Did any one hear about the shooting late yesterday afternoon on the Spes Bona road?!!

I like your thinking TCR Carbon! knippie2009-05-28 08:21:58

Sorry, my mistake! I got the "I want my medal" in the wrong spot And it doesn't show on the poll! My thought is to give medals to beginner distances like 10-20km races and try and get something of more worth to the first 100 finishers of the other distances. Like a t-shirt of good quality material.

What is your opinion on Medals at fun rides? They cost between R10 and R20 per medal(depending on the amount made) and get dumped in a box somewhere in the garage a week after the event. Is there a way that event organisers can come up with something that is a better spend of money to give to finishers of funrides? Give me your ideas!knippie2009-05-28 08:14:48

we're seriously thinking of joining you this evening. will give you a call a little later.

Glad somebody has received theirs! Have almost forgotten that i put an order in

That is unfortunately true. We returned a S725 at the beginning of the year to the shop we bought it from and they filled in the forms and did the couriering. It was quick and the watch was repaired, the courier cost was R50 if I remember correctly. The job is only done in Jhb.

.....where is Groenkloof?

Wow that's an achievement!!!

You must have lots of expierence.......?

Well, I'm a coach. I work for BikeMaxPower. Have a look on the internet. www.bikemaxpower.com

At last my head is right for training and have been doing 11hrs a week. Started with 100km then 120km want to do 150km this weekend. 2007 I was the fittest I've ever been and my partner and I came in 2nd of the ladies. This year I'm still looking for a partner as my partner did the Epic and is wasted for the next 4 months at least. Will have to train hard the next 2 months to at least be fit enough.

You talking to "you folks here" who are you reffering to?

Will keep in mind and let you know tomorrow about ride, definately not going out in this terrible weather.

Sounds good. Can we ask that all who are interested in one of these rides just say "Ay!" and each of us can make a list of the others and notify each other of our planned rides?

Vandag!!!?? in die wind??!! Wow jy's dedicated. Gaan maar my idt gebruik en intervals doen. Good luck!

Ek ry loops in Majik Forest, een loop vat my 20 min ek doen 4 as ek met die fiets soontoe gery het anders ry ek 6. Majik is gelukkig redelik veilig, dink ek. Was ook eendag daar waar daar 2 ouens was met 'n hokkie stok. Is maar altyd versigtig veral vir die onderste deel van die single track.

I usually ride Tuesday to Thursday on that road for 2hours. Otherwise 2hours in Majik Forest on Thursday's. I go in the afternoon's. Would be great if we can start a group, I have a road bike I can use for these rides if necessary.

Perpeteum, a product from Hammer. Works like a charm, you make it like pancake dough and sip some every 15min. Has the necessary carbs and proteins, keeps the hunger away as well. You get a small dispenser with it and slip it into your back pocket. Less to carry with.

Who out there is training for the Trans Baviaans and how's the training going?

Now your talking! Toy for fun!

Worst 4 x 4 x Far! keep it on the tar and you should be fine

Heart rate is affected by so many things. What was your training like the week and weeks before the race? You might have had high training stress on your body, this would give you a low hr. Yes hr changes with age, fitness level, emotional or work stress etc etc. The best way to determine your Functional HR (that is not your max) but about 95% to even 105% of your max, would be to take the average of your last race or two. How long ago was your previous race?
