how would i monitor my energy consumption? Counting calories?

Thanks to everyone for your responses, so the just of it is that you need to eat less energy than you using. So will this teach your body to use the fat as energy on your ride instead of using sugar and carbs?

Thank you , would you elaborate more on how to tell what each zone is?

Hello everyone, I know the new thing is to now use body fat as energy instead of eating carbs for energy. I'm just wondering what are ways to burn fat while riding that have actually been tried by people and they can vouch for it working. I've heard one way is to excercise on an empty stomach. I know I can google this question but I want something that people can say it actually works. Please tell me what you do and what works for you.

True that. Some of these websites have an export to excel spreadsheet option so it's a lot faster than sitting yourself and putting the numbers in.

Thanks Yes thank you that would be great. I'm cycling after many years of taking off so I'm in the process of learning where to go on the trails. Does the entire forrest/plantation up Curries post and karkloof belong to karkloof club?

I know this is 5 years old, do we still ask you about the trails?

I know this is an old post, have you found a trail or club? You tried the karkloof club?

Thanks, I kind of meant which website do you use for the coupons? There so many fake coupons out there.

Have you tried any of them? How do they work for you? ah thank you I'll give them a try Thanks , i'm going to try that. There are a lot of stuff there that I don't understand and others that I need an external monitor for. Thanks, that's actually a really good idea especially if you not home. I had a quick look at training peaks, where do you get the coupons? I like how you can find a coach there.

thanks but i wasn't being sarcastic, i'm legit asking for help

ag no man!!! Maybe the organizers didn't get the memo. On another note i'm so happy when i still see stickers on cars showing cars passing 1.5m from the cyclist. I don't see them much anymore but they still around,

Thank you for your valued input, like my post says i'm already on strava, i'm looking for others.

I think if everyone just obeyed the rules of the road it would be fine. A lot of cyclists refuse to ride in a single file, a lot of motorists try their best to drive as close as possible to a cyclist. I think the biggest problem is cars turning right infront of a cyclist making him/her swerve not to get hit. If everyone had respect for everyone else we wouldn't have a problem.

Hi everyone, I'm looking at training apps and software to monitor your progress. I see many people use strava, GC, TP and Garmin. Are there any others i should have a look at? My goal is to see my progress as I become more fit. I have a basic gps cycling computer that syncs with strava and it shows time, speed, distance etc. Can you name some that have worked for you?
