  1. Hmmmmmm. So if we test positive and have no symptoms then we don't have to isolate but can't race?! Sounds bizarre
  2. That looks like a standard Garmin insert so you don't need to look for a K-Edge branded one. You can try your local bike shop and if they don't have it give these guys a call. https://www.macete.co.za/ I've dealt with them before and they're excellent at finding what you need and at a great price too.
  3. Oh that's easy, you need to keep your race number on your bike for 6 months after the event
  4. Plot twist... her husband was coming 2nd moments before the accident ????
  5. I was also in this group. Although it was nice not having to fight for position and stress about people riding badly I felt that the group was too small. How can we compete with the likes of 1A when it's 61 people vs 239 people? Just make the groups more equal in size. Otherwise, such an epic day out on the bike. I felt really grateful to be riding it this year and more so than ever I had an appreciation for the marshals and volunteers that go out of their way to let us ride this incredible event.
  6. I collected for a friend and just showed them a picture of his vaccine certificate on my phone which was acceptable. Don't think they even looked at it properly
  7. You'll get re-seeded but the original entrant has to be vaxed or have the covid test.
  8. You need to skip that flight and start peddling down now.
  9. Kudos to the organisers for doing the survey. They care about this event and want to make it better. Just wonder how many parking comments they're getting now ????
  10. Wait till they tell you that the field was too small and there wasn't enough climbing so they wont use it for CTCT seeding after all. ???? This is what they did with the Langebaan race even though it was a "Premier Seeding Event"
  11. Even though that weather was terrible it felt sooooo good to race again. The B group kept it safe and sensible so thanks to anybody that was riding in there. The worst thing about the parking area was the thought of getting my shoes muddy but I navigated well enough to avoid that. I drive a bakkie so the natural choice was to wheelspin out of there and wonder if any cars would make it out after me.
  12. Is this thread still active?
  13. I also wasn't hugely keen for Option C but I would take that over nothing. I don't actually see any reason why this option isn't going ahead. No start/finish infrastructure necessary, no groups, just mark the course and let people ride it at will. They could even use Strava to handle the timing if they don't want to put out timing mats.
  14. Sorry but I'm not impressed with the organisers on this one. How do we go from statements such as: To cancel the event and don't even carry the entry over to the following year. I wont be supporting this race in the future and instead will support the many other events that actually care about the participants.
  15. He should get some flared bars and an aero helmet
  16. I haven't raced in so long my endless supply of Squirt samples is starting to look a bit low. I might have to actually buy some now... For the IT nerds out there this is like buying WinRAR
  17. I also use the Giant Recon on my Garmin + GoPro mount and it rocks. Solid build quality, well priced and good battery life.
  18. I see a trend developing here! Remind me not to cycle near you when you close in on 60500km on this bike pls.
  19. Just wait till they realise they can save another 40 seconds of aero drag by removing the one shifter and break on the 1X models. I mean who needs breaks on a race machine anyway?
  20. I've been holding out for a while. Got some new hoops on Black Friday and then the tyres about a month ago. Amazing kit
  21. Same my side. It seems to keep my session until I browse from my home PC and have to login there. Then when I come back to my work PC I have to login there again.
  22. I also didn't get the SMS. My money is on the fact that their account with the SMS provider ran out of credits
  23. D = 25.00 - 29.00 Changing winners times is bizarre if you ask me. I think they should have left the riders index as it was and then just keep the group breakpoints dynamic to constantly balance all the groups. That way top X percent are A, next X percent are B etc etc
  24. What are those walkers doing on your cycle path? The nerve
  25. The penalty points still get awarded afterwards. It's the change in the Beta that caused it. I think part of it is them fixing the "Bonus Seeding" that they started giving out as part of the build up to last years CTCT. These bonuses where built into the Beta instead of a separate data field or negative value on the Penalty field. Some maths whizz could be trying to balance out the seeded riders more evenly across all the groups Anyway, it is what it is.
