    I used to have that problem with most races. Since I have been making my route videos, I always know where I am, and what's coming up. http://garyvdm.co.za/ I'll do one for you for R4V asap.

    The new Strava Labs Flyby is useful for finding other riders that were in the same group: http://labs.strava.com/flyby Strava AL riders that were with the bunch at Tarlton: Those with power meter data have a * next to them. http://www.strava.co...052181/analysis http://www.strava.co...939081/analysis http://www.strava.co...939394/analysis http://www.strava.co...104856/analysis http://www.strava.co...004107/analysis * (2nd place.) http://www.strava.co...939389/analysis http://www.strava.co...225575/analysis http://www.strava.co...984255/analysis http://www.strava.co...234176/analysis http://www.strava.co...949188/analysis * http://www.strava.co...524023/analysis http://www.strava.co...051697/analysis (3rd place) (Surprised how few have power meters. Maybe they do, but don't publish the data.)

    Man, that's not cool. Do you know what caused it? Food poisoning? Kudos for finishing. If that was me, I would have waited for the sweeper vehicle..

    Me to. Going to just print my own number.
  6. Really good arguments!

    That all depends on how fast you go.... The elites will finish in about 2:30. The slowest riders about 6:00. I guess the mean is about 3:40.
  10. 3 broken spokes on the last 2 rides, so I need a wheel rebuilt. I am of the understanding that the skill of the wheel builder has a big effect on the strength of the finished wheel. Who do you think is the best wheel builder in Gauteng? Some recommendations I have read/heard: Nevil @ Lynden cycles Anton @ Summit cycles Spoke and spanner
  11. Ah, I just checked, and tags don't show on the mobile view, which is what I typically use on the weekend.

    You can see where the water points will be on this map: http://www.dome2dome.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/routemap.jpg
  13. P.S. I do hope you find it.
  14. It will probably help if you specify which car park.
  15. Yip, they are a very good lbs. PS it's spelt Linden. :-)
  16. I saw what you did there.

  18. Sorry, I don't know her, but I'll look out for her at Sunday's Audax.
  19. The section on convoys from the NATIONAL ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 93 OF 1996 with all the up to date amendments: The act is very clear on which part of it applies to "motor vehicles", "pedal cycles" and all "vehicles". As you can see, this section only applies to motor vehicles. From the definitions: So 1 motor vehicle, and 100 bicycles operated in a group does, by the acts definition, not make a convoy of motor vehicles.
  20. That's a bit harsh, and a personal attack. Lets just leave it at wrong.
  21. No verge, blind corner. Even if they were single file, it would be very dangerous for a motor vehicle to over take here. If there is an oncomming car around the corner, they will have to pull in, and force the bikes of the road. You know why I hate some motorists: they are so dam impatient, and think they own the road.

    Eish, not cool. Please can you give us a link to the pics on facebook.
  24. I assume you borrowed the helmet at the the start. Any description of what she looked like? What kit was she wearing?
  25. Indeed, I have met a number of Complete Cyclist riders, some from thehub, and I think highly of all of them. And I've had good service from the shop. But what about the van driver?
