THE BODY CENTRE

Mark – would appreciate your comments on this scenario Experienced MTB rider – including stage races, 40+ Started riding with 32GI sometime before the CPT and was very happy with the drink. The first 3 days into the CPT, he felt good, raced well – placed in the top end of the field – fueled by 32GI. (Sorry, i am unclear on what else he took on the ride) On the 4 th day, he had a sudden and total sense of depletion, lost about an hour on GC. He then took 4 GU s and Coke and finished Day 4 on that. His interpretation of this incident was, that the low GI wasn’t enough to fuel his race needs, and at the same time keep his glycogen stores replenished for the consecutive days of hard racing. I personally think that his conclusion is incorrect ...but I would like to hear your opinion on this, and especially your view on nutrition for stage race event, like these

i'll order in an extra tub next time, then you can come to test this unflavoured flavour

Unflavoured flavour - now in stock at BODYANDBIKE. 021 910 2840

yip -- often people have gone for professional/scientific etc bike setup - but they have assymmetries in their normal gait - so in order to be 'correctly' setup -- you actually need to get as close to that 'normal assymmetry'. Stand in front of a long mirror, without correcting anything. Chances are that your one foot is at a sligth angle, compared to the other side. This assymmetry might originate at the pelvis, hip- , knee, or ankle joint .. and is 'your normal'. remember that when people have headache - they might be suffering from a normal cold, meningitis, brain cancer, bad eyes, too much alcohol .... The same goes with knee pain on the bike -- one guy's knee pain doesn't equal the other guys knee pain. There's no generic answer ...

BODYANDBIKE will be stocking the unflavoured TUBS. Expecting arrival this week. Limited stock ordered for a first order - so consider to prebook yours if want to try out this new unflavoured flavour. I also want to mention that BODYANDBIKE will be closed from the 24th of December, and reopen 10th Jan 2011 .. so all who have to stock up on Cape Town's lowest price 32GI - TAKE NOTE! 021 910 2840

Hi Suikerbossie - saw this thread now by accident. I have quite a few pics up on my facebook site (Torque Pics - as if thats a name & surname) i'm not going to upload the DC pics to the website, but i've pretty much sorted all of the pics now. I've put together quite a few teams' pic CDs. So mail me your team name and i can have a look for you. rust @ iafrica dot com. the official photographers were Action Photo, but i haven't checked their site to see if they have uploaded yet.

I want to get a bike for my computrainer that can be used by a number of people weighing > 130kgs What kind of bike would stand for this? Your input would be appreciated

don't ignore this! but it sounds to me more like * possible previous injury (?whiplash/old rugby injury - neck related) * your position on the bike (bike maybe set up well, but u not sitting on it 'properly') -- i would like to see what u look like from the side, on yr bike. do u sag thru your shoulders, neck arched? but there's an unhappy nerve there

DRAMA DRAMA ... my version of the pic thread is actually quite simple - i really wasn't up to another white line thread - i love this sport, i love being there with you, i will definitely post pics again -- but if i have to post only pics that satisfy the 'rules are rules' criterium .. i'm going to struggle on the DC batch ... and we end up getting everybody DQ'd (fun event!) ...and besides, I'm guilty too - for half of the time (on the m/bike) we don't even adhere to the traffic rules driving on the right side i uploaded a couple of pics here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2071475&id=1147886727&l=8c55c3d90d PS: and i will be putting CD's together for teams, which will for me be easier than uploading to the website - just so u know

... nah ... only about 5 000 (or whatever fills 40Gb) We have just arrived home Airbender -- and i'm trying to clear stuff off my hard drive to try and get this downloaded successfully -- so will post some asap

I don't really have 'a story' -- but it was quite EPIC for me to see the Daikin team taking there place behind the lead vehicle! Winning the DC is one thing, but to actually be the first team to finish, after starting 2nd from last ... is amazing! And I think I will start another thread for this -- but i really think it would be useful to compile a 'handbook' for (have never cycled, never raced) riders of back up vehicles! I think some of them could do with well intended guidelines (ie -- don't stop your back up vehicle in a place where your team has already passed )
