  1. When you check a segment, you can show just the club members you part of
  2. Swift01 is renown for doing this one with me.... This doesn't help when our Olympian comes and does the Nissan VG race and klaps all the segments...
  3. They fun... sort of. easy to keep speed/cadence/HR pretty constant. indoor trainers you can read a book, watch tv, whatever you prefer. rollers... don't take your eyes off them. so far, no involuntary dismounts, but it's only been a week. done a couple 45-60min sessions.
  4. The LivingVitality uses MapMyFitness. So if you upload to MapMyFitness, it logs it to Discovery. The LivingVitality doesn't do manual uploads of .tcx files, but MapMyFitness does... I uploaded my Bryton .tcx files to MapMyFitness and it reflected on Discovery, although I hit "Limits Apply" for a lot of fitness stuff back in April, you still get the bonus points.
  5. need to better my 4:23 from 2012... Was only my 2nd race, after Rooiberg 75. The Monster uphill isn't that bad, but it slowly sucks everything out the legs and then all the bumps after it seem endless with much moaning. Remember going up the Monster and hearing the huffing and puffing from someone behind me, looked back and saw a carbon rigid.

    2012 94.7

    Was my first roadie race. Starting in I, there was a great train that i managed to hook onto, not sure who all the guys were, KTM, couple Raleighs, pretty much stayed together the whole way. Sorry to the dude on the KTM who i didn't see next to me when i reached for a barone on Jan Smuts... Had a great time and finished in 2h47. Was hoping for a sub 3, so plenty happy with that! managed 2/459 for I batch.
  8. Haven't done LionMan but 2012 Rooiberg 75 was an awesome first mtb race for me. eish... some of the climbs!!! http://app.strava.com/activities/6711212 realised that using the Strava iPhone app, 4h45 left me with about 10% battery.

  15. about 3-4 beers afterwards while discussing how awesome it was...
  16. me too!
  17. Was a great 70, very tough and those hills!!! the camera man at the top of that concrete mountain... asking how it's going just as you got to the top... umm.. i wasn't very chatty at that time... The decent on the road was insane! just smelt breaks most the way down. lost a couple places right near the end with a flat but quite chuffed with the 60th overall. don't remember where exactly it was, not too far into the race but was in the group where those buck ran across in front of us Overall an awesome event!!!
  18. Where is your chicken suite????
  19. That you doing goodie bag collection? B batch again for me

  21. girlfriend just did Berg & Bush on her new 650b full sus Jamis, she's only had it for 2-3 weeks and is loving it. she is finding the hills and flats easier and the Kenda Nevegal that it came with weren't too bad in the mud. Still on her way back, so i'll get the full report later. Edit: she was on a 26" HT Jamis
  22. Looking forward to the next one! Got some big shoes to fill after the awesome routes at VG
  23. www.photomarx.co.za was sitting on the other side of the floating bridge on the 70. takes them a few days to upload. Couple photos by ZC Marketing Consulting https://www.facebook.com/ZCMarketingConsulting
  24. Just downloaded the 2 videos this morning. seems a few of us are missing the mountains... 2 Videos from BigShotMedia: http://www.youtube.com/user/bigshotmediasa 04-06 Oct 2013!!
  25. What an awesome race!! 70 was a real toughie with a serious sense of humor failure when we turned left after the church. Big ups to Eric, Tim and Fritz for definitely the best route by far this year!!! Cramping started just before the church, made the last stretch more challenging. Great to catch up with everyone afterwards over some SpikerBombs and beers. 3h52 wasn't too bad all things considering.
