  1. Comrades is easy... half the time it is downhill... pretty much a sprint compared to IM and Epic
  2. I was one of the tail enders going up and down Ou Wapad in 2016 There were no problems with two-way traffic. Being chased by a swarm of irate bees might have helped with a speedy climbπŸ˜ƒ
  3. I trust it is the yellow one....😜

    Finish Time

    Slightly off topic. From what I have gathered from this thread is that CTCT timing will move from Racetec to Finish Time. What is going to happen with Racetec? It has been my 'record' of all my CTCT Tours and Karoo to Coast races. Can someone please help an explain how to download my personal Ractec results in order to preserve a copy? Export to Excel? But I have no idea how. Please explain very, very slowly πŸ˜…. All I know of SQL is that it is a three letter acronym!
  5. I have been seeded 32 times. Not once was it better than expected or what I think I deserve. The system is rigged
  6. Maybe just as a left field question but I'm genuinely curious. Has anybody analyzed the number of accidents of individual/single file cyclists vs riding 2-3 abreast in a group? Off the top of my mind one hear more of a single cyclist being knocked down than a car plowing into a peloton. If true the inference is that motorists are more careful around groups (big object) than single cyclists (small object)
  7. along with bibs that spew forth foam if it rains....

    CSA / gravel

    Cycling South Africa shares an acronym with the equally useless Cricket South Africa Logic dictates that the acronym is the cause of the uselessness as they do not share the same management team....
  9. Not too excessive the costs..... just about 2x S-works Epic Evo's.....😎
  10. Brooks B17. Takes on the shape of yea arse. You will thank me later. Even if you are Style Man😜
  11. Is this an new Vegan event? How much cale do you eat before it becomes epic?

    Study Bursaries

    An university degree is not is the end all of education, there are all kinds of wonderful other qualifications but I presume that this is the direction you want to take. Rewrite Matric with Maths and Science as subjects and get proper marks. I think you now have the motivation. With that you can basically qualify for any degree. Unfortunately UNISA was offered at the same altar as Eskom et al but some proper residential universities do offer distant learning. Remember that while studying and showing progress you will be seen an achiever by the job market as someone for the future. Now for the perspective on time (Icecreamman makes a good point): If you start at 28 and do a degree over 6 years you will be qualified at 34. That leaves you with 31years to work as a high earning individual, longer that what you have been alive! As a young person you might see 7 years as a long and arduous time (yes it will take great effort) but from someone with a pretty long hindsight I only see opportunities for you! Good luck!
