    Ouzo et al, I am thinking about doing eg Bethlehem - Caledons' Poort - Afriski - Sani - Ixopo - Amanzimtoti at a stage (not this year) as a (semi) supported ride. Maybe like-minded riders who are interested / have done it can collate and collaborate on this.

    That implies 1 May is the new 1 Jan. (With Rhodes scheduled for 3 Oct...) I think many runners start ramping up training from ~Nov, eg running Kaapse Hoop early Nov etc. Going to be a loong season till C21

    One does not get the shirt for finishing, or even starting At best you get it (implicitly) because you have qf'ed to start. (You get a medal for finishing a race) I have given many running (incl Comrades) shirts away to whoever - supporters, people who never will be able to run (races), charity donations etc, so what? (It actually brought joy and motivation to many of those.) It is a garment with some printing on it, advertising a race. (And yes, I am also still wearing the T of one of the Comrades's I had a DNS )

    Just ban the busses

    I have the same on my Crossrip. Share you sentiments

    The F6s and 6 should be the same price, eg https://www.takealot.com/garmin-fenix-6s-sports-watch-silver-with-black-band/PLID55543317 https://www.takealot.com/garmin-fenix-6-sports-watch-silver-with-black-band/PLID55543318? For a comparison you can use the comparison tool on Garmin's website https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/catalog/product/compareResult.ep?compareProduct=641501&compareProduct=641449&compareProduct=641435 To see what you get for the extra dough read eg https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/08/garmin-fenix6-pro-solar-series-review.html

    I wonder if the Bushy parkrun distance has been officially verified, as this record is standing from 11/08/2012 : ​Andrew BADDELEY​ | ​00:13:48

    Me too, with approx same amount of k's. Will look out for the baggies

    If you hurry you can still run in Antarctica on Thursday https://worldmarathonchallenge.com/schedule-cost-2/ https://thepointsguy.com/news/757-to-antarctica 'If running a cumulative 182 miles in a week while being extremely jetlagged appeals to you, a seat on the 757 for the entire world tour can be yours for $24,000. But there’s a cheaper way to get on that unique 757 flight: seats on the Cape Town to Novo leg are available for $10,000. That will buy you passage to Antarctica and back, and a stay of 12 to 16 hours there — with no need to actually run a marathon, although passengers are welcome to if they want.'

    A couple of interesting (and disturbing) news items caught my attention the past couple of days: 1. https://businesstech.co.za/news/government/363014/government-wants-to-nationalise-all-sports-clubs-and-gyms/ 2. https://www.runnersworld.co.za/news/oceans-may-not-survive-beyond-2020-says-race-founder/ (Link to letter : https://www.runnersworld.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Open-Letter-to-the-Board-of-Two-Oceans-Marathon-NPC.pdf ) 3. And Graeme Joffe is giving away free PDF copies of his book 'Sport : Greed & Betrayal'.
