Thanks M, this worked like a charm on my 4 hr ride this am. The only change was my recovery meal was a toasted bacon & egg sarmie - tastes better than a soya isolate (whatever that is?) I would say!!
[quote name= why don't more people on thehub use Google? How often are there "whats the difference between xt and xtr?", "what is the right size bike for my girlfriend" and "how much does an ultegra set of wheels weigh" style questions? C'mon people the info is available at the click of a few buttons... What is the purpose of belonging to a forum then and interacting with funny different people like yourself who like to rant? Google is too impersonal.
Bad luck but I am sure the seller meant well. I have had nothing but great buys on this forum and my latest acquisition, a Pinnerelo Paris, bought site unseen from Spinnekop, is everything I could ask for
I live in PMB and to travel 200km for a paper number is ludicrous!! The only registration worth its salt is Argus. Ama and Tour Durban should just post your number. At least Ama did not give us 6 month old mags to try and "fill" the bag!!
I took up cycling very late in life and I quickly learnt that, generally, the better the rider the more arrogant and self centred they are. Those Standard Bank riders were VERY good riders and the Mr Price riders from Durban are EXTREMELY good riders. I just accept it and it does not worry me as I am bigger than 99% of these VERY GOOD riders and can give more than what I get!!
Cyclosport licences stay the same at R75 but we are being ripped off for Race Licences. The cost has risen from R300 last year to R350 PLUS R75 = R425. this is a 42% increase. How do they justify this ENORMOUS increase? Pure arrogance.
Very sad, condolences to the family. The announcer said her name was Olive. There were 2 marshalls and a traffic cop at this intersection and half the road was closed off with highly visible cones. It appears this motorist was not licenced and I surmise she panicked when the cop waved her down.
You will have to go some to beat the original "..ROCKS big time" thread. Start one such as "I confess that I, like Conty, also took a prohibited substance when................." Good luck!!
That does not make sense as if you start using coke or GU or whatever high GI then you just keep using it and you will get a boost. I think the cramp was all in your mind I tried 32 on a 3 hour ride yesterday and took it like MDW prescribed with a GU in the last hour - it worked very well indeed!!
Thanks Mark - I will give it a go. So no pre-loading with 32 is required? Squash. I play league squash and drink coke (!) between games. Do u think 32 is better? Weight Loss Would drinking 32 during the day instead of tea and coffee contribute to increased weight loss. I am battling to lose wt and am prepared to clutch at any straws!!
I have been reading a few threads on this subject but there is so many conflicting views and ways of using it that I am confused. I usually ride with Cytomax and GU's. I decided to try G32 with GU and had an uneventful ride as it was not too hard or long but I would not say that either product was better than the other. I then read that you don't use GU with 32!! I tried this and I felt very flat throughout the ride. I also read that you only take GU the last hour with 32. I tried this and nothing kicked in!! Yesterday I went back to Cyto and GU and felt great throughout the 3 hour ride!! In mitigation, when I used 32 I also had Future Life as a pre-ride meal whereas when I use Cyto -I use my tried and tested Low GI toast with Peanut butter and honey. It appears obvious that Cyto is the way to go for me but I am always willing to try new things and perhaps if I used 32 in the right way it could be of greater benefit to me?
