Will the road champs be broadcast on tv?

What's the website? Gees that's a shweet looking bike!

Excellent reading (of course). With Barberton this weekend, we expect a vast amount of stories next week! Good luck for the race

Lekker ride yesterday was also in AL batch. Went down in the 2nd crash but nothing more than some roasties. Time trialled home which wasnt the worst thing, as was able to work off most of my adrenalin, also think there were some grateful B batchers that sat on my wheel. I am definitely of the opinion if somebody is riding like a twat, he should be told he is, as the reason I went down was because the guy in front of me got his wheel swiped. Cruising at 40km/hr plus and somebody is riding erratically, its not only dangerous for the bunch but also for himself!

Still doesn't really answer the OP's question

Is there an unwritten rule that you have to put flat pedals on these type of bikes?

Good luck oom!

You should be able to enter on the day, or enter by email

There is a nice mix of rides and there are 2 bunches which usually split before the ride. They will also wait for riders when you're riding in B batch at the top of hills or tough stretches. I suggest ride with the B group for a week, learn the routes then ride with the A bunch and then try hold on.

Great race yesterday, that new route is super tough with those 3 bumps at the end make for some epic racing. Also enjoyed my second lap, really got into the vibe even stopped to have a warm apple sours and beer along Jan Smuts after the zoo. The traffic looked horrendous, something needs to be done about that, I was super happy to have ridden there and not being stuck in the mess. As for policing, saw a few people with earphones and tribars on. These people should be disqualified as there are not only dangerous to themselves but the riders around them!

Sub 6. Gonna be interesting. You guys? What category are you racing in, mixed, men, ladies?

We just behind you! Race is on like donkey kong!!

5:30am!? That's a sleep in when you're training for IM

I totally agree with you! There is definitely no need to run a full marathon for IM prep, I didnt and I was able to finish my first IM this year. You should focus more on consistency and eat and sleeping right.

Has anyone looked at the weather!? Apparently it's going to be raining and a headwind all the way

Sure totally understand! I was just checking as I have not seen mine but to tell you the truth I have not really been consciously looking for it. Will pm you if I can't find it with more specifics and pics

Does it have the battery pack at the back? With a red shiny light at the back?

Gees that profile looks lekker! When is the best time of the year to go? How far is accommodation from Jhb? Would love to pack the bakkie and make a weekend out of it with some mates!

Look on the top, it says Trirock

Is there that sms tracking number? Or is that waaaaay too expensive to have on this sorta race? Hahahaha I think I might wear my brown trishorts on sunday if there is big swell, us Vaalies are not used to anything bigger than gentle lapping on the pool wall........

I understood that as being 45kms there is 450kms of climbing! Check the athletes sheet again

Not sure if this has been mentioned somewhere but a lady also got hit in the Cradle in Jhb. Apparently driver on their phone, doing 100km plus through the Cradle hit the cyclists! Flip where is it safe to ride these days!?!

I ride carbon, get it right!

Are they still going to do early entry if you have done more than 10?

Froome?
