*hijack warning* so what type of trainign do you actually do on the trainer? Just sit there for and hour and pedal or do you have an actual structurd training plan?

northcliffcycles - great special on assos gear

Have you tried their landline: +27 11 262 6512 I have had great service from them in the past but should you not be using your LBS to get the replacement frame?

It's illegal? I did not know that but what happens when a car is cruising at 30km/h on the road, essentially blocking it?

And sadly we encounter these people on the road as well - no respect for fellow citizens anymore.

The flipside to this - while living in Ireland for a few years, we stayed just outside Dublin on a very popular cycling route. With those narrow roads you often got stuck behind 2 or more cyclists taking up the road but never would you dare hooting or shouting at them. You just had to sit behind them until you found a place to over take. This even applied to the city where pedestrians & cyclists take preference! If only.....

WTF? unless it is on one of those bike parks then hell yes.

100%

Just had a look at that training program, even tried mailing the owner as I have a few questions: Firstly, what to do you mean by cross training? Push-Ups, SIt-Ups & Running/Swimming? Secondly, when you say 1h10 @ zone 2, can this be done on an Indoor Trainer? Lastly, you set specific targets for weekend rides - can this be increased as most of us typically have more time on weekends to ride?

That's a road ride

Don't know of any but would be great to get this off the ground

Anyone have more details on this, route description or profile? thnx

After doing the Fast One MTB race this past weekend and looking at the times people posted, i was wondering what training you do during the week & on weekends? Road MTB Spinning IDT and how much of each? thnx

I just got this watch for Christmas and so far so good, granted i have not tested/played with it that much yet. Only problem so far is that polarpersonaltrainer only has one type of training program t this stage.

Nice bike BTW !

- Its one of those side exit jobs from Olympic Cycles, they have a cabinet full. They are not very good over the bumpy stuff! Ah bugger, any recommendations for the bumpy stuff?

Where did you get that bottle cage on your seatpost? I am looking for one like that but can't seem to find them. thnx charl

Ah schweet, i think i know where that is now, thanks.

Where is this "DHL" along the spruit? I usually ride alone along the spruit weekday mornings from Ballyclaire towards the N1. thnx charl

Hi, I am sure there has been a list like this but I can't find it now, hence posting. What do you guys pack to carry with you during a race (MTB specifically)? I know it is dependent on the distance but trying to get an idea. Things I carry: Food/Drink 1. 2x Bottles of some drink (prefer this than a camelback & feeling like a pack donkey) 2. 2 x Energy Gels 3. 1 x Energy Bar Tools 1. Multi-Purpose tool 2. Chain Repair Tool (no idea how to use this) 3. Tyre plugs (running tubeless) 4. Tyre Bomb 5. Tyre Levers Anything Else?
