What do you guys say is the ideal gear ratio for the new course? How do those hills on the new course compare to some of our hills in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town? Any one with some ideas - is it like Vissershok or Odendaal Street? I just want to be sure I don't have to push my bike on the day. Need some advise please ...

During last week I was at 90, but this morning weight in at 91.3 after the weekend

I dipped under the 92kg's on Thursday and Friday, but after yesterday's braai I am back up to 92.6

92,8kg

Chris what is the name of this program you using to track the kCal? Looks very user friendly

93.3KG

I am in ... Starting weight - 94kg Height - 181 cm Target weight - 85kg

Thanks for the advise Tankman!

Do one need to join PPA or CSA if you only want to do fun rides? Are there any advantages?

I would also prefer a shorter route ...

I would like to join on Saturday ... might get left behind during the last 20km's up Vissershok, but that's OK.

So I ordered my indoor trainer, carpet, sweat cover and some tyres for R4 275 and pay thru paypal account. However today I received letter from post office to come and fetch my stuff and I should bring R1 966,69 with!!!! 46% import duties!!!! Please tell me something is wrong and I can do something about it. I was budgeting on paying an extra 14% VAT on these purchases, but mot an extra 46%!!!

I know there is a lot of threads on this subject, but could not find info what I am looking for. What is the import duties on Indoor Trainer (tacx) and accessories? How long does it take to deliver to CT and do they deliver to door? Thanks in advance for all the advice

and any of 669 ... red cervelo, red helmet, blue top?
