Same here. I can't stand cutting on a glass one. I can hear the knife crying when using one!

In my case the proposed tariffs will actually suit me well. I have 2 houses and my workshop all running on 1 meter so my usage is very high as about three quarters of it is at the higher tier. We currently pay Eskom about R4000 a month.

That's a solid effort. At least what goes up must come down!

Well done everyone on your achievements. I didn't manage nearly what I had hoped for the year but am still happy that I was just able to get out there and ride my bike. I think an interesting metric is to divide the total vert for the year by total distance. I get 15.14 meters per kilometre which equates to 756.5 meters on a 50k ride. Basically, it's not flat where I live. ????

Eish Dale, sorry to hear of your ordeal. Hope you can get everything resolved and that you heal up quickly.

Agreed. Unfortunately he gives the rest of us a bad name while he is on his bike.

Wow. That's a bargain. I just bought the exact same one from takealot for R1399 last week. I did have R650 in ebucks to spend though so I only really paid R750 for it. First impressions are that it seems like a really well put together little unit.

Thanks very much. That helps to put things into a bit better perspective. So roughly 2% of forum users generate over 13% of the forum page views? Is the total forum users stat inclusive of all site-wide users or just the ones who actually visit the forum pages?

Those are some interesting statistics. However, the one I am interested in is not the percentage of page impressions that the off topic section gets compared to the whole site but rather the percentage of the forum section only. I appreciate that only 3.5 percent of the users are active in the off topic section but I would guess that a lot of them are orders of magnitude more active than other casual visitors to the whole site in general. Is it possible to tell us how many page views the whole forum gets compared to how many page views the off topic section gets? Thanks.

Did you find someone to Help.You. ?

Awesome performance from Roglic. I'm loving the man-against-man type of racing we have been seeing at the Vuelta! I worry though that Rog might begin to fade towards the latter part of the race. It's also been great to see Dan Martin putting in a strong, consistent performance.

Solid ride from Tao! I suspect we will see more from the young lad over the coming stages.

Shame, the poor fellow could hardly speak he was shivering so much! Surely there should be blankets at the finish area on a summit finish? It's so nice to see the pure emotion on the face of an unlikely stage winner. ????

Yippeee!!!And the beginning of 5 weeks of nonstop grand tour racing. ????????????

On the other hand, I did a fairly large eft yesterday and a had quite a few calls from an 087 number that I ignored as I assumed it was a spam call. Today they phoned again and I decided to answer. Turned out it was fnb just wanting to verify that it was in fact me who had done the eft. I have often had the bank phone me to verify credit card purchases but this was the first time they had done it for an eft and I was wondering why. Maybe this data breach is making them follow up on out-of-the-ordinary activity on accounts more closely.

Coverage of the live mens event is from 14:30.

This is a good call. I'm going to back you on this one and also give WvA my pick.

I'm sure being fully fat adapted goes a long way to making the first few days of a fast a lot easier.

Coverage starts at 13:20.

There's an interesting little gravel section at the top of the HC climb just after the bonus sprint point of about 1500m. The first 500m looks mostly flat with the last 1000m being about a 5.5% uphill gradient. Could be a spot where some riders either gain or lose a chunk of time.

Looks odd. The profile is a lot smoother on the PCS website. https://www.procyclingstats.com/images/profiles/ap/fa/tour-de-france-2020-stage-18-profile-27dd6ea5e6.jpg

Nice pics Gummi. Thanks for the updates.

Yes! That would make for some interesting viewing!!

Perhaps a nice silvery grey jersey would be fitting!
