My 530 just stopped working, wouldnt turn on any more. Bought it back in 2019 in the USA. Send it to garmin SA, and I got a brand new unit for free, no charge at all!

yup, totally. not my first bike

its a L.

im 188. This is before the setup, I rode this morning as is but it is a touch high. Setup on Monday morning.

im 188. It needs to drop a touch, setup on Monday morning.

Picked up my new 2023 Propel today! Super happy with the way it turned out, also very lucky to have got my hands on one.

Yes, as I mentioned, at registration but I bet they will still get 100s of emails and calls. Ill just wait and see what they say at registration.

In regards to seeding queries, in pervious years has anyone done so at registration and been successful? My last seeding race showing on Racetec is from 2020, but I am riding the Herald in PE this weekend which will drastically improve my seeding. I guess there is no harm in asking?

I will be under 14 day home isolate from Sunday the 29th when I return to Hong Kong! This is going to come in really handy....

Easy answer... there isn't one!

I was unlucky to come off in one of the crashes yesterday just before Simtswinkel infront of the medics tent at least. Nothing broken just nasty road rash and a damaged bike. About 5 or 6 of us in one crash, one guy stretcher off the road and taken to hospital. That had to of been the most dangerous race I have ever ridden, these mega bunches formed from the 1min gaps was just crazy and things got extremely scary coming into Simonstown, even the mood in the bunch changed. As much as I would love to come back and race it again im not sure I will if this is the organisers plan for the future.

Ive flown into JNB 3 times in the last month from overseas and the procedure in JNB is that military personal come onboard the aircraft and scan everyones temperature. Then everyone is scanned again at passport control. For actual testing being done, no.

We arrived in PE from Hong Kong two weeks ago, before anyone asks Virus free . We driving to George tomorrow and then to Cape Town on Friday, just to break the trip up for the kids and to see some of the Garden Route. The drive is a nice change or us. Looking forward to a nice week in Cape Town and a great CTCT!

Good Day all! Any ideal who offers bicycle transport from PE to CT for the CTCT?

Very emotional ride today for me. We lost my father in-law at 3am this morning but I knew I had to go ride for him. The goal was to do a Sub 3hr but starting from H it was going to be hard. With the help from a friend that dropped back from B we did a 2:56! I know the old man helped me out today.

I eat every 30min on the bike. Its either a fast bar/far bar, a couple pieces of dried fruit, a gel etc... even a sandwich with honey on it. Real food is always better than processed stuff, give it a try. And then liquid, I consume around 250-350ml ever half hour or so. I have water in one bottle and a high5 zero hydration tablet in the other. No energy sugary energy drinks, I get enough from the food. Stay away from those USN Cramp Blockers, I've tried them and they caused more cramp than anything, only way to fix cramps is to ride longer, its the only way. All the best with your decision, but regardless just go out and enjoy the day. Im flying over 10000km to come and ride as its such a good day out, a hard ride but so good!

Does anyone have the list with all the start groups and times?

I often order from CRC and gets sent to my front door in Hong Kong. On average 3 or 4 days and that's with SkyNet. So it may not be a actual CRC problem but more so just another problem in SA.

13 hours on a plane to get here and at 20km a spoke broke on the back wheel! 75km on a seriously wobbly wheel and no back brakes made it interesting! Coming from the coast the altitude just killed me and my legs did not enjoy the lack of oxygen, the cramp was real! Anyway onto the next one, CTCT!

Greetings... I will be in PE next week, any info on group rides? Im staying in Lorraine but can meet anywhere. Thanks in advance,

Did my last last big ride this morning, 75km and 1060m climbing, one more light spin tomorrow and then its on the plane to South Africa tomorrow night! The altitude is going to kill me!

I will be flying out next week to do the 94.7 just for a seeding time for CTCT 2019! Last time I entered any race in SA was in 2016.... Really looking forward to doing both!

Ive asked for a reseeding, been put in HH. I been living outside of SA for the last two years so have been unable to do any local races. Hopefully I get something further up!

Hens the reason I said if you so wished. Your choice... all ideas and options, just trying to help if I can.
