  1. Did it cross your mind at any stage that they might cancel? I can just imagine the huge disappointment you and the rest of the Epic riders must be going thorough right now just thinking of the huge investment in time training ,finances time away from the family leave from work etc etc anyway hopefully something positive comes out of this whole episode.
  2. When did the race organizers inform you guys of the "Epic" cancellation?
  3. Just make sure you all sterilize your bikes after each ride and you should be fine :whistling:what concerns me with winter approaching is when the roads are wet one has no idea what muck and bacteria is being sprayed up into your face/mouth and eyes from the road.
  4. Just heard that he passed away this morning very sad ,be very careful out there.
  5. Just heard through the grapevine that another cyclist was knocked down in a hit and run close to Simonstown Station yesterday morning and was airlifted to hospital,very serious head injuries operated on yesterday not sure if it was a hit and run but he was found lying in the road
  6. He is not saying that the cyclist was at fault or,whether it is lawful to cycle in a certain area or not one has to ask is it wise for me to do so given the associated risks on certain roads and areas.
  7. Agree totally apply common sense on every trail you ride,be it blue through to double black irrespective of ones skill level..
  8. Nokia n7 plus whats been happening of late is my full commuting route is captured and recorded on the map but not the complete or full distance traveled,I get a message saying that GPS has been dropped for 5 minutes and I should check power optimization settings on my phone .I was wondering if there is a way to capture the km's lost seeing that the commute has been captured on the map.I have changed the battery optimization settings on a couple of my apps including Edomondo so that they are open even when they are not in use so will see if this makes a difference this afternoon when I travel home any help would be great
  9. Apparently happened early hours of the morning
  10. I don't have a remote switch on my old giant xtc but I manually lockout or just adjust to a firmer setting when climbing trails and unlock on the downhills,for a more efficient ride,
  11. Hi guys I am having another problem with endomondo would appreciate some help.endomondo is not recording my full commute.I get a message saying GPS signal lost for X amount of time?
  12. Thanks for the advice cat-i,I will give that a try.
  13. Hi guys just a quick question.I started recording my commutes on Endomondo from the 27 January 2020 and only realised on the 7 February 2020 that I had logged the rides under running and not transport is there anyway that those commutes for that period can be added to the challenge or is that wishful thinking?
  14. All that the Tygerberg club needs to do on some of their trails is simply not do any maintenance work,this will have the desired affect of making trails a lot more gnarly and technical and cost nothing to achieve..
  15. In a perfect world it would be perfectly fine and safe to cycle just inside the yellow line but unfortunately we don't,we live in a lawless society with some people who have no respect for each other or the law,so my take is that whoever cycles so close to the yellow line is plain irresponsible and is looking to be hit by a vehicle.
  16. I agree race entry fees are getting ridiculously expensive,I used to enter one or two races a month these days it is down to maybe three a year,the sport has become a sport for the rich
  17. I reckon it doesn't matter what grade of trail you choose to ride be it green,red,blue or black it is how you aggressively and fast you choose to ride,that will determine the skills needed.
  18. Me to can't wait,and if only I had taken the time and effort to figure out how to save my morning and afternoon commutes to strava I would be able to claim over 10 000km's of commuting for the year maybe next year,well done to all those who were so disciplined during the course of the year crazy to think another year is almost done
  19. Well what did you expect when you post something that is so ridiculous.
  20. I have a bag you can have for R 3.000 hardly used.
  21. The thing that I picked up from this thread is that there are far to many people working on their bikes who shouldn't be.
