Starry nights

Did around 1500 in my first year of cycling in 2010. Aim to double that this year. Also lost 6kg and want to lose 2x that too this year. Loving mtb

See the thread on training before breakfast and the paper in Journal of Physiology refered to there - you can cancel the bad effects of this time of year by some pre-brekkie training

That's like saying investment fraud is ok - they never force you to invest, but take your money for personal gain and you get nothing back? Not ok with me?!

This is misleading advertising and is illegal - which someone with the time and money would charge them all as the criminalals they are - stealing peoples money and not giving back what they promise!

Is all this hassle worth the R100 you will get back? I understand it may be a matter of pricipal but time is money too.

The risk of non-payment is probably much less in the UK than here - so will work for them?

:D Did you eat the meat (read cow) pie to get back on the cows!?

All sounds good - thanks. My concern was that the money goes to WRSA members who could pay to protect their rhinos themselves (mostly wealthy people - have to be to have bought rhino) and who's rhinos often end up dead anyways - although not poached they are often legally shot by foreign hunters.

Hi Thanks - web site looks good. I see the donated money is controlled by WRSA. Does that mean the money goes to protecting their members rhinos?

When it comes to the law - cutting a little slack is the start of the end!

Crooks are not stupid - they will now rip off any lights and carry on! Needs to be in random places within the tubes of the frame?

Parents probably the people who give their timing chips to others who are faster than them!

Have seen a discussion about this before - if I remember it depends on the airline. Pick one that will just take this as part of your weight - or buy extra weight before online at half the price.

Cool stuff - however, a proper experimental set-up would include 20-30+ repetitions of each treatment - and done blindly if possible (probably not). Then you can do a standard t-test to determine if any significant difference between the the means of the two. A once off ride for each treatment won’t sell as science

Ooo not nice - I have had that too - also thought I was having a heart attack - so much intense chest pain I could not even stand!

Wait a day or two and go to your bank and ask them if the deposit is cleared. Only send goods when bank says its fine - if was deposited by checque be extra carful.

Condolences to the family! All round terrible story!

Watch ROAM or another cycling movie - works best for me - or as above high action movies.

Spot on there

I am building my son an XS MTB from parts from the hub - will be a fairly fine bike for about R2000 (decided on V-brakes or would have cost another R1500 - R2000 more), if I can get the last few things cheap too. And I have learned a bit and had some fun along the way.

If you can find someone in the know to help you find a good second hand bike thats the way to do - some real bargans on the hub. This way if you dont find it fun (unlikely) and give up you can sell it again for about what you bought it for. Otherwise I suggest you spend at least around R10 000 on a good harttail or you will just be wanting to upgrade in a few months already. Plenty other advice on the hub and other places on the web too.

I also have the itch to get a new frame - my wife told me to put some cream on it Good luck!

Just had to replace my SRAM PG950 after 1200 km and I thought that was way too soon - same age caseette seems fine?! Have heard you can wreck a chain qiuckly with thick mud if its lost its lube?

Sorry - looks horribly sore - hope its heals fast.

I agree - all to his own really. I do see a gap for a sports scietist to do a proper review if enough properly collected data out there, or a propoerly controlled study on helmits. For instance these data I found and showed although look geniun and probably well meant may be seriously flawed and from a scientific point of view cannot be trusted at all - they certainly dont give how the data were collected in an unbiased controlled way.
