Soooooooooooo,

 

Last Night at the weekly Tue night Killarney track ride, The PPA Chairman announced that they have penciled down the 10/10/2021 for the CTCT. Followed by the usual "PPA members get 1st priority" and then also that the race will be capped to only 15 000 entrants.

 

So for those who trained hard, start training hard again LOL

 

*Wonder if those who paid to do it virtually  can say they've already paid for the 2021 event or will also get preference :ph34r: .

This morning my friend Sakkie completed his 31st consecutive CTCT 109 for 109 Charity Challenge for March 2021.

 

He also turned 61 today and to celebrate his wife had a special medal made to celebrate.

I been following his rides on strava. They been proper rides as well, not just flat tailwind stuff. This is really Grand Tour stuff. I take my hat off to him.

Well Done Sakkie.

His rides haven't had any climbing under 1000m either. Aaaah to be comfortably retired and still enjoy your cycling everyday

And I'd bet if you question them you'd get told to mind your own business and get somewhat "attacked" for trying to be "righteous".

so far 146 people have had their strava on when riding hospital bend this year.

Surprisingly i though all of these would be just okes doing their  "pure" argus route, instead quite a few do it all year round it seems.

ps. (for those who don't know, this is probably the most dangerous stretch of freeway in CT, definitely a dumb place to ride)

Translation ....

 

October sees the changing of the seasons.  Early October could be cold or mild temperatures.

 

Traditionally the last week or two of October had the odd HOT days, the beginning of summer.  These would test and show up the flaws in air conditioning systems ... this would signal the start of the busy period for the HVAC techs.  That said, the last 2 or 3 years summer started significantly later.

 

 

Going by this, the temperatures really should be nice for riding ..... touch wood !!
