Sounds like we are well and truly on our way to being a "nanny" society now in the MTB world as well !!

Double dosed with a mixture of Viral Choice Vit C, Correx & Corenza 4 times a day leading into my first Epic - got rid of the symptoms within 3 days >> or maybe I was just high ion the meds >>who cares it worked and I rode !

Anyone know why ???? - how long ????

Hi All, Tried the stretching thing - all new to me - and supplementing with slow mag and vitamins since last week This mornings ride my thighs definitely felt "easier" will push the pace this afternoon and see how they feel tomorrow !

Thanks Hubbers - getting lots of advice which I intend to try - at my age I can't afford to let this get out of hand

Non of the above I'm afraid ! Maybe a bit of rest over the weekends which is about to change as we head into Sani2c But I'm going to follow the advice re the supplements - any thing is worth a try at this stage

Getting ??? read that as OLD

Looking for some advice here - hope it's the correct thread before I get roasted ! I commute to work 4 or 5 times a week averaging 11 hours a week. Nothing special mostly flat with a hill ride on Fridays. Over the Easter weekend was totally off the bike and when I resumed riding to work this last week my thighs were really sore at the start of each ride ? I have battled all this week both on the in and out rides hoping it would go away but no luck. What could have caused this - my 4 days off the bike ? Didn't do anything out of the ordinary over the long weekend to cause the discomfort either. Hope someone can shed some light on this for me

Now you Sir are a gentleman - well done !

Why not use the shuttle - did it last year and will do it again this year

Well done to all that helped , makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to read about how you guys banded together to get him down safely. And to the "crazy 60 year old " hang in there and get better quickly - hopefully see you back on the trail sometime !!!

Had a Go-Pro now for almost 2 years - only used it about 5 times when I got it - doubt if I will use it again So in answer to your question - NO it's not worth it - just continue to marvel at the big screen shots at the stores selling them

looks like a whole lotta fun >>>> no ?

Makes all the multi day stage races look a bit tame I'm allowed to say that as I have done a number of 8 day stage races This man's got huge kahunies

I see tatone but not tattoo

Come down and live in Slaap Stad - our cycle path is great

Just fitted one to my KTM 26er - works like a charm for chain suck - nothing - nada - not even an attempt at chain suck - even in the roughest of single track

If this had been the Cape Epic lance would have been given a 1 hour penalty

I bought 3 Momsen's for my bike (not Momsens)- 2 got trashed on Sani2c and I eventualy got rid of the 3rd - - they are so flimsy they are not worth the hassle of trying to fit them to any othrt bike but a Momsen Just saying

Another April Fools joke - not even funny !

Can see you've never done an Epic

When I rode Paris/Brest/Paris the guys who came over from the UK were running these types of lighting systems which worked well. If you try Evans cycles in the UK I know they would have them and do an internet purchase for you

He is a cyclist ----- walk 150m ?????? you gotta be kidding

So if 650 = playfull ............. then my 26er is super playfull ????? Here we go again !

You drink on a 2hr ride ??? > seriously ?
