  1. i would so suggest the cycle ops Joule 2 and for the reason you wanna use it on your MTB i would invest in the titanium model. i have crashed so many times and it has not even got a scratch on it. also i use to have the hub fitted tap but i have now got the crank its a better suited to me because i can use any wheel i want to race with and train with and i always have my data.
  2. Ride to carletonville and back westgate there and back is 146km its flat and good for a tempo zone 3 session
  3. your problem is based on bike setup!! depending on where your arms are sore comes down to a simple adjustment on your saddle angle normally but that might not be the only problem, take your bike to a good bike shop and ask for a setup, this shouldn’t cost you anything as this should be a customer service of any professional cycle business making sure that they are in it for the sport and their clients, it takes about 20min and take your cycling shorts and cycle shoes in with you. once you are setup most of your discomfort will be gone, as for saddle pain soft large saddles are not the way to go, you often move around too much on them and then more pain sets in. and a lil tip don’t ever wear underwear under your cycle short. hope you come right
  4. In-terms of power training - my cycle ops or you can look at different brands gives me digital second by second real time data that I can use to control the output of my training session and develop my growth in my weaker areas. power taps give information during your ride such as: - current or AVG and MX pwr (in watts) - current or AVG and MX torque (in Nm) - Speed AVG or MX - HRT AVG or MX - Climbing Gradient (in % og Gradient) - Height in meters - loss in meters - Normalized PWR - Work out Stress when you DL you ride info you can actually see what your ride outputs are; you can then train to effectively improve your pwr output and bring your HRT down; the software allows you to evaluate your ride in total you can zoom into and out of intervals, or sessions of a ride for example zone 1 and 2 tempo ride sessions, view peak power, view loss of pwr, view torque stress during your ride which improves pedal smoothness, you can upload and share the data in multiple web portals such as Training peaks, Facebook, twitter and the list goes on PWR training has changed the way I ride, and I’m so much better off because of it Njoy the decision making process with all the information you have been given.
  5. I'm looking for a confident training partner to join me on either early morning rides or afternoon rides, for 2 hour rides during the week, Fridays i normally do 3hr rides. i'm really looking for someone that is very dedicated no excuses kind of training partner. I’m not worried as to what your level of fitness is as long as you would like to become stronger
  6. have you considered power meaters over only HRT training? what are your goals beyond just ridding and i little running?
