Dogfish

Hi Guys, instead of starting a new thread on the topic, i just want to ask some advice. I have started doing a few longer more challenging rides and find my knee's are really taking a beating. Could this be because they are not use to the distance and will take some getting used to or should be looking a bit deeper into it? i get pain toward the inside of the knee cap mainly. for days after riding its still very tender but does not hurt when walking but find it difficult to hold my weight when crouching.

anyone keen to ride today? weather is great and so far Thursday looks crappy.

I will send you a map from my last ride, change it to satellite view and it should give you a good indication of entry points. As JGR mentioned, there is a technical climb into deer park from the school but if you get onto the mountain at deer Park drive you wont have have any technical climbs.

not Technical at all, a few small climbs and flat sections to start with followed by a long climb to the top.

anyone heading out this eve?

Hey Oceana, The joys of living in CT are the hills, your best remedy.... don't give up and get fit, and they will become your friends! have a look on www.tablemountainbikers.co.za for the QR code for the trails and routes around Table mountain. Fitness will make the biggest impact on the uphills and the loose/rocky stuff, the lower your gear the more you will be prone to spin out and fail to apply adequate traction to the back wheel. confidence also plays a big part but this can only be found by biting the bullet and giving it a go, fall and get back up! everyone has been there, im not far off! if you can try join the Thursday ride from Kloof st, details in the TBL Mountain group ride section of the forum. good luck!

agreed Rvanz, the manual (supplied and online is poor) the you tube tutorials can be somewhat helpful.

might see you guys on the mountain, will only be able to leave a bit later, Im just going to head out and see how i feel.

have a slight onset of a cold, but with weather like this i may find myself going for a shorter, slower ride anyway.

I just figured out that you may have to click on the download tab for something to happen! idiot!

still no joy, it only shows my history as being available to upload onto the device, and under planned trips it shows "no Data". although in my collection i can view my planned trips. this is all in "manage my device" tab. am i missing a step to upload from "my Collection" to my device?

apologies for the hi jack, but im am having difficulty loading planned trips and other tracks onto my device. the manual is very vague on this issue.

This would make a awesome birthday present for me tomorrow!! ................. page liked!!

I did this as soon as i bought mine so cannot comment on the difference, but will play around so i can better understand/appreciate the difference.

by dropping the BB height?

That's an awesome part of Moz, Near Chidenguele. Recognized the picture of Kings pools!

Shooting him could not have been the only option! trigger happy in my opinion.

Im going to Ride, sure Rob will be there ready on the corner.

anyone heading out tomorrow?

yip, found this very useful!

yip, im keen! see you there.

Eish 4 may be a bit early for me to get there, will go later anyway.
