I don't bother telling any other cyclist he is littering because most cyclists are either arrogant, rude or down right stupid and since my buddy does it so can I mentality..... "DT"
Me thinks not S/P...I had to dissappoint a few people over the last few weekends because of work commitments..now that took some explaining even when I diarised Droster's weekend.....sorry mate I so much wanted to join you.....Ok go ahead like the other's if U want & give me hell too..It reminds me I need to P/M Michelle...see "DT"
Apparently Gels should not be used in conjunction with your drink accept water and should be used say the last 30-40k's of your race ???????????? more to prevent an adverse reaction & stomach upsets..cramps etc???? "DT"
Your racing/training drink....I have been on Energade for some time now in training sessions and am very fond of FIT as well.....Ok Energade works out cheaper most of the time but do use FIT for racing etc.. Have been taking the Energade Blast..with B2/6 ??????? anyone else using Energade and what do you think...do U enjoy it ?? does it help as far as your hydration needs go and what about this B2/6 they say is in there?? 'DT"
Lost touch with the Landis story.........got bored with all this Doping issues across cycling....is he still contesting the allegations and claiming innocence ?????? Has he been stripped of the jersey and prize money yet ?? "DT"
No not me.........Been busy on the indoor trainer with intervals...I leave roadwork for weekends ..... been like that thro' winter, will be out in the mornings as soon as its "warmer"... It's not all bad....we have had some cold weekend rides where we've gone out and froze........enjoyed it a treat... "DT"
smileys/smiley4.gif Last year on a training ride I was going in the opposite direction of a race taking place from H.Potgieter..........I humbly turned around and joined in for some 50k's and raced with them.........turns out I forgot my number at home when asked where's my number....smileys/smiley36.gif... Thanks for the ride and fast pace....& turned off heading home.... "DTsmileys/smiley4.gif"
smileys/smiley4.gif Ok..no reason to P/M SP.............U really think it add's weight ??? seems so a miniscule addition to add weight....I'll consider it nevertheless......Well there is a plus on my weight issue....suppose one cancels the other out..smileys/smiley4.gif "DTsmileys/smiley4.gif"
smileys/smiley4.gif I do re-call that one MichH..............actually U reminded me of it because we rode together after her Op when she had the double layer on...seemed comfy..will P/M her........... 'DTsmileys/smiley4.gif"
smileys/smiley4.gif Changed my tape the other day.....felt like the new tape is slightly "thinner" than what was on there....does anyone ride with a double layer of tape & for which reasons??? Also I'm thinking of putting on a second layer because of my hands---the work I do after hrs results in my knuckles & joints hurting quite a bit and holding onto the handle bars for long hrs does not make it any easier... I'm hoping for better comfort here !!! Will there be any negative impacts if I put a second layer on ?? "DTsmileys/smiley4.gif"
smileys/smiley4.gif Scotty any chance you'll part with those Easton's (didn't think so)..........I like 'em very much and they do look good on a bike. I was gonna rob you that day we rode in the reserve.......why do U think I descended so fast.......was to hide away and ambush you ......... "DTsmileys/smiley4.gif"
smileys/smiley4.gif Over the last few months my training partner & I covered some good distances doing up to 130k's..I realised he is not big on distance and have not been riding as long as I have, hills are a battle at times etc.. we the same age, he weigh's 82kg & I weigh 73kg.....I usually ride infront 90% of our rides & almost never ride away from him except on some hills I wait for him to catch up.... Ok so I upped the game a tad and took him on a 150k ride,,,very slow, cadence about 70/75rpm...at times 80rpm (to make him work)..he tried his best to keep up and did well..at times on our rides I let him take the lead but does not hold it for long and gives way for me to ride infront again...make no mistake he is strong..we want to do 94.7 as a team and by then we need to put in more training... Questions: I'm trying to get him to a point where he leads without losing the pace--HOW? I mentioned more long rides like this one and I always incorporate some good hills.. Any suggestions?????? Oh & I did a few intervals with him already as well..... "DTsmileys/smiley4.gif"
smileys/smiley4.gif I guess I'd flatten the wheels/clean the frame/oil the chain etc and bubble wrap the lot.... Dunno much there but congrat's on the twins...smileys/smiley32.gifsmileys/smiley32.gif "DTsmileys/smiley4.gif"
smileys/smiley4.gif Shesha.....go with the Scott CR1...loan/borrow (give a deposit) it from the lbs for a week like I did and do some long rides...smileys/smiley32.gifenough said !!! "DTsmileys/smiley4.gif"
smileys/smiley4.gif I have a slight scratch on my fork..thanks to the lbs...would the clear coat not be too obvious if I attempt this ?? "DTsmileys/smiley4.gif"
smileys/smiley4.gif I agree with the above....Comfort & Pedalling Efficiency....I was not happy with my set-up..it felt like the reach to the brake hoods & drops were too far/saddle height was perfect.... this after 2 attempts at 2 different lbs.. .... after reading some books etc I decided to try a DYI .... a few attempts and long rides later I feel my set-up now is ideal.

"A recall has been issued for about 2,700 Specialized carbon road stems fitted with a magnesium faceplate. The faceplates can crack and allow the handlebar to break free from the stem, causing the rider to lose control." "WE DON'T WANT A SECOND INCIDENT AS WHAT HAPPENED TO GEORGE HINCAPIE IN THE PARIS ROUBAIX----------DO WE?" "DTsmileys/smiley4.gif"
