Anyone else follow the Iron Man Sub 7 / Sub 8 attempts yesterday morning. (#Sub7Sub8) An insane effort from all four athletes to achieve their goals comfortably: Kristian Blummenfelt: 6:44:25 Swim-48:21 Bike-3:24:22 Run-2:30:50 Kat Mathews: 7:31:54 Swim-54:43 Bike-3:50:06 Run:2:46:09 Joe Skipper finished in 6:47:36 and Nicola Spirig in 7:34:19 Skipper's bike leg was insane with a time for the 180km of 3:16:42 equating to an avg speed of 54.9 km/h

will have a look

Unfortunately due to my companies security protocols, I have to log in every time (pain in the arse). Even if I accidently close Bike Hub and reopen in, have to then re-login.

Send them to your local SAPS and tell them to ask for Constable....

Almeida out with Covid. DNS today as tested positive. Guess it would explain his slight slump over the past two days. A huge pity for the rest of the team as not sure if the entire team will withdrawal?

Already fallen off the back and going backwards....

Cavendish in the break and its not even April fools?

A bit of nail polish as touch up and good to go

Hectic. No telling how it will play out

This is turning into a Popcorn, Beer and Armchair discussion....

My 2 cents worth. Personally I think an e-bike is a waste on any able bodied rider. - For a decent speced bike, you are looking at close to 100K - They are bloody heavy - Cost a fortune to maintain - Are only beneficial if you are riding undulated trails with climbs that will warrant an e-bike - Unless you have a good technical ability, they are not all that conducive to technical trails That said, everyone and anyone is fully entitled to their own choice.

Wouldn't touch a Makro bike As mentioned, rather look 2nd hand or at other alternatives

Also since about 9ish

Valtteri Bottas got 2nd in the shorter (72km) Wafer ride.

Was a very small turnout. Turned into a 110 km mostly solo ride. Thanks to Barry for the company for the last 30KM's odd. Just wondering when the results will be corrected as very few seem to be posted, myself excluded.

Was planning on going on Thursday to collect but as mentioned still awaiting confirmation etc.

Has anyone received their seedings and start times as yet? With tomorrow being a public holiday and the race on Saturday, seems a bit late to have not notified riders of their start times. Mailed the organisers this morning but have not heard anything yet.

AMP a well deserved 4th

New wheels fitted to pimp up the ride a bit👍

The serenity of the Cradle this morning. The weather and the fact that all the part timers have hung up their bikes for winter made for some quite roads.

A new set of wheels. Should arrive early next week.

Bloody F...ers. Hope the victim is okay.

Technical - NO Corrugations - Yes (probably a lot worse with all the rain of late)

Wind must of really caused havoc. According to PCS, only 30 finishers

According to their FB page post of end Jan, it is going ahead first week July
