driving down to the bikeshop, just the hassle, would push me to watch a youtube video to learn how to index and buy a namgear wash starter kit. i promise you it will be the most gratifying time out of your day, and your next ride will feel magnificent.

self appointed team captains in all batches, and the virus spreads as batches splinter in the final stretch from camps bay to the finish, we also have lead out riders being rung out by these captains - motivation like "we're almost there keep pushing" 😂 ive updated the site with more data --> https://sweet-torrone-3935b2.netlify.app

correct (for now) - so for outliers achieving sub 3 from batch 1D as an example, if only 20 riders from that batch achieved a sub 3, the median is for those 20 riders not the whole batch.

definitely - i have been expanding the dataset holistically i.e 2022, 2023 were added on the last deploy. im aiming to roughly get to ~3:10-3:30 by the end of today.

i laughed when i heard a euro rider shout "stop using your brakes" cruising past newlands forest in 1A amazes me how bunch riders just expect a consistent speed, with no read on the terrain, peddling into the center of a group when the riders ahead have clearly slowed to ride up a hill, is the biggest lack of self awareness i see in our local race scene. "Breyton Paulse im looking at you" yup i was the team captain shouting at you, altho i felt k*k when i realised it was him. ive added a rider lookup to the ctct racenator site if any y'all are interested --> https://sweet-torrone-3935b2.netlify.app

ive added 2024 as well, 2025 must've been a sub 3 record --> https://sweet-torrone-3935b2.netlify.app

updated stats here - sorry 1A 😛

they're around R50 on aliexpress with free shipping - i wouldn't recommend this as a 3d printed part

created a visualisation of last years sub 3 finishers with some interesting insights into the segment times through Scarborough --> here

Designed this Number board holder for a gopro mount, for the CTCT forward facing number. Not sure if we even need these numbers to start the event, but here is an .STL in case you feel the need. Ingenious Kup.stl

it was actually my search for a usb-c charger that landed me on this. now that i can charge a couple of AXS batteries (twice off one charge), the pain of micro USB has withered somewhat 😁

so much joy with this dual AXS charger on the go with a built in power bank. sourced off aliexpress for half the price of the official sram single charger 👌🏻

A wider comparison for the first 500 riders across the line.
