  1. fixed it for you.. "Breads" made with eggs are items like brioche, croissants, stollen and the like. You can tell because they don't go stale the way bread does (that's the effect of the eggs). Regular bread is made with flour, sugar, yeast and water. Salt is added for taste and oil is added for texture. Edit - 'factory bread' may also use enzyme additives or 'bread improvers' - the enzymes are generally produced using a microbial fermentaion process, but I don't think that microbial products are non-vegan.
  2. I'm in complete agreement.
  3. Designed? by whom. Evolved to it - I'd go with yes. evidence the rest of the apes (whose diet is mostly vegeterian, but not exclusively), and our (reasonably well-known) nutritional requirements for some animal based inputs. But most sensible(?) vegan arguments don't argue evolution - the more rational basis is that we now have the capacity to not eat meat (through supplements and health monitoring to manage away any vegan diet insufficiencies), and therefore we can choose not to.
  4. Stop with all the freewheeling already - there is no noise if you're pedaling.
  5. we rode the reverse D90 route into that wind.. Friday was a big day out. Surrender hill was a far nicer ride on the Saturday morning.
  6. On a tandem. 101, and that was on Cedar road on the 94.7. Closed roads help.

    Pyga Hyrax

    Others will differ.., but Aluminium is a great material for full suspension trail bikes. I have a Pyga 120/650 and it is a phenomenal bike. Have not ridden the Hyrax, but you can rest as assured it comes from a stable of bikes with a very solid reputation. My experience with carbon trail bikes is that they are susceptible to having the bearings and pivot points loosen up in the carbon matrix over time while Alu bikes are pretty bombproof. This can be an issue particularly if you're riding in wet or dirty conditions on a frequent basis. I have previously had issues with a carbon bikes from GT and Lapierre from a few years ago, but I don't see how this problem is ever solved.
  8. I like riding on Rouvy, but I agree the user interface sucks - it is chaotic. They are clearly more cyclists who code rather than the Zwift dev team who I imagine have a gaming background, and the routes themselves are largely crowdsourced. Many of the videos are uploaded by users. I have created + filmed a few myself, but that does mean that their quality is somewhat variable. Read the ratings and reviews to find better routes - as a result there are many more to choose from, but they are not well 'curated' as such. To address a few of your other issues if they are detracting from the overall experience. 1. Rouvy AR was released earlier this year just before we went into lockdown. Not ideal, but it is a low risk upgrade path for them. I'll complain with you if there are still 2 apps in a year's time. 4. if you click the 'download' button in the AR app you'll see the list of files you have downloaded, and then you need to navigate to each in turn to see its profile. Rather add them to your Favourites and use the Rouvy website to review them. Yes this could be better - the back and forth between website-Rouvy App irritates me. $$$$'s - rather pay in CZK's - it is cheaper.
  9. I had something like this happen to me as a kid. I pulled a 2 kilo bass out of a farm dam on a lure with a treble hook. Ended up with one part of the treble in the fish and one in my index finger while trying to release my catch, and it seated pretty deep. Spent a few hours in Mooi River hospital waiting for the Doc on a Saturday - if you're wondering how it comes out they cut the hook and then use pliers to push it all the way through
  10. It can explode all on its own at a temperature of 210C. In this case it seems that a welder managed to ignite fireworks stored adjacent to the AN stockpile. That would do it. Also the commentary on the explosion is that it was only a partial detonation..
  11. Try that SxSE route for starters - Cafe du Cirque is about 2km from the route start point. If you feel like something shorter you can just ride the northern 'loop', which is about 55km on its own. I think that goes through a rand water property which has a number of route options, but maybe start with the GPS route and adjust from there.
  12. The other area that is becoming popular for gravel is riding out from Biden towards Magaliesburg town and beyond. Endless dirt roads all the way to Botswana - Strava-stalk the guys riding the Mini Munga for some ideas here.
  13. Go South - I have been riding from the Circus Cafe (just past the blockhouse 1-stop) on the R59 recently after being introduced to this on the 'South by South East' gravel ride. Seemingly safe (I judge this on seeing a number of couples riding on their own), easy area to ride and generally a 50:50 mix of gravel and tar depending on your routes. 'Cafe du Cirque' as it is called is very cycling friendly - seemed to be 4 or 5 distinct groups sitting out in their garden after our ride last week.

    Shaving

    Its simple - shaving helps you fit in. If what you're doing is trying to fit in.
  15. chances are someone on the hub will have one for you - post pic/measurements?
  16. I grew up in a house on one of the quartzite ridges around Joburg. A close strike was when it blew up the Telkom phone.
  17. On behalf of friend, that will kill the CD shuttle unit under the passenger seat.
  18. The pubs are open again?
  19. The Mamil's Mamil
  20. This may belong in more than one thread
  21. Still, there's Covid on the beach - might be better off
  22. Is that because you're only doing 25kph when they pass?
  23. You still believe that announcing stuff makes a difference?
  24. I have had a similar issue - run all the software updates you can 1. Install the Wahoo app on your phone 2. Link your kickr to the phone and check for software updates 3. Check updates on laptop 4. try again?
