Richard the Lion Heart

Hi Shawny/Pierrek - a couple of us ride from the gym in Lakefield every Sunday around 6ish. More then welcome to join us - we do about 50 to 80 kms. DM me if you are keen.

I am using a HRM with my Garmin Edge 500 which was shouting at me a few times during the 94.7, warning me about exceeding my MAX HR. This is not such a worry for me, as going over my supposed max of 178bpm happens a few times over a long ride. My average heart rate for the race was 168bpm - is this someting to worry about? I still felt fine after the race - wouldn't have put my hand up for a second lap but I felt there was something left in the tank.

Thanks tried that already - between all the receptionists and Welcome Center staff at Sun City there was no joy. But I got a response from Smolster and will hopefully set something up.

I have a work thing at Kwamaritane outside Sun City next week, is it worth taking the mountain bike with? Are there any there any routes or tracks that can easily be found and are accessible?

Hi, We ride Pomona way (starting in Benoni) most weekends - there are a couple of routes by Dunblane and Senrengeti Estates etc. Check out my MTB blog I have a few of them documented My link. Send me your details and we will let you know when and where if you want to join us. Regards, Richard

I have just purchased a Giant 1/2 wheeler (bike trailer) to encourage my youngest to learn how to ride. I installed it on the weekend on my wife's bike but it is very unstable. Anybody out there have experience with this and how to make it more secure so the youngster on the back doesn't feel he is going fall? My link

99kg I have finally broken 100

Magical 100kg not broken yet - 50km and 72km MTB rides on the weekend didn't help (ok the eating discipline has been a bit slack)

down to 100kg this morn - 99 here I come

101 kg

I am in - already down from 105 to 102kgs (@1.86m) in the past 3 weeks, aiming for another 10kgs. It is Monday isn't it?
