Managed to finish Smallville a while ago, then finished Game of Thrones (season 1) last week - really enjoyed it and will get season 2 ASAP... Also rate Suits and Dexter currently. Old favourites must be Top Gear, Friends, My name is Earl, Boston Legal & Big Bang Theory

What did you pay?

Was there the past weekend and saw 2 policemen on bikes patrolling...

Thanks for your input! I have given a lot of thought about it and will propably revert more to a Paleo type setup. I will definately not go to sugars etc, but am thinking of picking up carbs to higher levels (around what you are doing). I race around once a month or so. I tend to do 2 high intensity trainings in the week and 2 lower intensity ones (all on water). I will continue experimenting and keep you up to date with my new findings. Also looking forward to seeing how much low GI carbs I can have daily and still be in Ketosis...

Good to hear I'm not the only one struggling... The thing is, I KNOW my fitness is at least 15-20 min faster than I am doing currently. I don't suffer, just don't have any "Oomph"

Actually had various reasons... I enjoy experimenting and wanted to see how it works. The pinion that it improved health, wanting to lose a couple of kgs, improve cycle performance and Tim Nokes promoting it all played a role. Wrt the protein, I use Evox whey. It is a bit expensive, but one gets a lot of servings out of one

Thanks for the feedback - yip, I am really frustrated... I seriously don't know if I want to continue with it. I understand the time thing, but really don't know if I can continue like this for another 4 months... Considering moving back to low gi carbs. I am putting in all the hrs and effort with the diet and training and I have actually gone backwards. The one thing that I however still don't understand is that in the week I don't really struggle to up the intensity, only seems to affect me on race days?

Ok guys - I am on the border to quit LCHF.... Because of the previous thread being lost, I go through everything - sorry if it is long... I have been eating healthy as long as I can remember, but use to be low fat, medium carb & high protein. Decided to try LCHF and Ive been on it for about 2 and a half months. Using fat shakes and eating all the other natural options. I have the Ketostix and measure a deep purple 99% of the time. In general I like the diet and really feel good on it. No mid afternoon slumps or tiredness... I have also lost a lot of fat (but no weight)... Now for the catch......: I cannot cycle on the diet. I know I need to get fully adapted, but I do not know if I can struggle any further. Did the Clarens Marathon earlier the year and just couldn't get going. FInished quite strong (after taking a gel) but in general couldn't get the intensity up. Tried hard and HR was in general very high but struggled most of the day. I however decided to stick it through and hope for an improvement... Did the Hazeldean marathon yesterday (even though I had some FutureLife ahead of time to try and feel better). I ended up struggling even more. HR was high again but had no power and couldn't get going. Even after 2 gels... Ended up with a really bad time and beaten by my friends( I usually beat by 15-20 min...). So after getting depressed about it I decided: I am going to let myself go I have a bit of a cheat day. Had 3 beers, mashed potatoes for supper as well as 2 buns... Decided to go for a quick ride through Groenkloof this morning - had a muffin and cup of coffee (with 1 sugar) beforehand and felt uber strong on the bike. All the weakness was gone and really had the power back. The same friends were with again and I could really see how my performance increased. So I am frustrated and do not know what to do. Return to medium carbs, fat and protein / continue with LCHF / continue with LCHF but "carb up" the day before a race / try to adjust carbs a bit higher and keep to high fat.... I REALLY DONT KNOW!!! ADVISE PLZ...

Yip, seems so. Its a real pity. Loads of good advise, experiences and comments there...

If you want something (less potent) more natural try taking CLA with meals...

This is the most patheticaly organized event I have ever done. Why the hell would you let everyone wait till the kids are done before they may get their bikes. Everyone out at once is a nightmare, after sitting around for 2 hrs and waiting to get your bike.

Cool idea. Mtb as well as road?

Hi guys, if anyone is interested in riding for a good cause!... Cyclist Flyer - pdf.pdf

Baberton ultra...

That sucks - just out of interest, what car was it?

I see its available from CRC... (only in stock end of the month)

Looks very good... Available in SA yet?

Thanks 4 the trouble.... Looks really good! Will take it in today and see if they can fit me one...

Thx for the advise! Will it fit with my BB shell? For now going for a suspension - will look at a rigid later on.... Unfortunately I dont know him....... (unless hes the guy that was looking for riding partners at the game reserve a while ago....)

Yes - I do, but building a SS so pref looking for a SS specific one

No cranks, I have ONLY the frame.....

Yip - spot on!

Going to measure it.......

Will give it a try... I think its a 2006 Gary Fisher Ziggurat - http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2006&Brand=Gary+Fisher&Model=Ziggurat&Type=bike It states a Truvative GXP (no BB shell width - guess I can measure this....)
