Then my last question, I am looking for a good looking tri suit. Troisport does not have anything different and bike basement also got rid of their tri gear.

Where can I go and get something that would not just be the norm?

 

I am in Jhb if it helps

 

Thanks

Anyone used bicycletransport.co.za before?

Yep, that is Joggie and his crowd. Was good, the bike is transported complete and it's a roll on/off . The time in Durban I used them they were a bit late in ariving but apart from that it's great.

Time for the weather predictions and updates about to start soon?

Followed by the usual Paniektoestand and the the resignation that is what it will be.

 

:clap:

 

Im coming in with low expectations and will no doubt be pleasantly suprised  :whistling:

Apparently it will be windy and hot, or cold and rainy....or both....or neither...or, or or...

 

Either way, it's the 2nd toughest 70.3 in the world so let's prepare to suffer  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Hi CM,

 

I don't know if it meets your looks needs, but i highly recommend 2XU (based in PE) - you can shop online. Great service and after sales from them and I'm personally very happy with my trisuit.

With 70.3 DBN being done and dusted, who's heading down for the tenth edition of 70.3 East London on Jan 2017?

Good afternoon Fanie, doing my first half in Durbs this year, is it better than the one in east london? And also, how is the cycing route on Durbs 70.3, fast?

 

Cheers Retief

Hi Mike

 

Thanks for the heads-up

 

I have contacted them but I think they are only back this week. I am looking at the black and red, but they do not have stock at the moment.

 

I am waiting for their reply.

I have heard that they have good quality goods though

Hi Retief,

 

I did the first one in Dbn in 2015

 

We swam that year. The swim is not to bad the conditions are good.

The cycle is fairly flat with one or two longish climbs, but it is a lot faster than EL

The run is flat but it's no fun, when we did it the beachfront was open to "normal" sunday traffic which meant you had to dodge kids on skateboards while suffering through the run

edit: also not sure if I am biased, but the vibe in slummies is 100 times better than DBN

Agreed the vibe is better, especially on the run leg.... although always almost die from the braai smoke just after bunkers hill when am gasping for air!!  :blink:
