+1 for the CPT course

Thanks I'll wait for Frail to respond then I'm sure he will be able to give me some good advice with regards to a route then.

Hi All, I am contemplating riding from Cape Town to Johannesburg and was wondering if there was anyone on the hub that has actually done this trip before or one similar to it? I am battling to work out a route with an approximate 100 to 120km a day maximum distance. I can basically work out day one to either Paarl or Ceres and then the distances become more like 200 odd km to the next point that I can make out. Any ideas on a route would be appreciated? Thanks

Awesome, thanks I'll give it a try later.

Hi All, Does anybody know if I can use the Tracks for Africa maps on a Garmin Edge 800, also does the routing work properly too? Thanks

Thanks, I'll give that a try this evening

Yep, tried another USB cable and a different port.

Yes I have, but because the PC doesn't "see" the Garmin web updater doesn't connect to it either :-(

Hi All, I am currently experiencing issues when trying to upload data from my Edge 705 to my PC, as soon as I connect the Edge to the PC it turns on and immediately starts looking for satellites instead of connecting in PC mode. I have tried a soft restart, deleted all of the ride data and created new data, did a total restart of the Edge where I had to re-input all of my data again time zone, bike settings etc. reloaded the USB drivers, reloaded the communicator package, restarted an exercise - stopped it - reset - turned off and nothing seems to work every time I connect it goes straight to looking for satellites as if it is trying to continue a ride that was stopped and not reset properly. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea. How do I do that?

Hi All, can anyone tell me where I can get a set of pannier bags in Cape Town? I have looked at the Cycle Touring website but am looking for a bit more of a selection and that I can actually have a look at before buying. Thanks in advance.

Not wanting to start a whole debate again, but we were on our way back from the Gravel Travel yesterday and saw a rider who had been involved in an incident with a car on the corner of Contermanskloof and Potsdam Roads. Does anybody know how he is? we didn't stop because there was already a number of people who had stopped and seemed to have everything under control (guy was under a space blanket and there were a couple of people standing around him) just wanted to know if he is alright.

Hi All, can anybody tell me where I can get my Magic Light repaired in the CPT area? I was fidling around with one of the Micky mouse ears and managed (I think) to break one of the conector wires in the process, the main center light still works but the two "ears" now both don't work. My own fault entirely so was just wondering if there is anyone in CPT that I could take it to fix it for me. Thanks

Does anyone have any idea when the PPA seeding run is supposed to take place? I heard that it was going to be around now but still only see seeding rides from February in my current seeding.

I use a magicshine rear light and another backup just in case but as you can see the magicshine is plenty bright enough. I think
