Fixed with comic sans. :lol:

damn missed the cut off... somehow thought it was tonight. Entered but haven't paid... will phone and find out if I can still honour my entry

Although I really enjoy Zwift there is issues that they need to address. I am really getting irritated with Zwift to be honest. The constant updates the last couple of weeks is a real pain and on top of that it seems that every update has added other issues. The last 3 events I tried to attend I either never got pulled into the event start (after joining on the android app and on the menu when starting zwift on my pc) or just before the event I got "NO SIGNAL" messages on all my devices - never to return again - and then restarting zwift and reconnecting the event start has been missed. Completed the Academy also and had to re-do a couple of the workouts since they did no get counted - I did not mind since the workouts are ok but when it needs to count to a goal it sucks. Logging a support ticket also does not seem to help since nothing seems to get resolved by doing so. You get acknowledgement of receipt and that there is a problem but not recourse or fixes seem to come from this other than multiple updates that just seem to add additional issues. Friday Rant over - let me log another support ticket...

payback is when you ride past the oke with a flat with your saddle bag and just stare at him as you roll past... (not that we condone this sorta behaviour as we cyclists all look after each other right???)

GUI customizing is a bit lacking. More data fields and the ability to select the ones you want would be great. Also the ability to sync multiple sensors. I.E. if I want to use my garmin cadence sensor for accurate cadence - not the trainer sensing. but the trainer for power etc. Love the VR world riding and racing... makes training much more enjoyable

Hi, Stupid question... is there a option to do the entry for both the MTB and Road event or is it just done by doing the entries separately for each of the events. Did not find a "Both" option.

seems high... haven't done it yet so cannot say if it's worth it....

Any groups going here regularly? Would like to join up and ride with if possible. Looking for an A/B batch group or any other will also do. I am not affiliated with a club so going solo really sucks and not as safe.

Tacx Vortex Smart. Done. For R6k ish.

I think I was maybe hoping for more somehow. IMO I think its not a pretty bike at all - would buy a C60 or V1 rather even if they cost the same. Something is wrong with that front-end. It looks like they copy and paste various parts together that don't fit well. And I was really looking forward to it too...

why do you not just motocross or dirtbike. cycling is for those that power themselves e-bikes are for wannabees and tv coverage of the pros.

CSA sounding more and more like SARS - they take but nobody can see what's done with the money...

Probably a repost but I am saving my kidneys for one of these... (can you sell both in advance?) really loving the concept...

Entered the short with the wifey for her first road event. Glad I am not doing the long route negotiating the 48ers Will be coaching her on the ways of the road and proper behaviour etc. Will be an easy day on the legs but more stressful than racing A or VA making sure she doesn't get run-over by the long groups...

but isn't it #ENDURO to wheelie up climbs???

Looks like a rock garden there behind... if you hit that first rock just right you could clear it... not that I know if the trail goes that way on another note... you okes need rain...badly

Just saw the vid now... Barry's beautiful Cinelli at the end of the vid got me again.

The new 2017 Anthem 29er is one of the most anticipated bikes of 2017. The old 29er was getting a bit stale... that said - I still think one of the best on the trails. Might look at the new one... Look only as my wallet does not allow any more...

Too sad... RIP Barry

With that injury looming I would be holding off on anything over 75% effort. Rest it and thank yourself later after having a good CTCT. Its better to enjoy the race well rested and 100% than try suffering through it and not reaching your goals and being disappointed. Nearly happened to me at Shova but luckily I had the sense to rest a bad knee to 100% while maintaining 60-70% efforts (which is really hard as I always end up going 110% - even on what was supposed to be recovery rides). Lessons learned - discounted school fees - no knee surgery or long lasting damage.

That's bad. If you change anything make sure it is just to address the issue with a micro adjustment. Making big changes now could throw off your current "fitness" as you could be putting additional stress on one muscle group and taking stress off another which is already trained to deal with it. This could spell disaster and cramps in the then over stressed muscle groups. but hey you are already in pain... maybe a rest day or 2 is what you need. You also need to stretch those ITBs - does wonders for gaining form... I was suffering from regular knee pains due to over use and including yoga and stretching has REALLY helped a lot. And if the knee is really bad then tape it on the day to support it.

Wish I was riding this one this year. Work commitments have made me miss this one this year AGAIN. It remains that 1 race to do that I have not done. Sucks Good luck to everyone on the home stretch now before the event. Don't do stupid stuff now and stay safe.

Decided to get the whole collection out for a photo. even the wife's 26er Anthem (now with 29er wheels and 28c tyres for road duties) the picture is kinda like a mullet... business at the front and party at the back. some might say I have a problem... I say "Exactly! I still need a TT, a HT, a TCX...."

in light of recent events I think this is going to be interesting. Happy Friday hubbers... I'll get the popcorn...

helium in the frame and tires.
