  1. Went swimming there this morning....all good although a bit murky (always like that in summer) FYI, I have swum there for 5 years now, every year, never got sick. Not the cleanest but very convenient.
  2. On newsletter they said it would launch on 1 Nov, but I cant see anything yet....
  3. Unfortunately it is being reported on Twitter that rider passed away. Condolences to family and friends, will keep them in my prayers.
  4. As per twitter, very sad!! PigSpotter Cliff @PigSpotter #UPDATE Taxi vs bicycle Van Riebeeck direction Edenvale opposite Golf Shop
  5. So apparently nobody noticed this.....any of you guys Lightning on La Vuelta stage 9 https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/142728-lightning-on-la-vuelta-stage-9/
  6. Did anyone see the lightning on the stage this Sunday? Does anyone know if race officials stop races due to it? It seemed quite dangerous to me, I always head home if I see a highveld thunderstorm approaching!! So did a bit of googling on the inteweb and most seem to agree it is dangerous. Here is website from US (yes lightning also happens there ) http://www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov/outdoors.htm "Motorcyclist/Bicyclist: Protect yourself when on a bicycle, motorcycle or dirt bike. Carry a portable NOAA Weather Radio or listen to commercial radio. If you see threatening skies in the distance and you are near a safe building, pull over and wait 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder before resuming your ride." Would like to hear other riders comments, do we head home and stop races due to thunderstorms?
  7. | :clap: :clap:
  8. Looks like another sunny and clear day Saturday Max of 23 degrees, but always feels like 30 in the sun!!
  9. On the modes, I set up my own triathlon mode on Movescount, its a Swim then "other sports", cycle "other sports" and run. "other sports" = Transition And I tend to also go on feel but just check my HR ever 10min or so. I have a "limit" in mind and don't push above it, the pain vs gain ratio just does not work out for me above the limit (mine is 84%). I normally have about 7.5% higher HR in race. Also just check that I'm not taking it too easy, then helps the mind to push if you see you below your normal level. Rember to hydrate well the weekend (past 2 years were hot and windy), normally warmer than any training you did in last few months, dehydration sneaks up on you. See you there the w/end
  10. Did this one on the weekend, well worth it! Event aimed at "intermediate" riders, beautiful views and not too technical. But don't underestimate the clibs
  11. Great, will do so thanks...and will contact you closer to the dates to set something up!
