  1. I don't agree. It also increase if one (I for sure) is more stressed - and not referring to riding effort. I can feel my heart rate goes up when I am on the lowers, more so around other people and it is because I am not use to it and I feel twitchy and hence get stressed. It has gotten better over the last couple of months for sure with more time spent down there, but it is still there.
  2. Do you think one will get banned even before a race if you pitch up in some of these....I think there are some dopers folks can 'proudly' wear them
  3. I need the pizza one!
  4. So are all the hubbers in NZ planning a weeks riding trip to Queenstown in December?

  6. Oh ja, I did an online application. They don't always need to submit your passport, sometimes one gets submitted a separate page (seems like this is the norm with online applications) which you just carry with your passport then (Patches has one like this)

  8. Joh, I already spend too much time in front of my sock bag in the morning to pick a pair before I go ride...all those will give me endless options (I'd like them though )
  9. Did you send them your passport? If so, when did they request that?
  10. I have never raced (or trained) in a team, so maybe the pro's here can give some comments on my thoughts below so I can know for the future.... So I was thinking during my long ride this past weekend (which I actually struggled with more than the Maluti route...due to poor week day training for sure) that if I was racing in a team that I would let the 'weaker riders' do all the work for the 1st 126km, protecting maybe 3 or 4 of the strongest riders. I would let them hide in the bunch all the way, saving all their energy up until the team gets into the Golden Gate (maybe even a bit further in). That is where a team will need 'fresh legs' to keep the average speed up. The team is big enough so the riders that did work would not be TOO tired to fall in behind these guys pace now. Is/would this be typically something teams will do?
  11. Unfortunately I have to wear a compression shock on my one leg (medical conditions) so it leaves me with this 'even worse' tan...
  12. Ah thanks. It was spent doing nothing other than NZ moving planning (packing and packing lists etc) I like this... https://at.govt.nz/cycling-walking/auckland-cycle-run-walkway-maps/
  13. I get worried when I see things like this: Online e-Visa Application Received: Hayley Adamson That is not my name I hope they get it right when they issue the Visa (I double checked now and on the system they have the right/full name) I once was almost not allowed to board a plane because they name on my ID and the name on the ticket was not the same, on the ticket it was missing the "-" between the Hayley and Ann.....and it was actually their ticket system that didn't allow other characters than alphabetic ones.
  14. At 1st I was like "damn this guy rides a lot"... Then I looked at the side by side comparison ... Thanks for sharing. I'll spy a bit
  15. It does look nice and hillllllly out there..haha I was just scoping to see for like a 40km before work morning rides loop.
  16. I hope you havent voted for that 30km/h ...... I will never be able to visit! The NZ pigs got me last time already and posted me a pic of myself with demands of having some of my Rands...I think I will have to stick to my bike more than a car over there
  17. Beautiful Uni! Really makes me hate sitting at work today and not being outside riding,
  18. I received my police clearance this afternoon. Online visa application is submitted
  19. Do you ride road too? How is that Whitford Road to ride? I see on google earth it doesn't have shoulder and is obviously quite bendy..
  20. Yip. When good opportunities comes knocking, one does not chase them away edit: inserted not..haha
  21. I better get my visa, I have already resigned from my current job
  22. And then some of us have employment already but no visa yet (well no police clearance even yet)
  23. Is has been there since January That's how we got it.. https://www.strava.com/segments/11304411
  24. Edit: Golden gate Lichtens pass, Clarens
  25. For everyone asking for this (pm's too)...here is a hint for the future...If you go under "segment search" you can find what ever your heart desires It kind works like Google, type in like "Maluti" or something like that and you will find anything/everything people has ever posted about it ... But for the lazy few of you....here, you can have my mates one (I hope he is okay with this... ) https://www.strava.com/activities/533353111
