The "....500" events a series of 4 events put together by an oke called Rae Trew-Browne. THey are a free entry, no prize series of 500 km unsupported endurance events. The Ceres 500 was the first of the series and did a loop from Ceres across the Karoo to Sutherland, then re-crossed the Karoo back to Ceres. Very different to repeating 10 laps of a 50 km course with a nice refuel at each stop. I did the Ceres 500 and it was a pretty gnarly challenge with up to 200 km between water and fuel stops....

I had a similar problem the other day when I changed pedals - try screwing the outside pedal pins down slightly; this will relieve pressure on the outside of your foot. It solved the problem for me....

Hmm..the crank will take the thumb off
