Yeah, you can get a long way to your goal just by cutting out the crap we usually eat. But sometimes you just need to hear it from someone else. Had I not made that appointment, I would either still have been on 80kg, or if I had controlled the snacking, been around 78kgs. I NEVER would have reached 73kgs had I not gone to the dietician. if you dont mind me asking... how tall are you ?

use protien drink only after hard ride and withing 1 hour. just for recovery of muscle tissue. rule of thumb 1g per kilogram body weight. (best to see how your body reacts and adjust)

buy a mtb - any. if youve got one... buy another Mellow2008-12-09 07:50:49

im blind and gay and ive been riding with these wonder marbles for years now.... the sound of marbles pounding my hub is the only way of knowing i need to speed up and the thought of my cycle buddies without underpants motivates me... 3999.00 is a give away!

Hi, I am PPA registered. Do I still go about getting a CSA racing license to compete in national evens at myrace or do I need a club or does PPA take care of it all? Thanks

yes' date=' from the car to the start line. [/quote'] Come ride the race next year and decide for yourself Were all the participants as touchy as you? haha, was wondering the same thing. i was looking at the picks and did not know if i should take my road bike or mtb to the event.... so glad you asked

This year Lourensford got me. Did not do Hill2Hill this year, but judging by the times of the riders it looked nasty.

Azonic... that pic of yours is giving me a headache!!!

...and one thing to look forward too is the western cape rainy season to end soon! I hope. The mud is killing my bike mechs Just hang in there!

Have you been to schwinn's web page recently ? It seems like they are focusing a bit more on recreational cycling and urban commuting. Maybe i visited the wrong page, but I would go for Mongoose

Sure, just sharing. I do think there is truth in what Johan Bornman replied, i just dont know, to many variables for me to point at one thing.

Im not left or right brain minded - i have no brain. This is why I had to do a test a couple of months back on the Larsen and Crossmark to look at the effect of changing the tyre around (rotation direction). You smart guys can explain the result, im happy with what ive learnt. Ive noticed that i kick-up a noticable amount more gravel and water when turning it in the opposite direction than shown. Hope this helps

stumbled accross this and dont know the story is/was http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=356880

that is a good frame and like you suggest it will take some time getting used to. judging from your s-works set up you have quite the race setup. i find marida and scott has an agressive setup. i would try a riser bar on that marida.

I think Riaan Cruywagen would kick @rse in his age group............whatever his age group is....................... RIAAN CRUYWAGEN DONT FALL IN AN AGE GROUP BECAUSE NO AGE GROUP CAN HOLD RIAAN CRUYWAGEN!!

That white stem just looks wrong on an all mountain bike A nice white Ritchey WCS ' date='now all I need is the handlebar [/quote'] also have a look at the FSA k-force bar... good deal. about 44pounds in uk

all this is a bit confusing... where do you guys find time for snacks and unwrapping bars, patatoes, marmite sandwiches , froot cakes.. what the hell i use gu when feeling good and know there is a big climb coming in about 8-10 mins. generally about 2 a race (if any) and take some fluid if mouth is too dry.

dougaroony, you are on the money... it depends what kind of ride you want and rider you are... all i can say is use a sealant (that is if you dont want to carry 10 tubes)

...seeing everyone has an opinion i may as well air mine... I use the lightes combination with a sealant... and that is tube tyres (without tubes) and sealant. It makes sense in my mind and i havent been dissapointed to date... touch wood. I do ride hard and I do carry a spair tube though at least one.

thank you
