The Ouzo

glad the incident was not any worse, hopefully these guys get caught very soon.

same incident I assume ?

I've received reports of a bike jacking near ORT Airport by the railway lines this morning. Group of 7 were ambushed with rocks thrown at them, they grabbed one guy and his bike, when the group gave chase the perps started shooting. Everyone is ok, but they lost a bike and a cellphone

if I could afford to run 2 sets of tyres, or even better, 2 sets of wheels, I'd have the Pirellis for training and the something fast like the GP5000 for race day.

it all depends on what you're looking for in a tyre, for me I'd rather sacrifice rolling resistance for puncture protection

an alternative to the GP500s that everyone is suggesting is the Pirelli Cinturato Velo. Excellent puncture resistance and wet and dry performance.

been watching Lioness, its decent enough to keep us entertained and coming back for more.

there was another small get together of cyclists to raise awareness some 45 odd years ago that some how evolved over the years into the largest timed cycling event in the world.

its possible they could have been available in blue, the ones I used to have were black. looks like a more modern version of what I used to use

now if you could get the cleats for those pedals it would be a winner

look, cycling is my lifestyle, like NSBB said earlier, its not just about the physical fitness, but mental too. If I'm off the bike for to many days I get grumpy. The motivation I speak of is for those off days, the waking up early morning and the weather is rubbish or like in my case you've had insomnia that night and you just dont feel like going out. These are the days where having a measurable time based goal helps to push you out the door. For most of the other days the only motivation that is needed is being on the bike. Heck this morning we had a minor crash, a lady that punctured and we had to stop 3 times for, cut the route short because of time constraints with all the stops and still it was a great time on the bike

water is HARD at high speeds, I got battered a bruised a number of time, fortunately only the one broken rib though.

I do lover my early morning rides, preferably in silence though. even with our group rides, you'll often find me tucked in in the middle in dead silence whilst everyone around is socializing.

very much so, and I do prefer it to later in the day, but when you suffer from a bit of insomnia it does start to take its toll

it helps that he doesnt HAVE to get up at 4am to go ride before work
