    947 Ride Joburg

    Here a good article regarding sweat testing and there is a link to a spreadsheet you can download and use, so every time you do a workout you can measure your sweat rate and start to get a better understanding as a starting point. https://www.precisionhydration.com/performance-advice/hydration/how-to-measure-your-sweat-rate/

    947 Ride Joburg

    Was there early and no issues getting parking or car guard problems. Raced hard and then had a few beers with mates, listened to Rubber Duck play and then watched the prize giving. Left without hassle, So a good day to do this race once a year for fun and have fun.... even with the heat. And always great to see the crowds who come out on the day.... not enough thanks is given to them!! Kudos!!
  6. I started with streaming in 2014 playing with a Raspi and XBMC, back then hardly anybody streamed and even a 2mbs ADSL line was good enough to stream. I ran XBMC and kept DSTV for about a year, before stopping DSTV in 2015. I still run XMBC now Kodi 20.2 as my main streaming platform and watch all the cycling on Eurosport. Even Fox Sport (Aus) has cycling as well as ITV4 (UK) for the TdF. You can also find the native media streams if you know where to look, although that takes some effort. I also watch any movie or series and every other sport such as F1 on Sky, ESPN, TSN, Fox etc, some channels quality is better than others as I do not bother with a VPN. Adding a VPN and am sure the quality could be better, but have not felt the need Maybe people might want to look at Kodi again (as it fell out of flavour) when you can direct stream from the likes of Netflix etc. i.e you don't have to set up Netflix like you do have to with Kodi, their builds and then the addons. Install Kodi, install a build, which have many of the most common addons pre-setup and see what you can find as an option for the cycling. I will be watching for sure the much anticipated MvP v WvA cyclocross battle over Xmas as they have both now listed their itinerary/clash on Eurosport. Just waiting to see if Pidcock is in the mix and will continue to watch all other cycling using Kodi. https://kodi.tv/ https://www.everythingkodibuilds.com/p/best-kodi-builds.html Try it, google is your friend on installing kodi, which builds that are the deemed best and then how to install that builds, else google best kodi build for sport etc and decide which build may suit. An option to consider if you can't find any other way with the closing of GCN+ and there is always Tiz-Cycling Edit: There use to be a forum topic on cutting DSTV and using XBMC back in 2015, but doing a search for it, I see it got culled when bikehub got rid of all non cycling threads. Else would direct to that for info. There are still a few I see about alternatives to DSTV if you do a search
  7. Congrats and well done, the heat, humidity and WIND made it quite a challenging race this year! Learn from your experience and marathons on race day if you have done the training are all about pacing and nutrition, get those right and you can have a great day out.
  8. IF YOU PURCHASED AFTERMARKET SRAM 12-SPEED ROAD SHIFTERS BEFORE JULY 2023, KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR RECALL DETAILS https://www.bicycling.com/news/a45701329/sram-recalls-12-speed-road-shifters/ Not just Shimano with issues......
  9. Into administration https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.com/general/news/wiggle-chain-reaction-cycles-goes-into-administration
  10. Wiggle / CRC have started their Black Friday sales already https://www.cyclist.co.uk/buying-guides/wiggle-black-friday-clearance-sales?fbclid=IwAR3UoyadynGogJs4p7Pdkb06ujp9FrIxgvJQ31oKS4FTLAtYV7NH2nXhy3I I guess they are looking for cashflow.....
  11. Why not just record on your garmin at the same time. I do this for all indoor rides and upload for discovery. Indoor ride mode with trainer set as a power meter and not controllable trainer. Mywoosh/Zwift/etc control the trainer, garmin just records the info
  12. Is it the screw that actually fits inside the mount? Try a hobby shop
  13. Click on the technical details button to see how this VO2 is going to work. Still trying to understand it myself

  15. SSU other sport, Tennis-Point also filed for insolvency, so not looking good for the cycling side. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/nukeproof-vitus-chain-reaction-cycles-and-wiggle-face-uncertainty-as-parent-company-restructures.html
  16. Live a healthy lifestyle and yes I do get sick, but not much and still managed to achieve. They have recently introduced free weeks (I currently have 2) that I can use if ever I want to take a week off. You can always walk a Park Run or My Run and get 300 points for doing so, that's 600 points in a weekend for just walking a timed 5km event.
  17. I disagree that it is difficult, I hit 900 points every week without issue or burnout. Currently sitting on 410 weeks streak!
  18. Wiggle/CRC possibly going into administration https://road.cc/content/news/wiggle-reportedly-heading-towards-administration-304591

  22. You could have just logged it as an outdoor sporting event "triathlon" and uploaded your result to get the points. https://www.discovery.co.za/portal/individual/vit-partner-outdoor-sporting-events No need to game the system, just know the system and know where to log a multisport event recorded as a multisport event. I do it for all my triathlons and get the points a day or 2 after.
  23. They stopped supporting it. It is no longer, https://www.facebook.com/groups/rouvyrunning/
  24. Maybe carbon wrap the bike or parts of it?
  25. DA9000 was launched in 2012, my crank is on the list, but think it would have failed by now if it is going to....
