You can try xcosa, it is my event. Our aim is to expose people to the fun of lap racing, so we start with a relatively easy route and gradually increase the technical standard. Our website is xcosa.biz

It could also be cause and or be worsened by inadequate foot support. Remember our lower extremities are not really designed for cycling, but for efficient walking/ running. So the correct shoes with adequate support is essential. But cleat position, saddle height and the amount of flex in your shoes (the stiffer, the better) can also be factors in causing more discomfort. Have a look HERE, but you are more than welcome just to come in and have a chat with me.

Hi lerouc Yes it is called hotspots, but it is not caused by saddle height at all. What causes the problem is your longitudinal arch of your foot elongating in the shoe. This is completely normal as it is part of the normal walking/ running action. Now most of your feet's nerves and arteries runs through your tarsal and metatarsals (foot bones), but the problem is with cycling is that your feet are static in the shoe. Now with this elongation it cuts off blood supply and irritates the nerves. That is what causes hotfoot. How to solve the problem...First you need to make sure your shoes are the correct size and not too tight fitting, secondly you need to get to a Specialized dealer and speak to a Bodygeometry Fit Technician. They will definitely be able to assist you. What the do is analyse your specific foot structure and from that the recommend the correct foot support. The foot support helps your feet to relax in your shoes, promotes blood flow and also relieves pressure off your nerves running through your feet and therefore preventing hotfoot completely.

I use the old Pretoria road all the way to Corlett. The first 2km is a bit dodge, but haven't had anything that made me uneasy, and the best p[art is just after Midrand (in your case) there is a realy awsome jeeptrack on the far lefthand side.

I work in Melrose Arch, recently started commuting from Centurion to work. Good training 36km with 700m ascent, coming back is downhill though.

No I wasn't I was trained in SA by Tigran Korkotyan, he is a EMEA SBCU Professor. He come from Morgan Hill though.

Good question! I was trained by Specialized (SBCU/ Specialized Bicycle Component University) together with the Boulder Institute For Sport Medicine. The lead researcher is Dr. Andy Pruitt and I'm one of only a few qualified BG FIT Technicians in the country. I do not work with Mark Williams, I work from my own facility and I can come to you, at your convenience.

Looks decent, just a few questions. Where did he get trained and where did he study to be able to set you up, is it based on certain scientific setup protocol, just rule of thumb or his personal view of how things should be? I'm not saying anything bad about him and I'm sure he is really good at what he does, but is it the BEST? That is my concern. Ergo fit is really good if you are an average human being... I say again the BEST setup is the one that is based on you specific biometric data and then customized to your current state of fitness and level of riding. So yes it should be Dynamic (well done ERGOFIT) but Its not dynamic or biometric data on it's own that makes the difference, it's the combination of everything and how the Technician interprets and implements that data for you.
