Bulls and you can get it with the components you want. They sell frames only so the shop should be able to kit it out for you. Mine is awesome.

I have lost my tool box at Tokai yesterday. It was in a blue Giant container. If you have found it please pm me and I will tell you what was in it. On the same ride I found Benjamin Johnston's timing chip. If you are him or know him please pm me so I can get it to him. Thanks

They look like they are part of the remote lock-out if it has one. ( Cancell that. I am just looking at their website to see what it is)

Interesting. Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. I am still learning about all this so any information is welcomed.

Strike Strike Strike Strike. Everyone else does it.

+1. Very fortunate his little one was not in it.

Because it is a cycle lane and not part of the road. It is not even the shoulder of the road. He is behind a barrier and had to get there some how. I wonder... if it was a normal car or a rackety old car you would not be taking the view you have. Me personally I can't see how that would be legal to be there.

That is crazy. They are posing a danger to the cyclists who use that lane. Sure if you hit him you are an idiot but that is not the point. I very much doubt that him being there is legal. He is causing an obstruction when there is no emergency. It is as it always is in this country... do what I say not what I do.

I presume that is atraffic cop doing speed trapping. Surely he is illegally parked? What a complete idiot. Very dangerous. You should send that photo to the traffic department.

Thanks for this informative post. At what heart rate do you "tap" into fat storage? I heard you need to be at a heart rate of between 55-70%. Then at roughly 50 minutes into the exercise you should start to access the fat and make it work for you. Is this correct? Once again everyone is an individual so I am taking it at average. By the way.. butternut is very good carbo loading. I eat a 500 gram packet the night before any big race, as well as the usual pasta and pizza.

Thanks. I see it is tried and tested for you. The best personal choice is the one that works for every individual. I struggle to digest food in the last 50 odd kms. Except for bananas. They always go down well for me no matter what the situation. All great advice. I am sure he is going to have a magical ride.

Hi Underachiever. Just a question and please don't take this as anything but that. Why would you need carbs till the end? Surely your body is just burning energy trying to digest it in your stomach? As I understand it it takes your body +- 2 hours to convert food into something that you can use. He is not doing a multi stage event so no need to top up his carbs. Hope the qusestion makes sence.

For the first 250 kms take on carbs. After that your body will not be able to process it in time for it to be of any use for you. Stay hydrated. Take some salt tablets with. They help with cramping. You can buy them in any pharmacy. LOTS of chamois cream. Enjoy the ride and be safe. Look forward to the post race report.

Racetec do the timing for PPA. Just go to their website and you will find out.

Do we have to be there to collect the prizes or will you post them to us? Think there were 31 in total. Does the car come with a full tank of fuel? Is the car brand new? (Please remember to put my tickets right at the top)

That is good news. Well done legal system.

:clap:

Why upgrade the frame? Get a new bike.

Agreed 100%

I don't think the show was live so it is all probably a show. None of the people who present the show want to show CSA in a bad light, so they made it look as though they were tough on him but it was a scam. Time will tell but that guy always looks dodgy to me.

Merida for me.

I wouldn't buy XTR.

Damn that's young.
