  4. Hallo Mamil, I am keen to join and am at that level, I think ...
  5. Take the one that is least used
  6. The rest of the world have watches, here in Africa we have time
  7. The packing list states that you require a minus 8 degree rated sleeping bag. Did it get that cold in previous years?
  8. 7 Weeks to go! Its very quite on the hub wrt Joberg2C, you guys out training?

  10. Any pricing yet for Joberg2C in April? Transport to JHB Transport from Scottburgh
  11. Isuzu 3 Towers in October near Nelspruit/Sabie, it allows for 3 different distances. Even if you are not a climber, the shorter ones is very doable. The vibe is probably the best.
  12. Agreed, these two toned Scott's is as bland as a Tata

  14. Food at the checkpoints is fine. My 2c will be to have dry kit in your boxes, it gets cold and sweat drenched kit does not help after you cooled down a bit after a stop at the checkpoints.
  15. I am next to Lurch on the left - F.A.C.T shirt. Great experience overall and a PB for me as well at 3:07. Rode with various I-teamsters, starting with Werner&co and finishing with Dom. @Werner - respect with the single speed. The climbs was the Achilles heel for staying together IMHO. I need to change a couple of things during preparation though - will focus more on threshold / sustainable power. Great initiative and I hope to contribute more in 2016.
  16. Hallo All, Only came across this brilliant initiative today. Tombeej please add Dirt De Vil and Diggers to the train. Thanks Cheers
  17. Carbs - yes (natural - fructose, glucose, sucrose) Sugar - no (all the unnatural stuff)
  18. Sit on a indoor trainer, it will allow for less movement of your upper body and keep the pain and loss of fitness to a minimum. Flush the meds down the toilet.
  19. I am 1.82 @ 88kgs and no fibrillation. So I guess all is fine
  20. Not worried about the typical HRmax formula. Did a lactate threshold test in 2009 that indicated my max nearer to 197. Just needed to know if it is something I needed to have checked. Please do pm me the contact details. Thanks
  21. Hallo All, I am a 37 yr old male mtb'er and fitness is above average compared to average cyclist. During races it is possible for me to maintain an average heart rate of 185bpm plus for up to 4 hours in duration. Am I damaging my heart and do I need to go see a doctor regarding this? I do not have any symptoms and recovery after the race is normal in that it will take a couple of minutes for my HR to fall to 115bpm and lower. This has been 'normal' for me for almost a decade now. Anyone had some experience with similar and know about a sports doctor that at least know the differences in Stress ECG/Fitness Assessments of active vs sedentary. Regards,
