Unlike you, I dont work at Night, I work during the day brother!

If we can not collect numbers on race day, it is NOT on that the organisers are making it our problem to get the numbers. If they want me to wear their number, THEY must ensure I get one. I am sick and tierd of driving to moer and gone before a race to collect a piece of paper and some old magazines. I work for a living and dont have time or money to waste driving after pieces of paper. We live in the new age of technology! I do not mind at all doing this race without a number or starting in whatever group, I paid to ride this race, check your system, so I will be on the route, with or without a number, riding my bike with my mates!

Ja and it is still bugging me! I guess this means ... so long Endocrappo ... Strava made me do it!

So is there registration on race day at the venue?? Not driving to any of those places to collect a stoopid number, thank you very muchly!

Yup, just dont skimp on the spokes, there are some pretty cheap deals out there but the spokes can make or break the wheel, so to speak.

Yup I am leaving it on 3.0 also, tried the newer versions, didnt like it and rolled back to 3.0. The newer versions takes forever to locate satellites. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

Where are you based? If you can bring your unit to me in Stellenbosch, I can have a go to get your data off before sending it in for replacement. Managed this once or twice before. Garmin does offer an international warranty for R500 if bought elsewhere.

Thanks man, but I would prefer not to drive to go cycle ... just wanna get on the bike and go. Been off the bike for almost 4 months with a broken ankle, I might only get to camps bay around lunch time if I had to cycle from here! Might hook up some other time! Enjoy! (my coastal route to rooiels could also work)

I have had problems when trying IE. Doesnt download programs completely or gives errors, no such proplems using FF or chrome

Do NOT use Internet Explorer ... EVER! :thumbup:

Old route you mean, its back to the route before the road works past the prison. If you were doing this on Sunday, I woulda been keen!

Had my eye on this bike for a while, if I had an extra R95k lying around ... there would be one in my bike room right now for sure!

Tallboy 1 or 2 ... choose your poison! Replied on your PM thanks!

The change of the vibe within the race I found more significant. Prologue and stage 1 were all business, not too much mucking about going round. Thereafter the oaks seemed more relaxed, chirps, comments and jokes going round. Towards the end, stage 6 & 7, the jokes died down somewhat and the feeling of camaraderie and brotherhood were much more evident. People were encouraging each other, offering words of support and just kinda working/suffering/slogging it out together. Just an awesome experience!

My partner and I packed a case of beers and two bottles of red wine and even looked at each other going ... "is that all?" .. thinking it will be a jol in the race village. We each had two beers in the race village after the prolougue ... and that was that! All we wanted to do after crossing the line every day was eat, have protien shakes, eat, get out of dirty clothes, eat and sleeeeeeep! We made up for it at the finish, we were asked to leave Louensford when the tents were all packed up!

Stage 3 looks like one of those days you would rather do in reverse. From finish to start it looks better than from start to finish

Stage 4 looks spiked ... that the day before the mother forker Stage 5 At least it looks like we get a couple of km's to warm up in the mornings, not like this year where we went straight into brick walls from the gun ... like this one around km 53 on stage 5!

This was the first year Bulls had duals, all the wins they had before were on HardTails. Platt won 4 times on a HT. As for Merida, Hermida rides hardtail, always.

Stage 5 is gonna be painful after 5 days of riding, 2900m (just as bad as stage 6 this year, 2950m, I k@ked!) Rewarded with loads of SingleTrack on Stage 6 but by no means easy!

You'll be running circles around me! And Ill be running my mouth off at endo if it uploads to cycling then!

But ... that sounds crazy for a hardail ... let me confrim!

Looks to be at around R88K For the 0

Been using the Garmin Edge 500 for years. It never use to do this, there was a default setting you could choose in your profile. It changed after they messed about with the site layout and what not. I do exactly that. Endo reads all the workouts in on the device. All the workouts appear in a pop-up window. I select Cycling and save. I have even selected Snowboarding, Kayaking, Rollerblading, and what not in this pop-up windwow but it makes no difference, it still defults to running!

I have stared using Endomondo a whole lot less. Ever so often, once a week, when I do decide to upload my Garmin files to Endomondo, it ask you to choose your sport, I choose > Cycling No matter what I do, it defaults every workout to Running! You have to click on each workout and change it to Cycling and it is p@ssing me off. I know Endomondo is doing this on purpose because they know how much I hate the use of the word Running on a cycling form: "What pressure are you running?" "I am running XT" "What tubeless setup are you running?" "I am running 10speed" etc etc You are not running ... you are using, or you have or you are CYCLING!! :cursing: Ok, so how do I fix Endo to default my workout upload to Cycling? (cant find anything in the settings) I am running out of here, got to get to work!
