A Wattbike is absolutely great but in essence watts are watts, be it on a Wattbike or (power) capable IDT and that is what you basically require. (Yes yes, of course there are caveats and intricacies, but for the purpose of this discussion ) Rouvy also have build in programs, or you can build and customise your own. (Just a note - subscription varies between 12 -15 euro / m) The convenience factor to have access to an IDT counts for a lot So in short - yes you will get (more or less) the same benefit if you do comparable training.

Great! Fused?

Probably a resistance issue.

Some camping friends fixed a similar issues by wiring a resistor into the trailer's plug wiring - but yeah I won't recommend it.

Is the anabolic window still a thing?

As mentioned - rather get a professional to assist, even consider blood tests to establish and understand your 'metabolic' health baseline? Do not copy what works for someone else as there is no insight and context wrt to the bigger picture. (Eg what is mentioned here is def NOT working for me at all, we all have different requirements and responses to food / training etc). Trail and error experimenting can be fine - up to a point though.

Has anyone tried the online declaration process? (This is replacing the TC-01 form?) https://www.sars.gov.za/travellerdeclaration/

What I found with Life360 is that it does not track anymore when you put your phone into battery saving mode (?) whereas Garmin's Livetrack will still function. (Maybe there is a setting for it but not important for me to use L360 in this regard, so I haven't checked) It (GC) also has an 'auto start' capability, and can track you against a pre-defined course if required.

Hi Chris - I link the Varia to both my 830 and Fenix 6, no issues. (Watch is set to vibrate when the radar picks up a target) It works great!

Are you tracking your HRV as well?

From the FAQ: Just confirming that even solo riders require a support driver? (And that it is not a typo, eg, with a missing 'not' ) Thanks

Strava Heatmap to get an idea? Gravel or single track?

Not 100% sure - but I think it is Rack and Carry in George

As far as I know it is a new event - you can contact Rob for more info.

Maybe contact Gansbaai Mountain Bike Rides & Routes?

And then you get the crowd that say they will not give way to a cyclist (Premeditated assault?) and then I saw this this morning: https://maroelamedia.co.za/nuus/sa-nuus/man-gestuur-om-erg-beseerde-fietsryer-te-red/

ODD entries are open : https://omdiedammarathon.co.za/

700x36 or 700x38?

Apple watch 7 from R5999 at Istore

I have the Varia also connected to my F6 over and above the 830 - as you can set a vibration alert on the F6.

With the Garmin Radar you can use the IQ App MyBikeRadarTraffic Data field. Ride files can be uploaded to https://www.mybiketraffic.com/ FWIW.

From my experience I am quite convinced cramps are caused by muscle exhaustion ('ooreising') and salt, minerals, etc etc are not the silver bullet to prevent / fix it. (Training / conditioning is...) So maybe try to do your best to 'manage' the muscle output?

Article in Pretoria Rekord https://rekord.co.za/437436/hundreds-of-cyclists-outraged-when-tshwane-classic-race-was-ca0ncelled-at-the-eleventh-hour/ I wonder what Mauritz is going to do with the say ~R1m now, as I don't think there will be another race organised to allocate these monies to... (Would be interesting to know if any other party was indeed contracted and paid in advance to render any service.)
