Reden

Huisgenoot, wat is dit?

Am I missing something here? The Col du Tourmalet was ridden on the 20th. Today it's Col de Marie-Blanque, Col du Soulor and the finnish on Bareges. At least according to Bicycling's TDF guide booklet.

Ditto!

Are these compression pants worth while or are they just a fashion that will pass.

39???

It's next to the sea. Can't you sea it!!! You should be banned for life for posting these pics.

mmm, Flu? Still congested? Is your whole body also sore? A lot of people confuses a common cold with flu. The difference could only be a couple of days quicker recovery. If congested only, one could ride very lightly for short periods. If throat is sore, body aching abd very congested, dont even look at your bike. You will literally kill yourself. Not now but possible in 10 to 15 years time. Your heart is working very hard in keeping your body going. To excersise in this condition could cause heart failure and kill you. Bottom line. Don't do anything untill you feel 100% healed.

Don't the referee somtimes turn a blind eye to something. Like drafting behind a car after some problem or a spectator pushing a rider (after a problem). Seems that there's lots of people here ot getting it.

It's a TDF thing. Either you get it or you don't. Got nothing to do with MTB'ing or cycling anywhere else.

Spelling on purpose?

Starting to ride after some three years off the bike. How much base miles must one do before getting into interval/high intensity training? Also training for the 94.7 both MTB and road events. The year before I stopepd I rode both. Can't remember the MTB time but road was 3h20. This time the MTB will be taken slower as I cramped a lot with the road race.

At 40 years old my MHR was 193bpm and that was seen going up Kyalami's mine shaft. Upper body didn't go numb but breathing could not go faster and the pain was too much.

Contador, never liked him and never will. He knew what he was doing. Hilnaut - Good with Panache Indurain - Good with Panache Lemond - Good with no Panache Armstrong - The best(was), no Panache but did show respect and sportmanship to Ulrich. Was this not also chain problems? Ulrich - No Panache but showed the same to Armstrong when he fell. Contador - Well, to me he's just a *&%$#$%#%(Don't like him) Andy - Go for it!!!

I have done this and it's true. Worked as mechanic at cycle shop while studying. rode there in the mornings at reasonable pace but in the afternoons it was downhill and rode very hard too keep up with traffic. My lungs burned like hell but was very fit in no time. From being dropped on the hills I was in the final sprint at club races. Then I stopped cycling!!

I also use a Tacx IDT with my MTB and cheap rear wheel. Warm up for 7 minutes, do various disciplines for 30minutes and cool down for another 7 minutes. I do sometimes watch movies on the pc but have to keep a eye on the HR and cadence. Once watche a stage of TDF on tv while riding on rollers. They went through a corner and so did I. Steered straight again just in time before going off the "cliff". Never did it again.

Do they come in Blue? Will suit my bike just fine. How does the race vesion look like?

Ksyrium it should be.

Busy upgrading my road bike. (Tommasini) It's price against weight. Both Mavic wheels. Training - Aksium, cheap but heavy. Race - Cerium Elite - Light but expensive. Would the Cerium's be viable for training too and would the Aksium's be ok for racing. I'm not a front contender but would like something fancy on my bike too.

Golf for Dummies. Hit the crap out of a little white ball and take some of the planet with. Walk 20meters. Do the hitting part again. Now do this 10 times before you get to the fancy flat (expensive)piece of lawn. In the end you still win a prise for playing the most golf. A toilet brush to get your arse in order and bottle of Brandy to down your sorrows. Cycling much better not matter how much it costs.

Yes, the big sponcered events are getting expensive but there are still some cheaper ones. Just have a look at the club type cross country events that are held at Groenkloof regularly and there are not that many entrants too.
