Two of those rules are that I don't stick my nose into what her shoes cost and she does the same for bikes. Then one day, in passing conversation I told her how shocked I was at the cost of good cycling shoes ............... she laughed and said to go buy a pair immediately because that was a bargain .............. now I really have to force myself to look the other way every time I walk past an upmarket womens shoe boutique. ????

No I know why the times a exponentially slower in the later groups. No one seems to understand that riding in a bunch is the optimal way to go.

Put see through stickytape on your helmet and put the helmet sticker on the stickytape. After the race the stickytape peels off and leaves no paper or sticky marks behind. I'm a bit OCD so I put the sticker upside down, then I cut the strips of stickytape and stick it to the back of the sticker(shiny side obviously) then cut the stickytape around the shape of the sticker and stick the sticker to my helmet. Dude do you want to upset the weight weenies? Those extra grams, ho my hat. FootballingCyclist and Scary Rider 2
MORNE Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Guys, wats the understanding with dropping back some groups and the transition zones? Its a bit ambiguous. I try to imagine worst case scenario where lets say 5000 people end up in a specific group..which wouldn't be allowed? Or do we just do it as usual? Pitch up in the later group/zone where you want to start with friends? Edited October 9, 2021 by MORNE

I asked this question yesterday, I was told just pitch up at any time after your start groups "window" and you will be allowed to start in any other bunch during their 3min window....

dev null Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Doing a relaxed ride tomorrow. Weather will be great for a PB ride but I am well out of shape this year. So I will stop and have a rest at every second water point just enjoying the tour for what it really is about.

Yes. My mom's fetish for shoes was the cause for many fights between her and my dad and almost led to divorce. My dad had no sport or hobbies in which to sink his money into, instead just trying to keep the home's finances afloat while my mom did the spending.

Going for a short ride just now, I see it's cloudy again, hope it clears because I got wet yesterday so didn't have a proper ride. Had a few seasons on our ride to Melkbosstrand this morning as well. Rain and rain, then sunny while having coffee, then rain again. Now to clean the sand off my bike. Whooo... Long Wheel Base 1

A bit cloudy at times but luckily not really windy. Also a bit chilly. All in all nice weather to ride. HdB 1
Long Wheel Base Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Anyone know what happened at sea point? Saw plenty cops and cop cars and those massive riot truck things. Did see a few people standing around with protest boards but nothing to warrant the amount of cops. I rode passed like an hour ago.

Jewbacca Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 All those Anti vaxxers in 1 place.... 127 people die of measles next week. I purchased 2 new inner tubes this morning and now I'm 100% ready for this fiasco. Really looking forward to it this year ChrisF, Scary Rider, MORNE and 1 other 4
