  1. Just watched it online. well the last 8km, we are in for a great Vuelta!
  2. I would rather go ralph front and rear. IMO better tyre than the Ron.
  3. I wonder why he didnt try to keep his watts constant? Especially due to the nature of the TT.
  4. Same here, and still a little bruised down there from baviaans
  5. TSS 520 IF 0.763 Easy but good week.
  6. Thats some serious watts there. man. that 5min power is insane.
  7. Pity Horner is out, another GC rider would've been great for the race.
  8. RIP
  9. I wont be first for long. lotsa MTN riders in Cookiejar
  10. Weather prediction in East London this weekend, 50km/h+ winds, its gonna be good training I guess.
  11. Digital EPO, you load your GXP file on there, add 10% or what ever percentage you like to your said ride, download the ride again as GXP and upload it to Strava and boom, all of a sudden your ride is 10% better. Do that to a few rides and you're in the world cup. Logging miles riding in a car will also attract calories burned. strava calculates its own calories. so no need for a HRM. Someone can also manipulate their weight on strava and or GPS device and this will also increase the calories. So ja, big loophole here. Good luck to the guys not "digital" doping, Dopers always win.
  12. Just Made my pics and now I see Froome had a crash again.
  13. Theres lotsa ways to rig this, but I will be honest and say I will be on my bike, this is a good way of getting some base miles under the belt.
  14. Thanks guys, Ride time was 1h23m, must say when I did pedal, normally at the front I tried to keep it at FTP and on inclines just over and if I wasnt riding at the front, I coasted(not pedaling). FTP test was done 3 weeks ago. Not too keen on dying again this weekend, as this year was quite tough training with injury through winter for Baviaans and want to enjoy "riding" a again.
  15. Hi Chaps, One for the more experienced power users: This morning I rode with the "slower" bunch, NP higher than AVG power by 68w, however my IF for the ride still being quite high at 0.898. Almost felt that I haven't broken a sweat on the ride. This was an in town ride, so I'd say the reason for the big difference are from the stop start. Is my IF over stated and how do I correct this?
  16. What he said
  17. Spez seattube measure = 52cm, top tube 53.5cm Spez seattube measure = 50cm, top tube 52cm. Make sure before you buy, My Tarmac is one size to beeeeg because the bike shop didnt take into consideration that the toptube was sloping.
  18. Humour definitely left me at CP7, had a small slip on the railway track but nothing serious. Almost went over the side going down MAC, that happens if you look at the line of your partner infront of you and not focusing on your own.
  19. I want to put the new quick step bike colours on my 2011 tarmac, does that make me a fraud? So do whatever it takes, so you love your bike more, which leads to riding it more.
  20. For the same reason Victor Mattfield is in the springbok team. Experience
  21. and you are still awake, well done.
