  1. Went riding there a bunch of times at the start of 2021. Was well maintained and access is good, just enter via die pedestrian gate at 30th Ave and Crots, or alternatively at the reservoir past Wonderboom HS. Haven't been riding there lately but we did a short walk with the family a couple of months back and all seems in good nick. Might be heavily overgrown now with all the rain, so just take it easy.
  2. I might be late to the party on this, but seems Zwift leaked some info on their planned IDTs: https://zwiftinsider.com/zwift-ride-wheel/ I wouldn't kick it out of bed...
  3. Lekker Boytjies! Massive fight shown in the series!
  4. Winning this Test and Series will give the current squad so much positive vibes, I really hope they can pull this off. We deserve a solid run again away from the drama that plagued our cricket in the recent past.
  5. Stolen: MERIDA BIG NINE When: 11/01/2022Where: , Villieria, Pretoria, GautengGet further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section.
  6. Just saw this on his Insta
  7. Prices are in pounds in this article, but it gives an idea. The author gives some valuable insights. For me, it just shows what is possible, even though it is currently not feasible for many. https://www.cyclingnews.com/reviews/supersapiens-review-the-first-continuous-blood-glucose-monitor-for-performance/
  8. Have you seen the bikes that some of us ride, as weekend warriors....?

  10. Some stats from a rider in the Pro Peloton, as reference:
  11. Nowhere near the totals of other guys on here, but my split was 45% Running, 43% Cycling.
  12. Klein-Brak, this morning. XIOAMI REDMI NOTE 7
  13. For those in-the-know, what do accommodation places go for during a Ironman event? In-laws recently bought a place in Klein-Brak, about 10mins away from the event start listed above. 2.5 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms bottom section of the property is ideal to be rented out to holiday makers. Just wondering what the typical daily rate is and the duration that an athlete typically stay for. View from the property, taken right now:
  14. The one thing the report confirmed for me was just how bad a year it was wrt training. I did less than a third of the cumulative training hours compared to 2020. Dealing with Covid in the middle of the year and slowly coming back to form meant that no records were broken. But I am content with where I am physically, all things considered. 2022 is going to be much better, fingers crossed.
  15. Autocorrect... Methinks
  16. Sure, then he wins, regardless of whether there are lapped car/s in front of him or not. He is the next car on the lead lap.
  17. I think it is Naas(or Nick Mallet) who said that you need to have your gameplay on such a high level that a wrong refereeing decision will not be able to take the win away from you. Springboks got that right at RWC 2019. (The SF against Wales was way too close in that aspect) But some matchups are just so tight that it is impossible to get that far ahead and you unfortunately need to live with the losses as much as you live with the wins that come from those 50/50 calls. This year was insanely tight between Max and Lewis and it is absolutely a fair reflection on the season that a controversial refereeing decision seems to be a major factor in deciding who won the Championship. But there were MANY such decisions throughout the year, not just this one. Any one of them could have swung it one way or another, it was that close. LEWIS would have been a Worthy champion if the dice fell his way in this last race. MAX is a worthy champion, even taking into account the fall of the dice on those last laps at Abu Dhabi. MERCEDES deserves the Constructors Championship, that car and Engine is MEGA!
  18. Theoretically yes, but practically, I don't see Sainz going past Max on that Lap, Max was a man possessed... Maybe Sainz could go past Lewis if Sainz was also on Fresh SOFTS like Max, I couldn't see if Sainz pitted under safety car from the highlights, looked like he was still on the White HARDS at the restart.
  19. It was a massive gamble. When Latifi crashed I checked the laps remaining and thought it is very tight to get that car cleaned off the track AND have some racing. This race will be talked about for decades to come. Which is good for the F1 brand actually.
  20. By his team's tactics, yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNOkB81j7QQ It was at this moment that Lewis knew he was in deep trouble.
  21. I can see the Mercedes argument. Lewis was: Lap 53-P1, Lap 54-P2 But Sainz was: Lap 53-P3, Lap 54-P3 I fail to see how he was disadvantaged. Thus the reason I say this is just lawyers looking for a payday.
  22. But, Sainz did not lose his position on that final lap. He finished 3rd,behind Lewis . I don't see how it disadvantaged him. https://www.racefans.net/2021/12/12/2021-abu-dhabi-grand-prix-interactive-data-lap-charts-times-and-tyres/
  23. I don't understand, Sainz then finished 3rd? Where are the lapped cars they refer to? Between him and Max? So they think they could have had a shot at 2nd? Seriously?! Did they watch the same race that we did? I think this is just fishing for some sort of payout/compensation while everyone else is bashing on the FIA. (I want to draw parallels between the 2020 US elections and these court cases, but unfortunately Rudby Gioliani was on more solid ground with his lawsuits that any of these) PS. Last paragraph said completely TIC
  24. Jissie, one really needs distrust one's AutoRead brain. I never looked at the actual twitter handle. Tim Hoakes... My brain is fried from this year. AND, I can almost imagine Tim saying something like this.
  25. Nevermind. Hoakes account...
