Just pop a CrampEase every 30minutes, only thing that resolved my cramps on long hot rides like 947. (I've done plenty of 21ks and one 32k, never get cramps while running)

I'm in the market for a specific Canon Camera and Lens. I went so far as to set up a EXCEL spreadsheet to keep track of prices. Prices in September/OCTOBER were proper specials, 20% lower than current "Specials". Stuff right now is just inflated retail prices with supposed "savings". Delayed gratification will win out in the end. I'll keep a tight grip on my Randelas till somewhere in the new year when they want to make revenue targets again thank you very much.

Talking out of personal perspective: -Cycling in general has seemingly become unacceptably dangerous. Road cycling, even more so. I'm only referring to the training part, but this leads to less people saddling up for races. Having small kids, I cannot risk it anymore, it's not worth it. -Having 8x 947's under the belt, including a double Lap, and a couple of sub 3's, there remains little in terms of "Goals" to chase for me. I need a goal to work towards to motivate me. Unfortunately for the organizers, little to nothing they can do with regards to the above two points. Different tactic they can try: maybe they could target big corporates harder, try to get them hyped up and challenge their "competitors to see who can have the biggest numbers at the race. ABSA vs NEDBANK, Discovery vs Momentum. They might need to start to think outside the box to attract entrants.

Some Inverters have a setting where you can dictate how many AMPS it can charge the batteries at from "GRID". I set mine to the lowest possible value(I think it is set to 16A at 48V) to be able to use my 2200W generator. It strains, but doesn't pull the generator down too much.

What has been the highlights of La Vuelta? Here's mine: 1) Unlikely GC Kuss in Red and whether he will be allowed to hold on to it till Madrid. 2) Remco shipping time in GC, then bouncing back with stage wins. 3) Jumbo Visa dominant in taking the entire GC podium. Outside that, nothing too memorable, or did I miss something?

Yeah, there is something there with Roglic. Jonas on the other hand sat up at the finish to give Sepp some seconds back.

Is it my imagination, or is Roglic and Jonas riding for Sepp here?

Jonas now moved up to ride in front of SK. Cmon Sepp!

5min lead on the Peloton...

I've got a bad feeling that Sepp's time in red will end at the end of today on the bloody last mountain stage. It was fun while it lasted buddy. If Sepp can't be in Red, then I'd prefer Jonas instead of Roglic... for the possibility to have him hold all three Jerseys at the same time by going for Pink next year.

Any betters out there might want to put a R50 on Remco for today:

Sep Kuss still in RED! Love it. But Vingegaard pulled back plenty of time on him today. Jumbo Visma sitting with a fantastic problem: which one of the three leaders should they back for overall GC victory. Each guy has his merits. GC Kuss - Winning a Grand Tour would be wonderful reward for all the years of dedication to others Iceman Vingegaard - Winning Vuelta now will mean he has two of the three... only one left to then complete the set. Might even consider going for the Giro next year to hold all three jerseys at the same time? Ski-jumper Roglic - Already with 3x Vueltas and a Giro, this will give him his 5th Grand Tour(4th Vuelta). Maybe he should let Vingegaard take this one and have Vingegaard go for Giro next year, that way Roglic can go for Le Tour and finally get his Yellow in ParisNICE! BUT, I have a feeling The Angliro will make the decision for Jumbo Visma tomorrow. Weak legs here will ship big chunks of time.

Apologies for being that guy, but please note the following with regards to UNITS of measure: kW is the rate of consumption. Think of it as speed. kWh is the total amount of energy used. This is what you get billed on by the municipality. Think of it as distance traveled. Example: Your geyser has a 3kW element that heats the water. If it is on for 2 hours, the amount of energy consumed is as follows: RATE x Time = ENERGY 3kW x 2 hours = 6kWh 3kW x 0.5 hour = 1.5kWh

Floyd Llandis vibes...? 😈

Lost 27mins today..😲 Only reason to stick around would be to hope to recover to go hunt a stage win.

already 1:40 behind GC group with 87km to go! JV to go 1, 2 and 3 on GC?

GC Kuss in RED!

Aaaaaand, he's dropped Hang in there buddy!

GC Kuss FTW!

Time for GC Kuss to put the opposition away.. Jumbo Vismq 1, 2 and 3 on GC will be impressive..

Brilliant setup, we've also got the same. "Hey Google, driveway lights on" "Hey google, Open Gate" eWelink App takes too long to load, so voice commands are a game changer
