Offended readers, Courier Guy adverts, eBiker and teenage culprits, manicured berms, an apologetic club ... All I can do is shake my head. In the unlikely event of there being any responses to my post, I won't be engaging in an online debate. I've got much more constructive things to do.

They were interviewed live on SuperSport. But no champagne bottles were popped. Nobody there to provide it. I think I caught a glimpse of somebody being quite firmly pushed back from approaching them as they stood in front of the photographers. Huge respect to them for what was quite literally an epic performance.

Five different visits to the Kranshoek MTO / Cairnbrogie MTB Trails just outside Plett. The most fun I've had on my MTB in a long time. Huge compliments to the trail builders and the corporate sponsors. This will become the benchmark against which other trails will be measured. Will be interesting to see how the trails settle, and how rain will effect the riding experience (although all trails do say "no riding when wet"). My favorites, in order: Dummy Run Old Coot RocknRolla Ziggy's Zig Zag

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-verstappen-handed-further-10-second-penalty-for-lap-37-collision.7GGfMvAnRIGPtMQphh7zCd.html The stewards saw fit to hand Verstappen a further 10-second penalty and two penalty points (taking him to a total of seven over the 12-month period) with their report reading: "At Turn 21 the driver of car 33 [Verstappen] was given the instruction to give back a position to car 44 [Hamilton] and was told by the team to do so 'strategically'. Car 33 slowed significantly at Turn 26. "However, it was obvious that neither driver wanted to take the lead prior to DRS detection line 3. The driver of Car 33 stated that he was wondering why Car 44 had not overtaken and the driver of Car 44 stated that, not having been aware at that stage that Car 33 was giving the position back, was unaware of the reason Car 33 was slowing. "In deciding to penalise the driver of Car 33, the key point for the Stewards was that the driver of car 33 then braked suddenly (69 bar) and significantly, resulting in 2.4g deceleration. "Whilst accepting that the driver of Car 44 could have overtaken Car 33 when that car first slowed, we understand why he (and the driver of Car 33) did not wish to be the first to cross the DRS [line]. However, the sudden braking by the driver of Car 33 was determined by the Stewards to be erratic and hence the predominant cause of the collision and hence the standard penalty of 10 seconds for this type of incident, is imposed." Verstappen was therefore found to have breached Article 2, Chapter IV Appendix L of the FIA International Sporting Code, but keeps his second-place finish and enters the season finale level on points with Hamilton.

Yip. Although I understand where Matt's coming from, the Hub was my first venture onto social media where I could interact with unknown people with whom I shared a common interest. But make no mistake, just because we all ride a bicycle, doesn't make us like-minded! A few names in particular stand out for me: Tinkerbell (RIP) Tumbles (RIP) Dangle Grumpy Old Guy Wayne Potgieter 'Dale TNT Eldron Guy in Pink Stringbean River Rat Conti (weird!) I'll miss the Chit Chat lots, but will still be lurking in the background.

Conties and Hillcrest were just perfect!

I've got some contacts at DMRE who will secretly share this information for a small fee ... ????

Hence Eskom's new proposed availability charge - to be paid by everyone connected to the grid.

It's what I'm doing already, except I hate the (relatively inconvenient) hassle of moving my notebook around after working late in my home office to where my bike and monitor are set up. And visa versa in the morning. I'd far rather be using my Samsung S8, which I couldn't Chrome Cast, and so am enquiring whether any cables can be used to link my device to the monitor.

Repost. Any pearls of wisdom would be much appreciated. Google has been inconclusive until now.

For the IT challenged as myself, is there a way which I can display Zwift from my Android device to a dummy monitor, and in a way which allows my device to keep charging as I use it during a virtual ride? I'm sick and tired of having to set up (and disconnect) my Notebook each time, and wireless options like Google Chromecast don't seem to work on my device. Please help!!

Please tell me how you get your bike to stand in thin air???

It's something I'm trying to research on the web, which within itself can be a minefield of misinformation. All I know is, is that the tiredness is very real, and attitude will be important to overcome it. Whilst real, patients can either see themselves as victims or conquerors.

Started showing mild symptoms on 15 December, and was man down from 21 December. Had a dry cough (like exercise induced asthma), fever, body aches, head aches and extreme tiredness. Felt much better since 4 January. Been on the e-bike a few times on flat rides, with nothing that exceeds an average ride of 70% of max HR. Still have days where I'm exhausted (like today) and don't have any energy. I'll start some more strenuous exercise in a fortnight. It's nothing I've been told or read, just me listening to my body and taking it easy.
