  1. the map where I copied the location from says Rustenburg turns into Main E Road. I'm not sure if there are camera's, I want to go there by car anyways, I'll check if there are cameras and then make a request if there are. Thanks for following up! I believe that we do have to make an effort to combat crime, not just stand by. Put a few guys behind bars already. I went to Parkview police station, rode there straight afterwards. They said it wasn't their area but they did put a call through to Brixton to look out. Maybe I should try open a case at Brixton?
  2. I wasn't actually in the spruit, so not sure that this is applicable.
  3. It was on Rustenburg Rd, just as it turns into Main road, on that corner where it goes from park to a wall. Going towards Auckland Park. Saturday morning (23 Nov 2019) around 7am. I was on my own (please don't victim blame me) a lone guy came out the bushes on my left, he pointed a gun at me and told me fairly calmly to stop. I reacted, screamed no, no, no and sprinted so hard up the road. He ran after me, still pointing the gun, still shouting no. But eventually gave up. I think he waited until he was sure I was on my own, which is why he was to my left and not right in front of me. I'm posting because I'm not sure if there has been activity in that area or not. I had stopped riding that route since the incidents in 2017 but just forgot and found myself there. So clearly the area still isn't safe.
  4. Haha thanks for that picture! Most certainly trying to avoid that. That image, should keep the tss in the positive for a while! hehe but hey the struggle is real. I don't know how other people stay consistently fit.
  5. Thanks! so my IF for last week was 0.65 - I do have a dodgy heart rate monitor strap I need to sort out though, so not really trusting my numbers right now.
  6. Slacking big time 276.8 / 3 rides / ?? IF Last weeks TSS was 0 due to laziness. So feeling better than last Monday! Hoping this thread might get me going, have some formidable goals, can't be slacking right now! How does one get an IF from training peaks, I am on premium.
  7. Thanks, I felt like maybe I could boast a little.
  8. It's usually called the Sun City to Cape Town charity cycle tour but this year it was from Polokwane to Cape Town. It's supposed to be an endurance ride but at an average of 33km/h I was racing everyday hehe. It was serious fun.
  9. It feels a bit off topic and a bit irrelevant because it's from March but the number for the week seemed pretty impressive for me. So it's not training, it's from a tour I did and it's hrTSS because I don't have power on my bike. There was a second week, not as impressive. My CTL peaked at +/- 115
  10. My aim was a 2:45 from DL, managed a 2:41:49. I was't feeling that great physically, so pleased with my time. My strategy was to get in the first bunch and stay with them for as long as i could. I could see from last years results that that would likely result in a 2:30ish so I knew it was a bit risky. the first 45-50 were at 40km/h, this was about where I lost them. I didn't blow, it was more like my legs just didn't have enough in them. So picked up another group. Kind of ran out of legs towards the end, pushed to try sneak under 2:40 but just couldn't do it. I'm pleased though. I'm sad I can't do Tour Durban because my legs are feeling awesome! I don't even feel like I rode yesterday. Enjoyed the race, loved the much improved road surface and as always the asg races feel very well organised.
  11. There is still a grave risk if you just take one myprodol right? getting the feeling that some people think 1 or 2 is ok? My understanding is that isn't, right?
  12. My GSC 10 died and Navworld gave me a new one... the guy had one lying around in his drawer and he just gave it to me. I possibly got lucky... Definitely out of warranty, close to 4 years old. I love Garmin and Navworld. but no I wouldn't try repair it. I'd either try my luck at Navworld or buy a new one, I've seen them still available online... but the new ones look way better.
