eddy Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 On second thoughts .... think I'll wing it as well, join you 'klapping 'n toon' if I have to! #MeToo. I'll be on an old-school Ritchey CX bike with canti brakes and 35mm takkies.(or more importantly, an old pair of comfortable shoes) mecheng89 1

mecheng89 Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Not sure if everyone got the email, .gpx, .tcx files have been released. No clue what the surface(s) will be like, guess we'll have to take it as it comes!

eddy Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Yip got it, as I recall TCX is the best format if you have a Garmin Edge device with maps? I downloaded the GPX. What is difference between it and TCX on a Garmin ? Edit. Google told me. I'll use TCX NotSoBigBen and mecheng89 2

mecheng89 Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 Was nice meeting Ben and Eddy this morning. I hope the organizer brings out a survey, would like to give my opinion. Man, did those front two haul ass! Thanks to the mechanic at the checkpoint for helping me out with my wheel. Good race, will do it again. eddy 1
eddy Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 I hope the organizer brings out a survey, would like to give my opinion. Good race, will do it again. What a lekker event even if I cut a sidewall 12km in and has a slow leak after I plugged it. Had to keep bombing and pumping until the slow leak became a very fast one and I went down at 80km which meant the end of my ride. Good seeing you again and meeting Ben. Ps, I have the organiser's details if you want them.
NotSoBigBen Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Great meeting you guys! Jeez despite the 'casual' standing around before the start and all the hipster looking guys the pace was pretty furious from the 'gun' ???? I had great fun out there but man the heat was just something else! mecheng89 and eddy 2
