  1. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH YISSSSSSSSSSS
  2. I also suggest having a good medical aid. But just something for all you guys who mentioned "It would've cost me ..." You won't pay that amount regardless, as almost all off the costs occured by someone in a public hospital, is payed by taxes. My fiance who works in Tswane Hostipal told me about someone who has been there for 5 years after a motorcycle accident. He has had the best surgeons, dieticians, care-takers and phisiotherapists and he hasn't paid a cent. And there are wards full of such cases. Medical Aid just gives you the benefit off immediate assistance, instead of being 4th or 5th in the queue in the public casualties department not knowing when the doctor will help you.
  3. Just how much *** can a bunch of English guys talk?
  4. Pretoria- Die Moot. There are some nice trails which the Friends of the Magalies built!
  5. Theres a saying that the skill gap between a 18-handicap golfer and a scratch-golfer is just as large as the gap between a scratch-golfer and a pro. I would argue there is a similar comparison between a Tour sprinter, a 2h50min Argus rider and a five-hour-hopeful riding his first Argus.

  7. Today is a perfect day for cycling in Gauteng. My bike took me to our farm. (Vaal Dam in the background)
  8. I'm disappointed.. 3 days coverage and not one expo-girl photo?
  9. Lower Orange or Vaal?
  10. It was me, I mentioned to the racing officials before and after the race that I was gonna ride the 26 km with my GF (it was her first race), but they never adjusted my time/race. As I crossed the finish line I even told them not to scan my SAS board, but they probably didn't notice/care.
  11. The problem lies within the machined rail spacer. I have used various Cobalt Seatposts and the newer ones are worse. The newer seatposts's (all the stock that Bicciletta sold) spacers were machined to a 9mm rail and sold as a 7mm saddle unit. Tightening the clamp over 8Nm could cause the threading to seize, seeing that it is stainless sleel. I rolled hard plastic around my rails, then tightened them. No problems thus far.
  12. In severe cases it will be affect your nerves, so that you will lose feeling in your fingers and toes.
  13. I'm not sure, but here are my reasons: People with undiagnosed Lebers disease used B12 and went blind. Mothers feeling a bit lethargic during breastfeeding used B12 too much and harmed their babies. The age old problems: Mixing B12 and alchohol and they don't read the labels on the vitamins. I would still say take your chance at Dischem's dispensary without a prescription.
  14. Damnit, I must then be a doper too. My steroids were contaminated with MHA by a pharmacist, it isn't my fault. I would never intentionally use MHA.
  15. Where is this 'platkoppie'? I have never heard of such an hill and I don't recognize it from the photo. I am hoping to include that climb in my rides around Vereeniging.
  16. The bike in picture has its crank on the left side. Anyway, cool article
  17. Cycledelic.co.za I can't vouch for them, but I see their ads in all the major cycling publications so they seem ok.

    Something that I saw pro riders do to prevent components breaking if they fall, is to loosen the bolts that attach the components to the handlebar or fork. The idea is that the rotation will dampen some forces, to which the rider can just re-adjust and continue. I wonder if that will also reduce the risk of a brake lever penetrating your skin.
  20. Ja Hanro, ek sal verseker daar kom ry. Ek sal jou ook eintlik bietjie nooi om op ons plaas te kom ry sodat ons idees kan uitruil of saam werk. Vra ook bietjie julle bure (Slangheuwel se mense) of jy hulle grond kan gebruik want ek weet hulle het lekker singletrack gedeeltes langs die spruit. Jan-Hendrik
  21. Lekker man! 1/2 mile drag on Houtkop, a brandy to the winner. I will be at the next CM in September, can't make this one. Enjoy!
  22. @Skystar It only shows South African websites. And also limited to websites that use Effective Measure coding to track traffic. @Raydek It will only be able to show SA porn websites... something like www.ladiesandbicycles.co.za

    Lactate threshold is just a stepping stone to the next level. I would recommend that you leave the heart rate monitor and 'training zones'. It is your first triathalon, so rather focus on the scenery, energy and atmosphere of the race. Pacing Guideline: If you are able to small-talk with the people next to you: you are going to slow. If you feel the arteries in your head pumping; you are going to fast.
  24. Yikes, cause I ordered two weeks ago while the still had stock to allow it to be delivered before my dad's birthday next week. I hope it arrives before then. I have a question: Can a body reach a metabolic state of glycosis (complete opposite of ketosis), where most of your energy store is supplied from carbs and starches, without having a high blood glucose level? The LCHF lifestyle proves that the body's ability to adapt is incredible and is capable of building a metabolic 'memory'. I'm not talking about carbo-loading, but rather a state where your body regulates blood sugar much faster to prevent hyper/hypo-glycemia. Anyway, it would've been a good control experiment to show the benefits of LCHF regardless.
