Oltremo

Weight has piled on over the last 18 months of inactivity. 1.92m @ 107kg. Have attempted many times to slow down and dejunk calorie intake and increase exercise. It has been very erratic and not yielding any results. Being 50 also doesn't make it easy. Seeing this thread is a good thing. I will use all your success stories, and communal challenges to stymie my next tummy attack.

Took my new Machine out for a first road ride yesterday. Absolutely awesome, thanks to Neville and Lance at Epic Cycles for great service and setup.

Damn, this is so unacceptable. I was jacked same area 4 weeks ago. Yes, I will be changing my training times to after work,or group mornings, so as to avoid the solo early mornings. I will be doing so in the interests of my safety, but it feels so much like I am giving in, and accepting this unacceptable state of affairs, and I wish I did not have to do that......

Hi All, thanks for posting Meezo. It happened @5.20 on Zwaanswyk rd, coming from Tokai Circle. I noticed the supicious toyota earlier in my ride, coming out of the residential area just passed Blue Route Centre before the garage.4 people in vehicle. When they turned left at tokai circle direction ou kaapse weg, I though I was in the clear to go and do some intervals up Zwaanswyk. On that dark stretch of road after the entrance to the residentail complexes, before the left turn up Zwaanswyk, the vehicle was next to me, and bumped me off the road.I jumped clear off the bike. No lights, no number plate One guy jumped out, threatened to shoot me, had his hand behind his back as to pull out gun. I did not see the gun, but I was not gonna challenge him (something my psychologist needs to sort out). Anyways, other guy jumped out of car, climbed on bike and rode off. One was pulling cell etc out of my pockets, driver stayed in car, woman also jumped out of car and searched me. Very harrowing experience. Thanks to cyclists that stopped to assist. Before careful out there.

Awesome !!!

It looks totally awesome. Indicative that the onda designs are outdated. I am sure this frame will perform as well as the best of the rest. My only issue is that the price will be unjustified.

I am in Dale, lets do it.

More info please. Who is this race catering for? Cat 2 Vets and Cat 3 Masters? Vets have normally been Cat 3, why now Cat2, what is different? Can a 46yr old enter Cat 3 Masters?

Awesome WPCA. I like !!!!

I am gonna give it a try. I am assuming that there will be a few like minded amateurs, striving for some good racing excitement and development. I am also thinking that more people should support (and the organisers will value and encourage such support), so that we grow our local racing calendar.

Good thread. Thanks for the inputs. I will be travelling to UK and Belgium end March, was also toying with best mode of bike travel, have decided to leave bike at home, and rent one in Belgium, due to below mentioned fears.

Not meaning to be insensitive...... does that mean that tonight will be like a 'social pace' mass ride around the track.

Hi, Any hubbers going to Tour of Flanders in April? Any hubbers got advice on travelling on such trips? Any advice on tour operators. Are they worth the cost, or can the same be done through own planning? Thanks,

try replacing batteries

I use the Thule one, and I have no complaints.
