awww...dont we just love the fairness in road racing. any strategy tips off road ?

well done dude - not easy

Eldron gave very good advise when saying you should compare with the guys with similar phisique and then practise climbing. It really all depends who you are comparing yourself too. As you probably know - at this stage you can still benefit a lot by shaking off some kilos.

i agree with you - not strictly true. but 105kgs at say even 4W/kg is hectic

as you mentioned, you should have good strength on the flats (seated). a good training exercise for sitting/standing endurance- go on a spinning bike (good one) sit and pedal with some good resistance, turn the resistance up then stand (dont rest on arms). tweak resistance till you are stable and can sustain the cadence and resistance with little presure on hands. with you weight you'll have to crank it up quite a bit. start with 1min down - 1min up and work towards 1min down 5 min ups - aim is stability and it will teach you to use the weight to your advantage if you can keep yourself up(legs can support the weight and power) 3 weeks of this and im sure you'll feel more comfertable when climbing.

lose 25kg's as easy as that. harsh but true.

nice list!

haha, dont we know those too well

went riding in greyton with a friend... did only 78km... they came to get me 3km from home

thats the answer

no problem with that

that big mountain....head straight at it and you'll find enough climbs to make you cry like a girl

honestly, that is the first GT that actually looks good to me. nice bike! please let know how that manitou perform. did I say NICE BIKE!?

...that is what his looking for

beckham comes to mind.

i loved those bands. it made thing very clear to me and i placed people in three possible categories. 1. fashionable 2. stupid/ignorant 3. fashionable and stupid/ignorant

Giro Atmos/Inos (white/silver) ps. mine is cracked well at 5 places, is that deal still running where you hand the old one in and get % off on new ?

the pass from hospital towards swaziland is called Saddleback Pass. Also known as Havelock, but that is the name af an old asbestos mine on the other side of the border in Swaziland(called Diepgeset Mine on SA side). Have no idea the climb elevation and distance, my polar battery died a couple of weeks back while mounting that monster.

will the deals be on the online store?

WHAT A BRILLIANT POST! Dont know, or care really, the history on all this (if any) but with an attitude like this im sure business will be good. I'll look out for your brands (obviously the cheapest)

agree with this. also important is to eat the right foods when you do eat (enough calories)

mmm...i was refering to the spinning bike

8/10 recently spent alot of hours on one and quite impressed with it. you can set it up to resemble your bike setup almost exactly

do you remember when the weatbix boxes had the birds on the end flaps ?
