  1. I am on track... Did the Atta mini, entered for the Trans karoo and Transbaviaans Hopefully a good year for cycling and having fun on the bike. ..... and I found my mojo... dont know where. Somewhere between awesome grouprides and fun on the bike. buy it is back zzlove my nikes:)
  2. At least you can still see humour it the situation. Which is a good thing.Well done! hope next time goes better.....much much better. Had a nice giggle on your story.
  3. If it works it is going to be awesome!
  4. Also trying that next time.
  5. What he said. I used to hate riding in the wind. It was like riding into a brick wall. I then learnt to change my focus. But more of that later. Firstly small adjustments on your body position make a big difference. When I struggle I tend to pull my shoulders up ending with my neck pulled in between my shoulders. This creates a block and it also channels the wind into the front of my body but If I relax my shoulders , I must become more aero as I immediatly can feel the change how the wind flow over my body and off my back. With that done I also change my focus. Were I used to focus on the wind blowing against my chest - giving you the feeling that you ride against a wall. I now focus on the wind blowing over my shoulders and over my back. This will give you the feeling of how you ride through the wind. Relax, dont use to a big gear and ride a very strong headwind like you would have a hill. I also helps to keep telling yourself how much stronger you are getting as apose to siting at home because the wind is too strong.. Wind is the weights in cycling it makes you stronger. Easy and soon you will use the wind to your advantage. I am no pro but this works for me.
  6. Ha ha perfect! We are going to make a mean team Dizzylizzy!
  7. Not avoiding. Just don't like to commit to something I cant follow through.
  8. Ha ha Vetseun. Sitting here sipping my coffee - not knowing what to expect - I can commit to a braai, but after 230km I will probably drop dead and sleep for 2 days.

  15. Awesome!! My dog is a whippet x breed and he is like a bullet. Gives me chills every time we go out on a plain field. EDIT Always think of the dog and the owner thats alike story ....... and wish it was true. Would have helped my cycling a lot.

    Tour de Philadelphia

    I phoned PPA and they confirmed that they are not involved with this race. This also means that if you want to be timed, you need to buy the 2time chip. Next weekend league riders must wear both and other mortals only need the racete chip as it will be a Ppa race.

    Tour de Philadelphia

    This is not a PPA event and therfore it would not count towards your PPA seeding. You also need a 2time chip to be timed.
  24. Hopefully it will be my first one this year.
