Coffee is good enough to get you going because of the caffiene. As faras keeping you going you gonna need some carbs in the form of a energy drink which you normally use. I would take one bottle od water as well. Just remember coffee is a diuretic so expect a stop especially early morning because of tbe cold. Our blood vessels constrict in the cold so our body compensates for by having the kidneys work a bit harder and create more urine to regulate your blood pressure. You could substitute your coffee for dark hot chocolate, there was a useful article in the recent Ride magazine on this, or milo which will give you some carbs and then have some oats or any other low gi cereal for breakfast because you want a slow release food source to sustain your energy levels. Its not impossible to bonk on such a short ride. What we sometimes also forget is our post ride meals so include proteins in that, something simple like a protein shake or a steri stumpie funny enough. Hope this helps

Pm me your bike fitters details kanalla

What I have done when looking at new products I usually just google for reviews. Lot of reviews are available online from magazines and buyers alike. Compare them to write ups fom the manufacturer and then decide. Consider as well what you gonna use them for.

So that was you before 7am on the mountainside. Could see your lights from Woodstock. Wasnt sure should I call SANPARKS to check it out if it was some muggers. Awesome lights.

Anyone know how to upload pics onto thehub using an ipad or iphone. It doesnt allow you to make a file selection. Even tried the copy and paste but doesnt work.

Is there a TT version yet. Where do I place an order

as mentioned on Supercycling this week Carte Blanche will be screening their program on the bike hijackings tommorow evening at 7pm on the paid channel. Im sure no one will miss it.

I work in emergency services and all too often I have collected cyclists from falls and noticing damages to helmets I could clearly state that if those cyclists had not worn their helmets their brains would come off 2nd best against the road, rocks or a tree. Often I see cyclists be they commuters or kids that dont wear helmets and they sustain injuries that could be avoided. I dnt understand the point of the research anyway by testing whether a helmet helps or not. No wonder the results were inconclusive. Its a choice between being able to tell the story about your accident or having to feed yourself through a tube attached to a bag and have someone else wipe your ass and change your adult diaper for the rest of your life or even having your family cry at your funeral. A helmet would not save you injuries or death all the time but it definitely minimises the risk immensely. Whether you are commuting , training or just taking your bike around the corner after a wash wear your helmet and do so for your kids as well. It just takes a kid to fall over with their bike from a stationary position and knock ghier head to cause some serious damage. If wearing your helmet doesnt make you look cool buy a cool helmet.
