Cheese

you know nothing is ever fast enough Yeah, reckon you will be at Grey Saturday, hopefully my two gym sessions a week and 8-10 hours on the bike will help me stay with you guys , I doubt it however , will be satisfied with 3 hours. Which in Bloem will be dead last in 105 km.

Easy , Buy Campac do not cycle in the 53 /11 combination but at cadence above 90 , clean and lubricate your chain and you get more out of the chain and it won't let you down in a race. My chain has just reached the 0.5% wear now(under tension off course) , will have to replace next week Cheese2010-01-21 14:01:00

Hi just a comment, My Campagnolo chain has at least 12 000 km on it . My casette and chainring more than 40 000 km . No skipping . Are you only cycling 53/11 or what chain do you have on?

If you take that approach . How can all those peoplle on their Full carbon Dura Ace enjoy cycling if I have to ride an old Aluminuim model. Wishing to have one in six months though

The only positive thing about all those negative people is that I am fairly sure I will get the tickets I applied for. Will also host a few people in our house and I am sure will make a few friends. Looking forward to it

Hi , No matter what the saddle you need to cycle. If you do only 20 km a week you will not get used to the saddle. So my advice , take it up to 20 km a day and see if in week two you still have the same problem.

I must say if I train for two hours , i get my energy from water alone and then eat when I get home.

Anyboduy using USN products. Cyto(something or the vooma)

Agree with Sarge, I am paying R30-00 for a R12K bike comprehensive incl racing. The only problem I have is that I want to insure a R30K bike but can only dream about it but I am making plans to upgrade this year.

Will there be enough time in the day to do the training now that work has started? First training program I did with cadence 50-60

I am insured with Outsurance, covered for racing as well , but must be specified.

Did the first sessions, almost feel too easy , guess the hard work will start Saturday. Tjokkits did you come right with core training

Hi, Try this site for some tips on core exercises http://site.activeworx.co.za/Articles/Strength/Core_training_plans.htm

I did the first two sessions , as per the program and asked the coach what advantage you will get from riding before eating except weight loss which I really need. I will be riding on the 25th but no gym, Its the only day in the year that Virgin is closed. Glad i am not employed there. Had to use them yesterday afternoon as well to do session due to huge thunderstorm.

Hey, Tjokkits I agree , we will see how they will use the info. I am eager to start and acheive the target. wonder how many hubbers busy on plan or are they all waiting for January.

I see you can go to their site now and get the programme , looks like they did not mail the programmes.

Anybody signed up for the sub3 hour challenge with bicycling on bicycling .co.za . I have and still waiting for program. Anybody out there that got training program?

Good to see more about the country than the rugby, some of the change room ssnes not brilliant but overall good movie for ALL South africans to see.

Can somebody tell me what the correct position is for saddle. i know it has something to do with your knee but is not sure?

Thanks for the info, sounds like etver you do is not to be in a hurry, and make it a project to build a bike. make it about the built not the bike.

I am thinking of replacing my road bike. Currently looking at building up new bike. Would like a carbon fibre with S 105 groupset. Where do you start? How do you know if all components will fit. Will Groupsets fit on all Frames. Is it really cheaper building a bike than buying one, Can one trust the people selling components on the net? Does anybody have contacts for component suppliers?
