My favourite is not on the list. Enervitene Sports Gel (by Enervit). Lemon flavour is the best. Cola is also nice. If you are about to bonk or just feel totaly dead try Enervit's Cheerpack (http://www.bicycling.com/article/1,6610,s1-4-21-15274-1,00.html) Expensive, ridiculously sweet, but it works like a charm.
The photo may have been posted before. i really don't know. Waht I do know is that after having studied the photo for a while it look like the guy's entire fork + bars broke loose at the head tube... I wonder If he was still braking when he had a continental sandwich...
Alle van die beste Bernard. Hoop jy herstel sommer gou. Ek het nie veel om uit te deel nie, maar so bietjie het jou kant toe gegaan. hoop dit help met die kostes.
Okay, I claim dibs. The line can now disband. Cyclenut, I'll be in contact. Rhodent, the resistance is smooth, flat road. As I said though, you can still get your heart rate up quite nicely. You just have to go fast. My top speed on rollers (for a brief few seconds) is 93km/h. It helps that there is no wind resitance
Cyclenut, let me speak to the missus tonight. I'll let you know. Madmarc, the rollers are not mine to give away. I have been borrowing them for the past um.... 3 years now I'll have to cinsult with the owner. These are vintage rollers. I believe they may hev come off the Ark Rhodent, rollers are a bit of a different kettle of fish. You can't control resistance like on an normal indoor trainer. You basically have to gear up and down the bike. So you aren't going to do any climbing drills. BUTT It does help with your pedal action and you can do interval training. It's also not that difficult to get used to. People get put off by the "balancing" thing. really you are only riding the bike as you normally do, you're just not going anywhere and you would be advised not to swerve It took me 25 minutes to get the hang of it. Practise in a doorway or next to a wall so you have something to stabalise yourself against in the beginning.
Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the drums of a roller. I don't know what make the roller is. The drum diameter is 111mm. The drums have warped with age so it's a bit like riding cobbles I should probably just get an entirely new roller-trainer but If I can replace the drums I have for less I'd rather do that. Hey, it might happen!
HIJAAAAAACK!!! okay no. not really. Be carefull about just jumping into core muscle excersizes. Start easy. I joined in a ab strengthening class after a spinning class last week tuesday and not only did I discover that I have no core muscles, but I causes me some lower back ache. PS: You're not strecthing to reach your handlebars are you?
Sing with me now: George, George, George of the jungle watch out for that tree! It's a good thing he was wearing all that kit, but seriously though: It doesn't look that technical. Going down the steps at the Design Quarters in Fourways JHB, now that is technical
It's all relative. If your uncle or brother... okay wrong type of relative Fit is a beast of many ... smaller beasties? Yes there is the physical side with it's resting heart rate and lactate thresholds etc. Then there is the mental side. I recall a story of a little train that thought he could... Really it's a moving target and as expressed before you'll always compare yourself to those stronger (and more talented perhaps) than you. The biggest Fit problem these days is being able to buy a pair of pants that fit properly.
Ja, the ID thing was the distract I think. I reported the incident to a less than enthusiastic Rosebank police. I was basically told that I have no hope. We wanted to view the bank's cctv footage, but was told that it's not allowed due to privacy and security. FNB said to open a case at the police as they have to request a viewing of said footage. It get's better though. I discovered that I still had the piece of paper that the guy gave me to writ emy ID number on. It is a bank deposit receipt for a deposit made at Balfour Park FNB with the title, name and surname of the recipiant and a reference noted as SAM.... I'm thinking that this might link this Samual chap to the person who received the deposit and also provides another source of footage as this was an over the counter deposit... The police still did'nt sound too enthusiastic. Apparently they have to apply to the magistrate's court to be able to view the CCTV footage and the inspector working on my case said that they might not grant permission. With regards to a trap. I was thinking the same thing. But I think that maybe it's a bad idea since I have all this supressed rage. Things might just get ugly.
I had a really ka.... horrible thing happen to me yesterday and sharing the experience of this, I think, will hopefully stop this happening to someone else in future. I had a cellphone that I put up for sale in the Junkmail. (I would advertised it here, but I'm one of those hubbers of the opinion that the hub is for cycling stuff). Sure enough I received some responses and so arranged to meet up with some guy that called himself Samual. We were to meet at the Rosebank FNB at 12:30 on Thursday 26 June. So I show up with the phone. Virtually brand new and still in it's original box (The cables and things have'nt even been unpacked). Sure enough Samual shows up (17 minutes late) and suggest we conduct our business inside the bank. So we go in and I show him the phone wich he opens up and looks at etc. Seemingly satisfied he askes me to write down my ID number on a piece of paper. This is when I suspect he swapped the phone with a fake handset and packs everything back into the box (I even help without noticing). He then tells me that he is just short of R500 and he's just going to go and draw the money quiclky. And so he's off. As he leaves the door I get a feeling that something's not right. So I open the box and discover that the phone had been swapped. Needless to say Samual is long gone and I'm out of pocket. I have been beating myself up for how stupid I was for letting this happen to me, but this guy new exactly what he was doing. My advice. If ever you end up selling a phone just be carefull and visually ensure that you have what you think you have before letting the buyer out of site. Those upgrades to my bike will have to wait...
The photos have been loaded. You will need to register then log on to view them. Also, there is no search facility, so make some coffee and warm up that mouse finger of yours... Unfortunately I could not find the photo I was after (and I looked through all of the images). Maybe they will be uploading more later.
