[Joberg2c 2014]

Guys, what company took the photos this year?

[So how was the Joberg2c navigation?]

How do you stop cheating?

 

By now plenty of people know the Sani route and, mostly, if you get off course there is a district road nearby. Perfect for 29'ers.

 

Why you would pay R6k for a race and miss out on the route does not make any sense...(talking about Sani2C)

[So how was the Joberg2c navigation?]

I rode with a Joule GPS and there was no problem following the bread crumb trail. It quickly let's you know that you are off course and like mentioned it is very easy to get back on course.

 

Most of the big turns where either marker or managed by Off road rescue, which I have to add, where superb!

[Boast about your latest purchases here...]

Nice man! How is that crossmark in the front?

 

In the dry you are fine, when it gets wet.... not so fine

[Boast about your latest purchases here...]

Sies that frame deserves to be a SS

 

I need the legs to make it go forward then... I am working on it!

[Boast about your latest purchases here...]

This is still a work in progress. Need to sort out the steerer and then ideally go 1x11 in the next year or so.

Ups and downs I am afraid, first this morning I received this pic of Emily where I am convinced she is smiling at us.

 

 

Then shortly after I heard she has now tested positive for billary, it will be a close call as her system is so weak but the vets reckon she has a 50/50 chance so we are all praying and hoping for more miracles. She has proven to be a tough cookie so if I know Emily she will fight this fight and win.

 

Please send positive thoughts her way.

 

Any Update Ian?

[Pretoria to Harties]

To me, that sounds like an invite

 

I can't agree more! Thanks Riaan, that will be brilliant.

Anywhere in PTA is fine. Going towards Van Galen area.

Where in Pta?

 

Anywhere in PTA. We normally ride from Irene or Fearie Glen area. We are going to ride towards Van Galen.

Hi Guys,

 

Does anybody have a MTB route from Pretoria to Harties?

[[Event] PPC Kremetart Stage Race]

See they say you reach 90 km/hour on descend . Wow that is scary.

Willsee if I can make the trip for this one.

 

And you go through a dark tunnel at those speeds, going from light to dark at 70km/h -90km/h is quite daunting!

Great event but hated the lunch last year, it was rank

But the soup for breakfast was the bomb!!!!!!!!

Guys, I have a decent Onkyo amp and a couple of Jamo speakers. I would like to add a turntable in the mix. Could you recommend a good entry level unit that i should have a look at?

Lack of suppression of circulating free fatty acids and hypercholesterolemia during weight loss on a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet

 

 

Conclusions

 

In conclusion, our data indicate that a high-fat diet, instead of a calorie- and fat-restricted diet, increased LDL-cholesterol concentrations over 6 wk, and that this effect related at least in part to the lack of suppression of both fasting FFA and FFA measured hourly for 24 h. Despite this adverse effect, weight loss was not greater in the High Fat group. Thus, these data suggest that a high-fat diet may have adverse metabolic effects during active weight loss.

 

note : In fact, there was a 2-fold increase in 24-h FFA within the High Fat group between baseline and 6 wk (mean ± SD high-fat change: 4486 ± 2293 μmol/L; P < 0.0001) and a significant difference in 24-h FFA between groups (mean ± SD high-carbohydrate 24-h FFA compared with high-fat 24-h FFA: 4798 ± 1373 compared with 9686 ± 1801 μmol/L, respectively; P < 0.0001)

 

So what does this mean? It means a HFLC diet liberates a lot more free fatty acids than a higher carb diet in your blood. If you are eating PUFA's, or have been eating them your whole life, these PUFA FFA are preferentially liberated and they are highly oxidising causing a multitude of metabolic problems over time.

 

FFA also cause insulin resistance and increased blood glucose.

 

I see more and more articles saying that Cholesterol is not the problem, but rather inflammation and we should focus more on what causes the inflammation. What are you thoughts?

if you contact one of the multitudes of animal shelters I'm sure you could fine one for much less #justSaying

 

Definitely the route I will follow

I have been keen on trying some home made mayonnaise, but a lot off recipes on the internet suggests using grain oils like sunflower or canola, which I am not to keen on. Organic virgin olive oil on the other hand apparently gives the mayonnaise a strange not so lekker taste. What would be a good alternative? Was thinking of avocado oil as it's ratios WRT MUFA's, PUFA's and saturated fatty acids are comparable to that of OVOO. What's more avocado oil has quite a neutral taste.

 

Apparently the best is to use bacon fat. I have not tried it, but there are recipes flying around on the internet.

awesome!

[New triathlon???]

IM bloem!! Perfect venue. Neutral geographic placement and lots of quiet roads as an option - closing them wont affect so many people. Lots of cheap accomodation. What more do you want??

 

N skaap in my goodie bag!!!!!

There are two options, either cycle slightly faster.... or cycle in camo and hope not to be seen

Sorry guys, it's Friday and I am lazy. Can you quickly give me a run down of the ingredients needed for the kefir cheese and just a quick recipe the way you guys do it?

[Coffee machine]

Anyone tried the new Nespresso flavors, I got an email saying the new Kazaar and Dharkan Grand Cru's are in store.? Quite high intensity of 12 and 11 respectively.

 

I need some more pods so I was thinking of trotting over to Sandton and trying them.?

 

Did not even know there are new flavours, just sent my brother to go get!
