  1. Can anyone suggest a bike fit in the northern suburbs(preferably) specifically for TT/ Tri bike? Thanks.

    Give it a TRI

    True, but I was more referring to the Ironman brand getting behind a race in CT/WC. Easy to get to and with direct international flights, it should work.

    A 70.3 Cape Town/ Western Cape would be amazing.

    I’ve ordered a pair of these. Custom made goggles via a 3D scan of your face on their app. Excited to see how it turns out. https://themagic5.com/
  5. At least you can use the sock to cover some parts ????????
  6. My Discovery broker/financial adviser told me to rather look elsewhere for gap cover... says a lot.

    Thanks for the reply. Ideally I’d like to follow some sort of structure in the beginning, but mainly just be part of a group.

    Thanks for the reply. I’m trying to see if I can avoid joining a gym, but I get the feeling this is unavoidable.

    Hi guys/gals. Looking for some help please. Any swimming groups in the Durbanville area? I’m no ironman/triathlete, but I would like to give it a go in a year or two. I would like to join a swimming group in the meantime and I have no idea where to start. Thanks in advance. JH.
  10. Was in 2A. Not a lot of guys willing to stick their nose in the wind. Sat up after misty cliffs and waited for my grand old man. What a privilege to finish with him. His 25th at age 72 and did a 3:40. The crowd support was awesome. Overall a good day out.
  11. Any one cycling in from Durbanville area to the start?
  12. Thanks guys, much appreciated. Safe commuting for everyone.
  13. I had my first car connection this morning. Lady turning right into the lane I was coming down in. Hit the side of the car and rolled off the side. Lucky the bike is ok ????. The body is a bit sore but at least I landed on my feet. Ironically the day I sold my car ( I ride my bike a lot more than my car) is the day I had a collision. Not going to tell the wife. So I thought l’ll share it here with you guys. And still after this incident, I still prefer my bike commute than a car commute. Shame, poor lady was shaken up badly. In the end I was the one comforting her.
  14. I’m super keen to do these races, but racing against guys doing it for a living seems like a waste of time, personally. I like to be competitive, but there’s just no chance against those guys. They should have a age group/ non pro/ full time working group for the under 30 guys and gals. Just my 2 cents. Maybe then more will compete?
  15. This is more a wahoo in general question? Is there any way from your side ( Wahoo South Africa) that you can convince Discovery to use wahoo as a official training tool, like they do with Garmin? I’ve requested it numerous times from Discovery to no avail.
  16. Anyone in CT cycling north westerly this afternoon? I’m in the same boat as you. Good luck to us all.
  17. Faark. I would’ve kaked myself. ????????????
  18. Yes it’s both directions.

    Dopers suck

    His second reply “ we all knew it was only time though”? Does that suggest they all knew he was doping?

    Dopers suck

    Since I read this post a few days ago, I’ve been trying to understand his position and trying to see it from his perspective, but I can’t. I think this reaction is one reason why there is a doping problem. There’s no accountability among peers. Look at the guys commenting on that post. They should be outraged. Not standing behind MK, saying it’s a ok, you made a mistake. It’s fellow “pros” backing him, saying everyone makes mistakes? How can you call yourself a friend if you beat him on numerous occasions, knowing you cheated? Surely this then suggests that people in his inner cycling circle knew? How is this an example for the younger riders?
  21. A gift for myself, from myself, for good services rendered. Man this bike is something else.
  22. I'm at 4.2w/kg for 20min x 0.95 and 4.4w/kg for 20min.
  23. Thanks guys
  24. Any guys riding from krugersdorp during the week and weekend that I can join?
