The whole Road to tthe Sky. From where you start. Didnt do the down section.

Did the Road to the Sky yesterday. Managed to complete it in 1:27:00

Not taking any of those so all good.

I don't have the pain when i urinate but do still have some lower back pain which could be completely unrelated.

So I was racing J2C this last week. Woke up on day 6 with a severe pain in my back and wanted to pee every 5min. When I did pee it burnt. Then on day 7 I was riding but every tuft of grass hurt like hell. Decided to ask a medic what y symptoms could be and he said possible kidney infection. Prescribed Citra Soda which I have been drinking 2x a day. Doc said I possibly had small crystals that needed to be flushed out. Is it possible that the increase in sugar consumption could have caused something? I did change my drink to Biogen before the race as I had used out before. I found that my current drink was giving me serious heart burn hence the change. Now I am hydrating more regularly but feel that the water just goes straight through me. Is it likely I I had kidney stones albeit small ones?

This time next week and we will be either freezing our asses off or boiling in the heat.

Will be my first but my partner has done it before. Cant wait.

I have been trying to understand the purpose of these other than when you stand and climb?

that too.

There are B lines as well for those not so confident in their technical abilities.

Wishing you all the best!

so true. I have an 8 year old boy and 3 girls 22,15,15. Girls are a handful!!! For moms I think it is different type of bond than what dads have.

I will be there, bleeding through my eyes, but i will be there!

Again as per my comment on HAyleys message. I need to get funds into my NZ account while i am in SA

hi Hayley PLease speak to me. I am still paying off my car in NZ so would be happy to work something out.

following. Doing the training on the 11th

i have this setup but for some reason i don't get the points on vitality

They have an ftp test you can do in the workouts section. Did mine last night. Big improvement from 8 weeks ago

Part of me wants too. But i must be honest the family have been better since we have been back.

Fire away. I was a PM there.

Hey Dips I sold up house and cars but took furniture with. I did a few recce trips before moving the whole family over. I went over in March and Family came over in April. NZ is a beautiful country and were it not for the personal/family issues i would have probably stayed. You do look at things differently when you are back. You realize that we are not as backward as we think we are. In fact some things we do better than first world countries. Then again we are more barbaric in other ways. Little Crime and they way people drive here is probably what i miss most about NZ. The biggest thing i took out of the experience is how i react to people. You realize that the car guard is not there trying to ruin your day. He is trying to provide for his family because he is probably unable to get work with a decent pay.

Also it is extremely expensive!

moving to another country is not for sissies. Especially if you have no support structure around you. Also i have step kids with made it harder.

I came back so i have made up for one of those that is leaving!
