  1. hi David When I review my fitness curve - it defaults to a certain start & end date. I then adjust manually. The next day, same original dates!! Not the newly selected ones. What am I doing wrong:-) Thx

    FUN, FUN, FUN, and no license required!! Nice that the N+1 rule also applies.

    Go have a look on YT. My recurve has a front sight only. So the "back sight" is the fixed point on your face/lips/cheek. Teaches you consistency. Aligned to the Olympics std. This single point sight needs to be adjusted based on the distance from the target. So remember your setting per distance!! A reputable archery shop will advise you. This also saves arrow cost (a few years back it was R100 per arrow, cheaper stuff) Instinctive shooting without any sights takes very long to master. Compound will have a back sight in the bow string.

    I love the recurve!! There are tons of very good YT videos that will teach you the basics. I bought an low poundage bow (27lb) when my (then) young son and I started. To accommodate both of us. I still shoot it. With the low poundage you can practice your technique and not fight the bow the whole time. I have a 70lb longbow which is a beast to shoot. Have fun - it's a great sport/hobby. Next N+1 is a compound....
  7. Great to watch these two masters!!!
  8. True, true But... Truth be told, if I was that serious I would change my diet 1st, drop 6kg, then do at least 2 x HIIT sessions a week, and then the PM... But it would be nice to see the data :-)
  9. I've getting to grips with all the functionality - MUCH better than the Elevate App. Pretty impressed. At one point in time I probably needs to invest in a PM...
  10. Discovered Intervals.icu today and liked it to Strava I've been following my fitness progress on the "Elevate" Strava tool for some time now. And the result of the 2 applications seems to be exactly the same???
  11. Watched "The Undoing" a while back. Good acting from Hugh Grant, and I am a Nicole fan!! Watching 3 out of 6 episodes of "A Confession" with another Love Actually actor (Martin "the Hobbit" Freeman).
  12. I enjoyed the Markie Mark "Shooter"
  13. If you want to look at a non rigid option - I have an 80mm Reba that will be available soon.
  14. Two of my December attempts - no changes
  15. A bit coloured graded, or straight out of the phone?
  16. The OCD in me needs to ask.... What's up with your watches with the bezel not set at zero.
  17. I am one of then 4 years = 4 jackets, 2 fleece, 2-3 t-shirts Their kit is top class - especially the jackets - why buy more?
  18. Love the look!!!
  19. I am jealous - so I'm going to be nasty - time to clean your handlebar tape. It looks tacky with those pristine shoes - and the pretty Giant Sies man!!
  20. Procycles at on the BCC site (next to the Gym) in the old clubhouse building, they should be able to help. BTW - I see families and riders on the trail every day.
  21. Eish. Been away since Friday. Not good to see this news. Very little changed the past week or so, the organisers probably knew last week already the race will be cancelled. I'm very happy I didn't enter!!!
  22. I had a Rapport in 1983 when they were blood red - just started cycling. So 1980-ish is a good bet
  23. We were on holiday and VDK is out in the sticks. So all very chilled Apart from her and my son being super supportive, they understood my crazy behaviour to ride in that kind of weather. And the implications if dehydrated severely..
  24. Agree The year before I rode the same route, same time of year, cooler at 42 deg, and I was just fine. Still drank a lot, but I didn't fall off a cliff halfway.
  25. Never take the card, just cash!!!
