  2. Anybody know the sweetener Sorbitol (Glycitol). I see its in the nuun hydration drink. Good or bad is the question?
  3. picked her up yesterday, need to do some bonding this weekend!!
  4. pick a line, start slow and momentum will assist with the faceplant down below
  5. Out on a early morning winter ride about 10km from home. I was still relaxing at the back of the group when my stomach got into the rhythm of things, and gave a big turn. So as you do, I got out of the saddle and let the big morning fart rip..... immediately I was faced with a the question. Was this really just a lekke fart or did I ACTUALLY just sh%t myself. So, am I just sweating a bit more than usual this morning.... with the temperature round 2-3 degrees, it made it difficult to decide. So I put my ass back onto the saddle and very quickly realised that I needed to excuse myself from the rest of the ride. Being a newby to group made it easy never to return.......
  6. Hi I’m eager to take up swimming again and spoke to Wendy Albertyn and she is willing to do a class. The thought is to do a class once a week and focus on technique and take it from there. PM if interested, to work out the details.
  7. Did a very hard mtb ride this morning, took my feelings out on every hill!! But I did transfer my roadbike savings into my bond.
  8. Dislocated my shoulder 10 years ago in a rugby game. Took my rehab seriously, had a op couple of months later. Did the rehab again. Went well for about 2 years. Got drunk and fell of a jumping castle. ( don’t ask) . And since then it’s a mess. Dislocated it a couple of months ago in my sleep. Believe me that’s not fun. 3am in the morning nothings funny. I couldn`t get it back myself. So of the emergence room. I got back for a little doss before work at least If this is your 1st dislocation take it seriously and get the necessary help. And get it fixed. When I reinjured my shoulder I didn`t feel like going through the hassles again and know I have problem. The op I need know is a big op and I will lose some of the movement above my head.
  9. I`m doing a bit of research on buying `n indoor trainer. I`ve been told that you can fit a 29er on a Tacx genius trainer if you change the back to a road wheel. Anyone done this? Can it be done? Thanks
  10. I haven't done any of the race this year. Got I free entry and was bored so I did the race. Stood for 20min on the last single track. Got the reminder way I don't do these races anymore
  11. Found Pam Reynecke on the web, will give her call and get back to you. I`m also keen to do a course http://www.libraswim.co.za/
  12. None of my friends can do it next year so I`m seriously considering it
  13. With no sand and the switchbacks everybody would complaint about the boredom of the race. The route was made challenging with the elements available. Basic maths would have told you after the first lap that you are in for a bit more that the 80km Everybody looked at the route profile and expected a now challenge quickie. Which was not the case. We camped the weekend, if I have to complain about something it would be to pack up camp after the race. Would prefer to do the race on a Saturday and enjoy a easy short ride on the Sunday
  14. Hi Darrel, How about a visit to groenkloof sometime?
  15. From what I have read the difference between the I-magic and fortuis is the driven motor and the fortuis incline grade can go to 12 where the I-magic stop at 5-6. Can you feel the limit?
  16. Do you have the steering column? I think the system will be fine without it....?
  17. Hi, Have you used a virtual trainer? I`m considering getting the Tacx fortius. I know you can’t get a replacement for the real thing, but I just can’t get on the road in the week. Is worth the extra bucks or should I just get the no thrills trainer and find a way to get through the boredom
  18. I didn`t stay for the price giving on Saturday. So fill me in please. The marathon pro`s took the wrong turn and did 95km. Did the still make it to the line 1st? Cos if I understand right the still got credited with the win?
  19. whats the difference between racing ralph and rocket ron?
  20. I chickened out of the 115km! Doing the 75km now Think it still going to be hard. Good luck to everyone
