  1. A few programs I've done in the past incorporate it. There must be a good reason, I can't remember what they were. I think they are stupid, so I never do them. But when I did, it was on the IDT exclusively.
  2. Benoni lockdown laps. 100km in 2 bunches, between 35-40kph average.
  3. OK, can somone plesae explain to me the "solar" gimmick. How long are you going to ride so that a fully charged battery won't last? No amateur weekend warrior that I know of. Perhaps those Munga lunatics. Got a 530 just recently, so that'll have to last me until it dies.
  4. Have you not seen taxi drivers on our roads?
  5. I'm interested in those brake hood covers, where did you get them? And the seat, what have you done there?
  6. Look out the window on the day LOL
  7. Yesterday's ride. Flat and fast start, hilly end.
  8. I also found out today that Zeus, in cycling terms, is not the Greek God, but is a Spanish brand! I found their brochure on https://velobase.com/Resource_Tools/CatalogScans.aspx. I could make out 1% of wqhat's written in there, but this must've been gold in the 1970s.
  9. Just cardboard, to stop it from scuffing when it hung in the garage for plenty years.
  10. Good afternoon, vintage Hubbers! So, I scored this old bike from my dad when they started doing renovations a few weeks ago, but I've only had time now to upload the pics. Asking advice - what do I do? Do I modernize fully, or partially? Do I do a frame strip and respray, trying to copy the existing stickers? Where do I get a bike this old (circa 70s) serviced even? I'm not a fan of the levers sitting on the bar ends, frankly weird place to put them, but it seems it was a thing back then. I want to make it rideable (read bearable), so I can enter some retro events. Learnt about this one just this morning. https://classicsteelandvintage.co.za/gravel-giro-2023-glengarry-kamberg-26th-to-28th-may/ Velotex even sells a matching jersey and casquette to go with the frame builder. https://velotex.com/products/deale-huth-cycling-cap https://velotex.com/products/deale-huth-mens-retro-jersey
  11. I use Naked.
  12. That's a RICE pack, lol.
  13. Hey @Pikey, this time I worked for my coffee and croissant. Think I'm paying for it yesterday, developed a scratchy throat.
  14. Live broadcast on YT. Hectic FOMO right now, the weather is chalk and cheese compared to 2022. https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=DSIEaZHiU-O5_EXW&u=/watch%3Fv%3DLPgm1Dt_XxI%26feature%3Dem-lbrm
  15. Zero guesses at to who my pi(n)k is.
  16. **** hot, well done.
  17. Hoping this will kick start my training again.
  18. It's not a club ride. It's a collection of long time riding buddies, some who identify as mounties, while others are more flexible with their pronouns 🤪
  19. Friday is coffee and cake day!
  20. It's pretty dodgy. I saw a dead man there on Sunday. Fortunately he was covered up, and there was some form of law enforcement. No ambulance, at least when I passed there.
  21. Back the same way, correct. 40k on the nose from my house.
  22. Drive to Survive Season 5 The Block Season 16
  23. Swartkoppies, Alberton North, Gosforth Park, Germiston SPCA, Main Reef Road West, Primrose Hill past the Greek church, Cydonia, van Buuren all the way down just before the Doppio Zero on the corner.
