that are, it's all about intervals :-) I'm sure the runners will give you some more advice.
