  1. Did he skip TDF or was he left out in favor of Milan? As it stands he is yet to put a pen to paper for next season.
  2. I’ve had the 530 for +-3 years can it remember exactly but not a days issue. Although I’ve not ridden much with it in the past 6months. Could just be an isolated issue on that device(s).
  3. and just 2 weeks later the Two Ocean Marathon with R672m.
  4. Speaking of temptation I had 60km training run on the program. 2 other runners agreed along the way that when we get to the finish we will turn around for another 5kms back on the route then back to the finish. We got separated at some point on the route when I stopped for a toilet break. They then ended up picking up the pace and after 50kms needless to say they went out too hard & quickly banished that good idea of an extra 10kms, I soldiered on because my OCD would not let me call it a day. Logistics was made easier by literally getting picked up by my front door by a 30 seater bus made up of runners from various clubs we collected along the way.
  5. I thought you were going to say "had had enough by the 40km mark, so you put the hammer down". Well Done. I opted for the False Bay 50km What a stunning route. Cycled it many times before but running it gives you are different experience & you get to take in all the scenery for much longer.
  6. I imagine this is what it would’ve looked like? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIHTJbEsQau/?igsh=MTJ6eDh5NGZwZHdwaA==
  7. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJMKMfdshCU/?igsh=MXRkMnFnOWN6ZHRhcQ== Matt gone and did it again, this time in Girona 👏🏻🙌🏻 Imagine you enter a gravel race but you end up hiking a bike 😮‍💨
  8. Lekker Chris. I guess many expected that gravel section to become a mud bath, hence the no show. How did it hold up? I even got offered an entry at the 11th hour, which I declined because I know myself, once you pin a number I'm in race mode & I cant afford that right now, I'm in High Care Phase right now aka Comrades High Mileage Period.
  9. And now it's newest hotspot with another mugging tonight. Second incident in a space of 2 days that we know of.
  10. I have not ridden there in ages, there was definitely stones & rocks in the road, there was even a section of tar missing. If it's still closed then chances are it was never officially repaired. Hopefully someone that has ridden there recently can advise.
  11. it has always been rideable just closed to traffic but be aware there was a mugging of a cyclist there a few days ago, on a scooter nogal.
  12. Finally Keegan decided to Tap Out 😝 #jokes
  13. You would not have gotten far, there is a locked gate less than 100m from the turn off. Unless on a very rare occasion you get there and the gate is open.
  14. If you want to add some Spice to Hans Se Kop then start the climb from the bottom of Sir Lowry's Pass Tokai Mast if you take it from the Traffic Circle all the way to the top Strava automatically classifies it as a HC Then there is the Mc Daddy climb which sadly is also behind a locked gate, only a hand full of cyclist have ridden it albeit illegally as well. DuToitskloof Pass, once you reach the top, swing left and it extends further up to the mast.
  15. I'm really gutted about this news, I had one Epic trip planned which included both Jonaskop & Galgberg, McGregor in one sitting. First attempt resulted in a DNF, I then made some notes from my learnings to apply on my 2nd attempt which will now never happen unless the ban is lifted.
  16. Here is an opportunity to lab test the theory whether cross training i.e. Swimming & Cycling benefits running.
  17. Ride on the side walk its what I do most days I commute from North to South and back in the afternoon.
  18. not gravel but Swenson & Beers was at it again today. This time it looked like Beers was doing the barfing 🤢 after crossing the line 😮‍💨 Did a monster pull to close a huge gap and set Keegan up for the win. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIpMGzQz6Nk/?igsh=ZDRnNjF4NmNhbzJq
  19. The way I read it the event will still go ahead, COCT just wont get help with infrastructure or sponsor clean ups or traffic cops or whatever, I actually have no clue what "support" entails. But the Cape Town Economy cant afford to turn away the 1000's of runners from out of town should the event be cancelled. That will be a major blow.
  20. Does this mean Cannon(dale) is no more 🧐
  21. Poor Sweenson Too many Beers will do that to you...🤢🤮
