samson99 Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Eish ... I am so disappointed for your sake. On my side there was the recent cancellation of the Two Oceans Marathon. But there is also the possible announcement on the Comrades later? It's very painful. But I think cancellation of the Cape Epic far outweighs the other events. Sorry Sorry Man, Sucks. Had they cancelled the CTCT, I wouldn't have even bothered about getting or wanting my fee back and I wouldn't have even wanted a discount/free entry next year but with the EPIC it is a completely different story. It is not a cheap exercise at all and it is not just the financial side. I raced CTCT without really doing any training and I did 1 short race a month before. EPIC requires hours and hours of time and dedication. Thanks Eddie-V and LWB. It was the right decision but it does suck. But i do also feel for the organisers. they need to now figure out what to do with this years entries as most of the money has been spent already. but we wait and see. Long Wheel Base 1
The Ouzo Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 so I guess we wont be seeing any record broken for this challenge this year Long Wheel Base and Hairy 2

Last commute this afternoon, then only when lockdown lifted again. going to be a interesting lockdown with 2 little kids, limited exercise and work Looks like I may have one day extra ... closing Thursday, so can commute tomorrow still ... and there look to be enough commuters to make the ride through dodgeville safe
Hairy Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Can I log a ride from my garage to the my home office desk over this period of time?
Bateleur1 Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Are you guys not going to buy some basic groceries with the bikes. That should count as a commute . Just don't mentioned it on the hub, you might get grilled for that

Sad part is I will most likely continue to work from home for a few months after lockdown. Eish Andrew64, Bateleur1, Hairy and 1 other 4
wildwindfr Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 We started work this past week.I commuted 4 days. It was less of a hassle then taking the car.I was not stopped on my bike, however in the car I was.Have my permit on me the whole time.The less I have to interact with people the better.Pity I can't get away from people at work.There are so many morons around and people that just don't care about keeping distance.Going to be "fun" the next couple of months.

Ed-Zulu Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Although I can't partake in this challenge due to the morning kids bus run (normal circumstances), I have been commuting to work the past few days since re-opening and also do so during school holidays. What was immediately apparent on my route was the absolute lack of glass in the yellow line! I enjoy my beer and some red wine and look forward to sip on a good red wine again, but it is incredible to think that the vast majority of broken glass along the road was booze related. I must admit I'm somewhat surprised about it. Anyhow, to those still able to work and earn a living and commute on a bicycle to work, enjoy it. To my fellow cyclists who are not privileged to do so, I think of you and hope that you'll be on your bike and in work again soon! Hairy and Bateleur1 2
The Ouzo Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 I did my first commute this morning since March. Felt pretty good. EddieV, Albatross, Long Wheel Base and 2 others 5
wildwindfr Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 Nice. Been of the bike for the last 2 weeks. Been just to busy, both at work with skeleton staff and work at home.Wife tiled the house and I had to redo doors and other jobs after work.Hopefully back riding on Monday. Hairy 1
The Ouzo Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 The plan was to ride as much as possible, and with everyone else mostly still in lockdown I was ever so slowly creeping up the ranks from dead last. But knee pain has put me off the bike since wednesday last week.I hoping to get back on around thursday or so. Bateleur1, Hairy and Long Wheel Base 3
Long Wheel Base Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 The plan was to ride as much as possible, and with everyone else mostly still in lockdown I was ever so slowly creeping up the ranks from dead last. But knee pain has put me off the bike since wednesday last week.I hoping to get back on around thursday or so.I am still pretty much sitting at home, Go into work a day here and a day there(was last at work last week Monday and then here today, Hopefully come in on Friday and then nothing planned for another 2 weeks) but even when I can come to work, I can't ride. The security procedures for the covid control is not really bicycle happy. We only have 1 gate open so there is a lot of queing and 1 oke on a bicycle in the que is not cool. Then if your temp is to low, you need to wait until you warm up and about a month ago when it was so cold we were all to low so sat there rubbing our foreheads to get the temp up so we could go in. Hope your knee comes right, the cold doesn't help. Hairy 1

Hairy Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I am going to be completely out the running this year. Been working from home since lock down started, and it looks like I will still be working from here for the foreseeable future. EddieV and Long Wheel Base 2
