    947 Ride Joburg

    My last rant about how flawed the seeding process is. Chatting to my next-door neighbour (who also cycles), who completed last years race in 4hr 30 and has not done any races this year, is seeded in 'B'. The mind boggles when the organisers give the 'Based on Merit' excuse as to why your reseeding request was declined. That said, will just treat this years ride as a fun day out with maybe a coffee stop (or beer) on the way
  2. Some hill work in through Westcliff followed by the customary coffee and croissant.

    Total mystery as to how the seeding works. People I know that rode the same time as me last year are all seeded either F or G and myself CC. The mind continues to baffle.

    It is a total mystery as to how the seeding is calculated. 2021 finished in 2.57 and was seeded in D for 2022 2022 had a chilled ride and finished in 3.40 2023 seeding CC WTF. Still waiting for reseeding feedback

    Seedings for 2023 being sent out. Just like last year, a right royal mess up. Rode an easy 3.40 last year only to be rewarded with a CC batch seeding. Seeding query lodged.
  11. Ready for an Eroica?
  12. Some LBS's have collection boxes for donated stuff that they then pass onto people/charities in need
  13. Feel for the organisers as well for the uptown folk that have already made their way down or were planning on leaving today.
  14. The Cradle has become an absolute S..t show of late. Feel a lot safer doing my suburb routes from home having to doge the odd taxi (which most of the times are more considerate that the motorists.) If I do venture out to the cradle, will rather go in the afternoon.
  15. Cyclists caught breaking speed limit – but police can’t stop them | The Independent
  16. Dust and more dust - @ Need Rain
  17. Does resemble the Intense 6.6 to a certain degree
  18. Used to have SupaCaz. Was not willing to fork out close to 1k so got the Ryder Super Grip (R300). Very happy with it so far.
  19. Think with a lot of these FB adds, the image has been copied from somewhere and the actual goods/item doesn't even exist?
  20. Watching some of the GCN podcasts, amazed at the cost of some of the equipment. Most expensive bike at the TDF is the Trek. +/- $18500 (R333 000) The TT skinsuits can cost between 5000 and 7000 euros (R100 000 - R140 000) Crazy numbers.
  21. JV was on a totally different level yesterday. Maybe Pog will go for an all or nothing approach. If it works, it works, if not at least he would of tried.
  22. Brooks saddles and Pannier on one day only
  23. If any of you are interested, am selling a baby jogger. Have posted an ad in the classifieds: Baby Jogger - Non bike attached | Bike Hub Fair condition, needing some TLC.
