  1. i travel daily by car and quite often longer distances.went down to mosselbay and pe 2 or 3 times the last month or two.apart from the speedcop sitting behind a bush manning his traffic camera i did not see one speedcop anywhere on the roads. my opinion is that this is just a money making exercise with nothing to do to keep the roads safer.
  2. watched it last night.that armstrong girl is a piece of work.hell have no fury like a woman scorned.for the rest of the people there are no winners in a situation like this. .
  3. The brazeness to do this a few hundred meters from durbanville saps says it all
  4. i may be wrong , but i hope the idiot with the gun shoots himself
  5. they tested vo2 max LT1 LT2 etc including some interesting other stuff eg percetage oxegen consumption per breath etc.i was interested in that as i am a smoker and wanted to see what the impact of that was but that is a different story for another forum.the short answer is they tested quite a bit more than the normal vo2 max lt1 lt2 things.i only train with a hr monitor so it is good for me to structure my training around those numbers.
  6. i did bike and run tests on seperate days at Stellenbosch Fisiology lab basicly to determine hr training zones.I have followed the same testing protocol at home to find MY hr zones for both cycling and running.they were a bit cheaper than SSI and i am still using their formulas ie persentage of tests to determine my garmin hr training zones.

    Cape Epic 2026

    this all started when mtb riders started wearing white shoes.(i say this in jest)
  8. a wetsuite used for triathlon and for surfing are not the same thing.water in mossel bay normally makes it a wetsuite optional swim.if i were you i would rather swim without a surf wetsuite than with one but the best would be to either rent or buy a second hand one.many tri wetsuites will be floating around for sale after durban 70.3 as a lot of athletes only do it as a bucket list.my 2 cents worth
  9. as to your question yes i always cycle with my pepperspray.i also run with it.i think part of the problem is that there are just more and bigger cars on the road and then the road becomes smaller for more vulnerable users.but no i do not have a solution as to how to change the behaviour of people and that includes drivers of vehicles and cyclists. i hope you heal well.
  10. the only mantra i have when cycling on the road is rather be a living dog than a dead lion irrespective of who is in the right or who is in the wrong. p= mv if i recall correctly and from that me thinks i will always come second even if i was not in the wrong.
  11. The only benefit what i can see ok hear is that i know when a person is sitting in the draftzone during a non draft tri. other than that you can just as well stick a playing card on your frame and let it make a noise against the spokes.
  12. wonder where he stole the shoes as well
  13. I have started easy run walk on the trails in Paarl and more spec Paarl mountain. I normally run in Asics novablast 4 on the road , but they are a bit slippery on the loose gravel. Any suggestions to look at a very very much intro shoe? and not breaking the bank if the trail running is perhaps not for me. I wear 2 e wide shoes
  14. Video footage is admissable in court yes as long as it satisfies all the evidentiary criterium. As to whether it is worth the fight it is a different question. You still need to lay a charge and the the wheels of justice might turn eventually. It is a different scenario if you were hit and you choose the route of criminal and/or civil litigation. The question is whether the cops will investigate the transgression of the bylaw and from my experience the chances of that are small. I do not condone the transgression of the bylaws just my 2 cents worth having practiced as an attorney for 26 years.
  15. I cannot fault you on your bike choice and echo your sentiments. I am on the oooold Fuji SL Team edition roadbike and had the Fuji Norcom Strait TT.So yes I will def see your bike at transition checkin.Travel safe and have a lekker race.
