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.

Has anyone used Beukes Toere previous years to shuttle between Knysna and Uniondale? Were they found to be safe and reliable?

This is by far one of the better topics I have seen on the Hub recently. Lots of good points, Thanks. I have a lot of belief in Intervals, 2 and 5 min at VO2max, 10-15min at Threshhold, and Endurance rides. Regularly riding hard with stronger riders (trying to keep up) also brings quick improvements, physically and more importantly mentally.

Hi, I am looking to hire a road bike in Midrand surrounds, 19-23 Jan, size 60 (XL) Please let me know of any individuals or bike shops that could assist Thanks,

Hi, I am going to be in Durban for a few days from Thur. Can anyone advise a of a safe 2hr out and back road bike route from The Bluff area.

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 !!!
