Gates now open at 6am ...

Hi All With the "new" rules imposed by Oom Cyril, will the opening times of Suikerbosrand change? From a news article under its Parks section which deals with National and Provincial Parks: "Public parks that are allowed to open can only be accessed between 09:00 and 18:00..."

I'll be there, bright and early tomorrow morning.

Morning All I'm planning on a ride at Suikerbosrand tomorrow morning. It will be my 2nd ride there, so still a newbie to this wonderful route. My 1st ride there was a few weeks ago. After the rain and "storms" of this week, I'm wondering how much debris there might be on the road surface? Regards

I'm 189cm with 36" waist, and a bunch of kg's heavier and I have their Large, it's tight, but not too tight .... You don't want the bib to be loose fitting ...

For me that leads to dehydration and cramps ...

I have my Garmin set to "scream" at me every 15min during an activity as a reminder to drink something ... Eventually the body gets used to that drinking interval and you'll find that you beat the reminder to it ...

From my email communication with Hectic Promotions the event is still going ahead, using the same route as 2019, unless changed by Tshwane Metro.

Go to Task Manager and see if there is a session that did not close. If, then close that session. Alternatively uninstall Zwift and re-install ...

Uncle CR was apparently instructed by the "powers" to drop the lockdown to level 2, and to open cigarette and booz sales ... (That is if the various news sources are to be believed). Under Lockdown 2, inter-provincial travel will be allowed, if the information is correct.

Windows 10 and Bluetooth are not friends with each other. It is a hit and miss situation. For Zwift, try pairing via Companion ... Start Companion 1st (ensure that bluetooth is enabled, and that all other apps are closed and not just minimized) Then start Zwift on Laptop On the pairing screen, top right corner is a gear symbol, select the gear and you'll then have the option to select how Zwift needs to connect to the devices. Select the connect via companion option Good luck ...

Hi There Apologies if this is going slightly of topic. I've been given a Force saddle to test out as I'm not happy with the saddle that came with my bike. The Force saddle is somewhat shorter than the "normal" saddles that come standard on most bikes. Maybe a silly question, but how would the fore and aft position be set-up, do I measure from the rear of the old saddle to the handlebar and duplicate that measurement once the Force saddle is fitted due to the Force being shorter, or do I do the normal measurement from the nose of the saddle and duplicate once the Force is fitted? TYI

Should be fine ... Depending on the route you take to get to Bidon...

Depends where you want to start from and the distance you want to do.

Berlouri Farm, 50km to top and back, or 60 if you go over and back, or 87 or more if you "play" around on the other side.

The Cradle Trophy is also taking place. Event being run from the Maropeng Amphitheatre, so there might be some issues with traffic as the race passes the entrance to Maropeng...

Looks like it'a going to be wet and windy again ...

Right there with you ...

So on to the seeding calculations for this event ... Wondering if they determined the seeding of the ASG Seeding List, or if they used another method? If I compare my and my son's seeding from the PPA site I should be starting a batch or two ahead of my son, yet the batch info we received is to the contrary ... Ah well, gives me someone to chase down ...

Will be a couple of us doing a group ride. Just want to get time in the saddle with added ascent training. I usually fall back to the slowest rider in the group and keep him/her company. My blood, sweat, and tears are during the week on the trainer ...
