TCTG

Where did you extract this one from? rest of us...who are you talking about and where have you seen costs escalate?

Because CT marathon paying for the tests if u not vaccinated.

Who said I am not vaccinated?????

Kelvin Irvine it was unfortunately not possible for us to communicate any of these details earlier as the regulations were only received late last week and we had to run them past all our stakeholders and the legal team before we could post and share with our participants.

Another money making racket for the City.... REGISTRATION COVID-19 PROTOCOLS In line with permissions received from the relevant authorities, the following mandatory protocols will be in place during Registration which precedes the event on 10 October 2021. All participants will need to be fully vaccinated or undergo a Rapid Antigen Test, which must return a negative result, before they can register for the 2021 Cape Town Cycle Tour. Participants are considered to be fully vaccinated if: – they have had two doses of the Pfizer vaccine (with the second dose having been received a minimum of 7 days prior to the event) or – they have received one dose of the J&J vaccine (at least a minimum of 28 days before the event). Proof of vaccination: Participants will be required to prove their vaccination status by either showing their vaccination card together with personal identification or, in the case of international participants, their vaccination bar code. If you are collecting race packs on behalf of another participant you will need to present a copy of their proof of vaccination documents and a copy of their ID document. Participants not fully vaccinated or unvaccinated : In the case of participants who have not been fully vaccinated or are unvaccinated, Rapid Antigen Tests (that take 15 minutes) will be conducted at Registration and must return a negative result before participants can collect their numbers. The cost of this test is for the account of the participant and will be R250.00 In the event that a participant shows a negative Rapid Antigen Test, but is displaying Covid-19 symptoms such as a fever or feeling unwell, the participant will be required to undergo a PCR Test with a negative result before they are allowed to register. This must be undertaken separately by the participant.

will give it a read....I should learn some more in the process ????

thanks for that response....looks like I need some prepping to do

Clearly i dont like to read manuals...????

Aha! I learnt something new....the grinder setting. Fantastic...we are now on the same page. BTW, i like my coffee temp hot, especially in Winter. Now that Summer is on its way I may change that setting to suit the season.

Any idea on elevation for the 60km? Will a hard tail be good to go for this race?

Thanks for the response. I have the EQ.6 plus s 500. Going through beans like crazy...family of 5 uses it, we on nearly 1000 coffee and 900 milk mixes already (not even a year old). When you say the coffee:milk ratio is at its lowest, provide an example? Also I do not see any grind setting and water temp setting. I have coffee temp setting which is at Max.

What is your milk to coffee ration setting on? I am sill finding my feet with this one and double shot makes a good cuppa but the remainder of bean strength is so weak in taste.

Anyone care to share info on the 60km MTB event? Doable on minimal training or is it a sufferfest?

Not on. Its like taking your car for a service and and days later you notice the workshop's sticker on your rear window....its unacceptable!

Pls post how conditions of the day affected your result. Was it worth the effort doing the event for a seeding in CTCT?

Lekker bitter koud mense...

I cancelled my accomodation on booking.com. Hassle and cost free. Never entered both mtb and road events, so that saves me in the end. Dont expect any events to be pulled off this year....???? this events year goodbye.

..

Very good price. I bought one for over R10k on special. Edit: I bought EQ 6 plus S 500 beginng of year

Yah keen even though I dont know the brand

Is this the Umkho drop you referred to?https://youtu.be/BTbA_j5u1eU

Place to purchase?

Wow, your options are far and wide. Im in the Southern suburbs...will research the various bean brand options. Thanks for advice.

Sorry if this was asked already...which brand of coffee beans are filled with aroma and available to either order online or purchase in store within Cape Town region?
