Let's Ride

11.2 cm's for me. Went for a bike fit so it's all how it should be.

So far it hasn't. Last year we went to PE instead of turning left and then out towards PE.

Give me a double century over any full marathon.

To tight a helmet. Honestly my specialized prevail helmet really helped. Worth every penny I paid. Last helmet was a cheapy and it sucked. And make sure it's big enough.

For me a 5km run is like a 100km cycle. Maybe more like a 130km cycle. And I do run to improve my cycling but it kills me. Legs sore the next day etc. With cycling you get to rest while with running you don't. But I will always be a cyclist as to much running is bad for your joint's.

Oh trust me I did.

Tour de Oudtshoorn (Argus seeding event). Don't waste your cash traveling there. I did it last year. The seeded group was very small and I came second in the seeded groups with little training. If I were to do it I would insist on starting in the front bunch/vets/subvets etc. Very small field. Nice race if you need to try increase your seeding but that is all. Knysna race always goes to Plett even though they always say they will change it back so I would be dubious - If it goes to Plett it's a darn difficult race. Hill after hill. No flat sections. I rate it's more difficult than the argus. It's also no longer a seeding race for the Argus (well at least 2011 wasn't).

Your nuts maybe?

Use a proper drink and ditch the gu gels. You only need a certain amount of carbs per hour and taking the gel and the drink are a waste. I only use gu gels when I have run out of drink and a riding partner gives me one etc. And them falling out of your pocket ha I don't think they ever put in in their pocket in the first place.

Agreed. Would make it much more pleasant.

Details??? Including skewers etc?

C group went so slowly as we kept on stopping on the m3. Probably some idiots swerving and everybody must them stop. Looked at my speed and we weren't going fast. Groups were to big and there was no chance you could move up to try get past the mayhem of people. The group stopped at least 3 times before Newlands Forest. Too big a groups and most people taking huge risks (cutting you off, nearly hitting your wheel etc). After all it's the only race that non cyclists care about so people will risk it all in order to tell their friends they got x time. I took it easy and didn't take any risks. Coming in at 3 hours or 3 10 wont secure me a sponsorship so rather have a chilled ride and come home in one piece.

Read what you typed!

HELLO?

WHERE ARE ALL THE WHEEL SUCKERS??? FRAIL???

Look on race tech at last years event. Click on an a group rider and it give his/her position out of X in the group.

I have some USN enduro carb drink and cyto max hp stuff. Both about half full. You can take both for 80 rand. They haven't expired. I'm close to you but no longer use the USN products. Didn't work for me.

Don't take cash with!

The matts aren't on the site in case people try cheat.

Put the stand on some bricks etc.

Why train on a light wheel. Race on it and train on a heavy wheel. Helps.
