Winter training really paying off.!

Opportunists lurking all day long it seems. Busier roads don't seem to deter them.

Cape Town Giants ride from Rygersdal Sports Complex. You should be able to reach them via FB.

This. 👆 Get the correct contact details from Jannis. There are multiple groups supported by PPA so possible that the contact/whatsapp details may have changed. Keep in mind that some groups may also just be slow to restart after winter. Their "Intermediate" group has definitely been riding weekly ... perhaps you could even consider jumping in there.

Apologies... once the first barrier is breached is what I meant. 😊

Tubeless road tyres, from a puncture perspective, are only as good as the sealant inside ... but that's a different conversation/thread. 🙃

So every event live except for the main attractions ... 🤦‍♂️

Would be interesting to see how many times CL have been called out for this sort of thing over the years ...

Then I don't know ... Been a while since I've used trainer tyres so perhaps they are just inferior and no longer give the same mileage as earlier versions.

Tacx, Scwalbe and Continental are probably the most common/popular. All should have a longer lifespan than what you've experienced. Are you set up correctly.? Too much pressure on the tyre perhaps.?

The issue I was having wasn't so much the traffic from behind, but when moving into the traffic lane to avoid runners and having an oncoming vehicle suddenly overtaking at high speed at the same time ... 🤬

Yesterday was the first time I had concerns on the Llandadnou - Green Point stretch returning from Chappies. ☹ The number of speeding vehicles overtaking while walkers and runners were inevitably pushing cyclists out into the traffic lane was scary. Be safe out there peeps.

Lots of opportunists out there ... take care everywhere if riding alone. I imagine it's less of an issue at any of the mentioned spots if in a group.

Time for a dedicated thread.? 🤔 LOL

Not on FB but suspect it's the Chapman's Peak incident I've seen going around other platforms.? I thought it was Argus that released the crazy but seems DC does an even better job. 🤦‍♂️
