  5. Oh yeah its official 10th October
  6. Its not called hospital bend for jokes....
  7. Had a little visitor on Chapman's peak this morning
  8. I had leg troubles late last year even went to the doctor Got meds, looked for advice even asked for opinions on bikehub In the end it was bad cleat position......so my advice would be to start there first
  9. Wind speeds up to 90kmph recorded at chappies Guess we won't be seeing any strava rides for today
  10. Wife and myself rode on Saturday and we were lucky with the weather it was fantastic
  11. If you doing 75 you will easily do the tour .... Anyway some new people I know entered and they not comfortable doing 100km plus rides
  12. Theres 2 events 1. The charity 109 2. The virtual race Originally the email said you just need to ride 109kms for the month of March and the proceeds are for charity Not everyone has time for a 109 and some entered because they were under the impression you had the month to do 109 some of my friends who just started cycling entered this Also organizers shouldn't change rules after receiving payments ....not cool I'm doing my 109 this weekend but still its not right Also the daily prizes so far have being going to those fortunate enough to ride 109 during the week this was not communicated properly
  13. Kinda annoyed that they changed the wording on the 109 challenge Previously it just stated 109 anywhere anytime now I see they updated the rules to say the 109 or more must be ONE SESSION
  14. Spotted you guys going through kalk bay The weather was awesome down south
  15. They stated masks not required for vigorous exercises So just pedal harder and faster Yeah this 6am story really eats into the cycling routine
  16. Some feedback I was at the doctor and it appears as if I've damaged my left upper muscle just a little bit and I'm not giving it enough rest. So no cycling for a week and I'm taking anti inflammatory tablets However if this still persists then I will have to see a bio kinetisis I also spoke to the guy who done my bike fit so I'm just waiting to meet him for a check up to make sure everything still setup properly
  17. Thanks everyone I have an appointment tomorrow let's see what the doctor says
  18. Thanks everyone for the responses appreciate it My upper muscles above the knee are stiff its even painful to bring my knee to my chest As mentioned we ride every weekend min 60kms so 5kms in really worries me When we do 80kms I use biogen electrolytes during a cycle My midweek cycles I just use plain water as thats under 30kms Maybe its best I see a doctor
  19. I had one done 3 months ago and since then I've had no issues until last week This is why I'm baffled perhaps I need to ask this guy to do another check Got a new bike 3 months ago and done the fit. We cycle every weekend since then so not sure why I'm having issues now
  20. Hi all I know the topic of cramps is never ending but please can someone maybe point me in the right direction I've been cycling for 3 years now and on weekends we normally do 80km rides and in the week I do one or two 30km rides when possible Last week Wednesday at work I felt my left leg giving some pain even walking up a flight of stairs at work but I never paid much attention. Then on Saturday past the wife and myself decided to cycle but 5kms in my left leg started cramping up and at 7km it started to affect my right leg. Canceled the ride and just about made it back to where we parked the car I've been resting since Saturday and decided now to try cycle again and again 5kms in it just got too painful to continue Any advice for me ? I've been taking slow mag since Saturday afternoon in the hopes that it would help At which point would you suggest I seek medical advice Thanks
