nope, Skynet there local system don't link with international realtime

Make sure you use the local tracking after it cleared customs, not international tracking. Mine did not show any updates on international until was delivered, but local tracking showed last few steps

Just for guys still waiting: This is extract from email from CRC . So you could refuse delivery and get refund... but maybe just check before trying "In light of this, we would recommend to either refuse the deliveries requesting further payment to have them returned to us for a refund, or pay the fees and email over the receipts as proof payment and we will try to work out what the complete customs value should have been and resolve it accordingly."

Make sure to email CRC about it. they said 2-3 days. Maybe you get useless gift voucher as well At least they will know it took much longer

Skynet is pathetic Placed the order, CRC shipped it in 2 shipments as from 2 different warehoused (only knew that after the order was shipped), had to pay double R350 "admin fee" and also Skynet waited for money to show in there bank account first before releasing it (adding another 2 days) (WTF), Also had to use 3 Skynet sites to track the shipment, UK, then international local, then local to try figure where package is. I emailed CRC and got the same generic reply from CRC. They gave me 20gbp gift voucher valid for 3 months to say sorry... not sure what going to buy with it as have to pay stupid clearance fees again.

just subscribing to thread… fomo

Did someone check out the top trail runner. 24 laps of think ~5km each .. Thats 124km running.....

I was ok for the first 300m .. died for next 80km and then body said hell no. Had very pleasant last 70km riding at my own slow pace, taking pictures and talking crap to many a straggler. thanks to all the teams that passed and offered me a place to hook on, although I wanted to, legs was just not there. It was major wakup call on how unfit I became the last few months. Time to get back in saddle. All and all brilliant day, scenery is spectacular and team spirts (except for 1 or 2) was amazing. Definitely recommend the race to all , bring the climbing legs and good spirits!

You might have to qualify what you mean by "black". If its non-white then there are major % of blacks riding. If its apartheid era black, then you might be right , there not so many.

See this often in "funrides" .. right in middle of pack going full vroom .. Maybe I'm wrong thinking that sucking wheel behind 20 others have same effect?

Brilliant Race.. although I bonked badly or something .. just saw some stars after Chappies and went recovery mode on lap1. My only gripes was on lap 2: 1: No food at stalls. Last time around there tons to eat, so did not pack any extras, was crap to ride with coke/poweraid for 5 hrs. 2: How did the guys get e-bikes into the start shoots ???? 3: Don't cycle with earphones in, you MIGHT think you can hear others, you cannot. Rip to riders and marshal

There old saying @%#1 Happens, but its they way you deal with it that matters

I'm going to be really EFF 'ed off it the rumours are true....

Biggest issue is to manage the Central DB of numbers. But ASA doing it now online for 6? years. We build the system those days and not touched it again. +- 120k users now and just works. Think biggest issue is that the provinces/clubs have to manged the allocation of numbers so cyclist will need to join a club (like runners) before getting number

on facebook:

Overhydration and dehydration have very similar symptoms But overhydration is not very easy to achieve, unless there something else wrong (heart/liver/kidney etc) How much where you drinking, should be +- 1 bottle per hour? Edit: also, what is in the water you drinking?

Meh

I asked same thing then asked inside people Its at Uitkyk farm, search for Arra on google. from route maps we finish bit more north, so assume cycle back to start again

Late entries on friday still availble

anyone know here the start is . Website don't have info

Guess high saddle, rocking around to much trying to reach the pedals. But really difficult to say. Maybe try take photo of you on bike. Go for bike fit, you should not have any discomfort, maybe after 5 hrs, but def not before 1 hr.

I was/is in fortunate position to have owned series 2 and 3 landrovers and currenlty own 40-50 year old vehicles as my daily drivers.. You learn that driving at 80km/h only piss of other people, you get to your destination relaxed and on time (just leave bit earlier). There really no need to rush; if you are late, you're late, live with it. There is nothing so important that you have to drive like maniac and kill someone else..

I did it from 1g 06:33:30 in 2016 and first round of 3:11. I had time to spare

Simple : I did 2 laps last time it because goes to charity and this time i'm doing it as it was damn lot of fun todo second lap. The first lap I have no clue what i'm doing, i just see black/red/white/stars also, I don't stop on first lap .. so 2nd lap I make sure I stop at all points and eat myself silly

Battery probably went flat
