I'm relaxed .. just spend 2 days in hospital wards, so my sore throat I'm just blaming on that. /me looking up 1 day cures for corona

Honest question (dunno been discussed yet)... Seeing UAE tour been cancelled due to Corona virus, what is probability it will affect CTCT ?

I see it as charity donation and a chance to actually enjoy the views and people. First lap i see f-all and stop nowhere and no clue what going on (except that i'm sufferting).... If you really want to overthink it ... Why don't top groups get discounted entries as they never stop at water points?

Last time i did twice the start groups was running late , so when i got back the 3rd last bunch just started leaving and think my time was 3:10, so its doable.

What the weather predictions?

Below is what we do for images , google gives site about 95-100 for page speed. Image loaded is determined on device width . Each image is about 14kb on large screens. Total page size with 10 listings is 558kb/224kb on the wire with all visible images above fold loaded. As you scroll, rest gets loaded as it gets above fold. 2nd visit (after js/css cached on pc) , 200kb /62kb on the wire. <picture class=""> <source class="" srcset="https://www.example.co.za/main/cache/image/9861/9/0/98619/small/cottage-exterior.jpg" media="(max-width: 740px)"> <source class="" srcset="https://www.example.co.za/main/cache/image/9861/9/0/98619/small_sq/cottage-exterior.jpg"> <img id="listing_image_98619" class=" mx-auto d-block rounded img-thumbnail img-fluid delay_load " title="Cottage Exterior" alt="Cottage Exterior" style="min-height:160px;min-width:90%" src="https://www.example.co.za/main/cache/image/9861/9/0/98619/small_sq/cottage-exterior.jpg"> </picture>

should not change anything on load times. You load the non visible images only after click (use lazy load if you lazy). Also use picture with different image src based in viewport size to optimize image delivery based in device

iPhone 6 I launched site while back with same amount pics etc, ill go check what i did to get speed fast,

images was just blank on zoom click yesterday. I tried it now and it loads eventually, its just very slow it seems. Will check more detail when back at pc also on mobile view, header is all overlapping

Just to also say, zoom don't work on IPAD on classified either, which is really PIA when you try to buy a bike and no details on the advert and need to zoom in to see frame size /make etc

2019 seeding only goes to K? now.. After argus guess will change again Latest indexes is on one of the event threads i think

Was checking stats now .. On the DC my average power was 178w for 30km/h , around the pot the average was 170W for 20km/h, distance 40km difference, but climb was about same.. Both events I did lots of drafting and alot of sitting in the wind. Guess one can easily gain 5-7km/h with bit more appropriate wheels/tyres , I did it on 2.4's and one cannot really call them very efficient on the rolling test on smooth roads. Wonder of some gp4000's will fit on my 29er's rims

I did on my hardtail , it was good day out, but would have loved something more efficient on dirt roads..

The 100miler is very up/down/up/down/up/down Get lightweight bike (gravel bike perfect) and make sure you can do 30-120 second climbs... repeatedly My 2019 Strava ride and you can see the profile... https://www.strava.com/activities/2548036697 Definitley an experience, and must do event..

Looking at this, I keep on wonder why I even still pay medical aid. Ours used to cover alot, now 90% we have to pay cash, nothing is covered anymore.. no dental, no glasses, no doc visits , and we on the 2nd highest option with savings. told my wife it will be better to take the money we pay each month, put it into money market. We will have within 1 year more than we spend on all medical bills on average for last 10 year , and that includes alot of hospital visits, hysterectomy , neurologist vistits , glasses, dentists etc.

last year lots of 2nd lappers only left after 10 , so don't think they so strict going be interesting to see what index requirement is going to be ,they desperate for more entries, might even make it higher...

Add about 10 minutes if good conditions, 25 if breezy. (From my times)

and for next question for those needing to know which events was used for your seeding : http://seeding.cycletour.co.za/findme.aspx?ss=2&eid=2020

seeding on racetec

So perfect on 23mm at 8.5bar ?

Is just me or do images zoom in classified not work in Edge browser, its fine in FF? Edit: added some of the console errors ........

F5 button now relieved

for last 10 years I always had to say no to work, the last 4 months I have just enough to cover the costs and have to wait long time for payment. 2 friends have to downscale massively (10-20 year old companies) just to not run in the red. Its gonna be a interesting 2020....
