  2. It only took me 25 years....🤣
  3. Very informative thank you. 👍
  4. Do the carbs not affect fat adaptation? What carbs do you add and what is MCT powder - pardon my ignorance there I on the very odd occasion during Biogen electrolytes but cost and the caffeine are an issue as I'm prone to being a poor sleeper. I drink water with a pinch of salt on 99% of rides. I will say I am 1000% strict on my Keto diet and carb wise have some roast veg now and then and about 40g of Blueberries with yoghurt daily.
  5. Just a quick update. I've just passed minus 20kg and feeling very good. Still doing Keto, IF and zone 2 rides. I find I feel very good for the first 90 minutes of a ride and the last 30 are harder. I've already surpassed my goal weight and am heading for the next milestone. Initially I incorrectly thought I'd climb like a beast when I lost weight but I'm riding fasted AND under-caloried so just taking it easy.....have to get some new kit and clothes.....this is my best weight in 25+ years ......additionally we are actually saving a meaningful amount on food and have not consumed any cycling juice since end January ... 😊
  6. For my money Hennops are the best (and best maintained) outside of Cape Town. Northern Farms also not bad. The Cradle - cr@p, not maintained for the most part.
  7. There are at least 2 posts in this thread that pertain to cracks not caused by an incident or accident yet covered by insurance....how? A few years ago I claimed for a crack and insurer rejected saying manufacturer fault....frame sent back to Taiwan for manufacturer to assess. They ground through the gelcoat/clear coat and crack was clearly caused by damage which the insurer had rejected but get this - manufacturer found a previously hidden and unrelated crack far away and and replaced the frame under warranty. First crack: intersection toptube and seattube Second crack: BB/Chainstay Insurer: Santam Broker: Interisure..... Again, how?
  8. I switched to the Wheels Manufacturing option years ago on my MTB. Great option.
  9. I once bought a Vittoria Barzo Epic something based on the spec weight, only to weigh it and sell it and immediately go back to my Ardent race. 😄
  10. I was going to ask what the reason was for minimal flats at the sharp end, especially Nino?
  11. I've been following a Keto diet and IF since Jan with great results. I'd be interested to know how far you took Keto or did you come off it before ACE? CHEERS
  12. That stage of W2W is STILL to this day the most fun I've ever had on a bike! After a sleep on the floor at Houwhoek Hotel, and s stunning breakfast at the same 😄
  13. Thanks for that
  14. Also wondering....
  15. Slight detour....how will MTB WC XCM etc be shown? Other than on their pay Site will it be shown on any foreign TV channels?
  16. Saw either Stützman or Porro ditch what looked like a bottle from his RH jersey pocket.....on camera nogal. The litter is there every year, the fines don't seem to work.
  17. Spez's sponsor and marketing activity.
  18. Nicely written Diesel, I could almost feel the stress of the day. If they can't require a qualification, the Epic should at least require some sort of seeding greater than the Prologue.
  19. No serial no?
  20. Ja I see no new content. That's a pity. However, I'm not sure why but sometimes his videos are short compared to the stage and he doesn't show the suffering on the big climbs. Maybe not allowed to....Check out Jasper Verkuil channel for last year, longer and more focused. He's got a young recently born child so he's not here this year. Jasper has an amazing channel, hope he gets started again when their summer arrived.
  21. I hear you but on Craig Koleskys YT video he was clearly frustrated and he's no racing snake ...
