  1. It took some time to figure out, but basically you have to install the Doomzday Build then from that install the Aspire Build. Restart the app. Once open, scroll the bottom menu through the categories. Eurosport is listed. ☕ https://www.vpnhacks.com/aspire-kodi-build.html
  2. After a few runarounds I finally got to some Eurosport 1 and 2 channels. It's only live TV though. Any way we can watch anything non-live on demand or do we have to wait for the reruns? Kodi newbie here.
  3. My subscription ends on 14th. I have looked into the option of paying for Eurosport via paypal, but you still need to link a US card or bank account otherwise the payment is geo-blocked. The only other way I think it could work, is to use two paypal accounts: one to pay a balance in USD to the other and use the paypal balance to pay for subscription. What a schlep.
  4. Try Paypal. I would still like to see if it works. But will do after 19 Dec.
  5. Insert the battery the wrong way around for 30 seconds then flip around again. It worked for me when I had the same issue.
  6. Yes. Recovery rate is so quick due to their conditioning. They would have most likely done intervals anyway.
  7. At least we got the notifications to an online SAIDS course from Gauteng Cycling, but not enough has been done to motivate riders to attend. Riders generally don’t think that they could be doping accidentally. Once we understand the risks, more will be aware of what they put in their bodies.
  8. Yes, USN even puts it on their website. As from 1 January 2017 Oxilofrine (methylsynephrine), as contained in Advantra Z® and other Citrus Aurantium versions, is on the WADA prohibited substance list (sports banned substances). Please refrain from using products containing Advantra Z® if you are a professional athlete who gets tested by the Anti-doping Agency. Supplements Can Present a Risk With Respect to Wada Regulated Athletes in Two Ways 1. As the list of prohibited substances changes on a yearly basis, some supplements may contain ingredients which were previously allowed but are now prohibited. In addition, some less scrupulous manufacturers may inadequately or incorrectly label product ingredients, making it difficult for the athlete to identify safe products, even if they are aware of the WADA list. 2. Contamination of a product: By the use of ingredients which contain trace amounts of WADA prohibited substances In the manufacturing process where traces of other products (which contain WADA prohibited substances) are manufactured in the same facility and find their way into another product.
  9. Not sure. I find it hard to believe all those substances came from the shake too. But, these powders rarely get tested, and not all substances are listed on the label, so, even well-known brands end up with these banned substances.
  10. Just for one of them. He claimed that he didn’t know it was in it.
  11. Apparently the banned substance is in a recovery shake.
  12. This upgrade was long overdue. 🤤 Built parts over from my Silverback Superspeed. She will be converted to a gravel bike.

    I use Windscribe. Free to use. Various upgrade options available.
  14. So sorry to hear about this. That section has become more inhabited and filthy. No longer felt safe there. Came across a guy under one of those bridges, looking ready to beat someone up with some metal object. Luckily we were two so he relaxed his stance once he realised he didn’t stand a good chance. We started bypassing that section by getting off the trail on Peter Place, then turning left onto William Nicol, right onto Republic, left onto Garden road. That joins up with Jan Smuts (Old Parks on your left).

    Been suffering with this poor coverage and quality. After refreshing multiple times, even connecting the PC to the internet cable nothing worked. IMG_2261.mov Out of desperation I switched the VPN on and now I have PERFECT HD streaming. 🤯 IMG_2263.mov

    The streaming issues started this year. Last year I could watch with no buffering, clear HD. Maybe as more subscribers joined their servers struggle with the traffic. Surely with even more subscribers due to the MTB this will have to be resolved. I have been watching on a full HD TV, sometimes using my iPhone or laptop - all have the same issues. But, the bad quality seems to only affect the popular events.
  17. Has anyone had issues with efficiency mode on Zwift. The webview process (seen in task manager) goes into efficiency mode automatically which causes Zwift to crash. I have switched off all efficiency mode settings under the system and power settings on Windows and changed settings on Zwift to max power. Basically on best performance settings everywhere. But it still does not prevent efficiency mode. Any help and advice please. Edit: running Windows 11 on 8GB RAM laptop
  18. Really enjoyed this ride. Tough one on the legs even though I sat in the bunch all the way. Started in last batch due to late entry. Happy that there were other stronger riders in the same boat that could stick together. Also glad that we actually went through for the race. Arrived at 7:15. Unpacked and just rolled into the start chute ready to go at 7:27. 😅
  19. How’s the weather down there? Contemplating going through or not from Bryanston…
  20. I chose UK and USA. You get some free countries thrown in there too. Germany is one of them and it works for RedBull. 😁
  21. I subscribed to GCN+ but most big races and grand tours can’t be viewed in South Africa, only highlights. I use Windscribe ($3 per month) as VPN to watch those races live.
