Is there anybody from the Craighall area that want to go for a cycle tomorrow?

Now that just looks edible!! mmmm

Even though it's my first, I'll be pushing for a 2:40

So with that theory in mind, if I take take out motor vehicle insurance does it mean I'm now imune to all damages & theft, my word some of you just can't help but take things literally & out of context. As for the comments about "crashing less", we don't ride bikes worth 50K+ so we can crash, what was shared above in previous posts is mere precautions for if we should crash, which is highly unlikely, but when we do, we are prepared.

When shaving legs I do the whole leg, upto & including the pubes, under the arms & my head (top), less hair = less weight=faster race finishes. It just doesn't look/feel right when getting dressed in the change rooms, legs all shaven & man hood area looking worse than a male lions head & here I'm talking about the other gymmers/cyclist. Before closing the subject on Veet, I just wanted to add "Don't EVER use Veet on the manhood area" Veet Subject Now Closed. I think Hygiene should go with cleaning the wound after you've crashed, it would then makes sense. On unshaven legs germs will stick to your hair around the wound & the wound may become infected. Less pain when crashing, why don't you put it to the test right now at your desk, ask the chick behind you to use her tweasers & start pulling hair from your legs & see if that's painfull or not, then imagine crashing on tar at high speed.

I bonked once not knowing what hit me, didn't even know it was called bonk until I read a mag later that week. Then I got this warm feeling knowing that I bonked, so now I've got bragging rights & can say I've been there done that. sh*tty feeling but the experience was great, highly recommend it to every cyclist that hasn't experienced it before.

Having a good laugh right now, that in this day & age some of you are still calling traffic lights, robots,LOL!! Anyway just yeasterday I was a victim too, as the light changed green she decides to indicate & turn by then I was nearing the front of her vehicle already & gesturing to her WTF!!! while she quickly had to swerve out of the way & speeding off to save face. I'm sure she'll remember to indicate well in advance next time.

It's a Roadie culture thing, I'm sure the MTB'ers have their own little traits & rituals they perform before a ride.

Now that I know what is being rubbed on their legs, I did my own research & this what I found wrt "warmup oils" An oil-alcohol solution Very fast absorbing and containing Ozonised oil Designed to enhance blood flow and oxygenation in the treated area Natural ingredients produce a gentle and lasting warming sensation before exercise. Ozonized oil helps convert lactic acid (in part) to sugars that can be used by the muscles A 'turbo' effect. As used by many Pro riders.

sowhat are the various brands on the market & can this be picked up at the local bike shop?

4 mud/rock slides from Noordhoeks side only, so much that I was still able to drive through it on my road bike without having to get off the bike. It's ridiculous that the road is still closed right now. How much revenue is being lost to tourism, clearly somebody needs to pull their finger.

Anybody know what the Pro's are rubbing on their legs in the mornings before the race starts? I'm thinking it's either something to warm up the muscles or just some lubricant to make their legs look all shiny & glossy?

Just an update that Chapmans Peak is now officially closed at the top for bicycles too. There use to be a gap for cyclist to slip through the fence but that now has been closed off too. Also just want to say thanks to the MTB'er who helped me scale the cliff to get around the fence. So if you're alone you'll have to turn around at the top unless you have a partner who can hand your bike to you then it should be ok, but be prepared for a few cuts from the barbed-wire, luckily I had longs covering my legs & arms.

I found this article on the Bicycling Website & at first found it disgusting but also remembering being covered in drips of snot in the last race & that there are some cyclists out there that need to read this, hence I thought sharing it on the HUB would be usefull to get the message widely spread, Enjoy. Blow Your Nose On The Bike 3 tips to clearing your nose without smearing your face or your friends. MID-PACK VOID As long as you're on the left edge of the pack, and the group decorum allows it, signal with a left-pointing finger, then swing out of the paceline, blow to the left and resume your position. BACK-OF-THE-PACK SHOOT If you've just finished a pull and are drifting back, you can rocket your nasal passages abandon. EVERYWHERE-ELSE BLOW Rather than hurl snot over your shoulder, shoot it down between your bent arm and thigh. At speeds above 40kph, or on windy days when the discharge is more likely to kite and plaster the riders behind you, try slipping it between your pumping thigh and the top tube. You'll likely splatter your quad but, at least in terms of etiquette, better you than the rider behind you. NOT THE FACE! To avoid dribbling and smeers across the cheek, assume the position (above), block one nostril, ensure your hand is out of harm's way and give a mighty blow - shooting the offending muck as far away as possible. Repeat with the other nostril. milky41302008-10-10 04:00:00

Well I just thinking that if I was able to go up Suikerbossie at the point in the race at that speed, I surely would've aced a sub3.milky41302008-10-07 16:01:38

Let's just say Phedra is the easy way out /quick fix, without having to change your diet by much. I've also found that an alternative to beer is to either go for a Lite Beer or whisky with water instead, same result without putting on the extra kg's.

Well that's easy to solve. Just tell people you did a two-sixty-three. LOL!! Good One SB never really thought about it that way but would certainly be using it future conversations.

I can vouch this, it really worked for me & is still doing it's job. After the Argus I took a 1 month layoff, put on 10kg's & have since dropped all of it again, thanks to Phedra Cut & lotsa of riding too.

Since Vino on Sunday, I have gone, insanely non-stop with intense training & clocking up the K's,so much that my muscles are aching, so I have got 2 questions, 1. Anybody looking for an extra team member for the DC as I'm ready to do a 6:30? 2. In prepartion for Saturdays race, would it be advisable just to rest after Killarney tomorrow night, until race day or rest tomorrow & go for a massage, easy ride on Thursday & rest on Friday & being fresh for Saturdays race?

G 03:03:53 - cause I got dropped & don't want to go through that humiliation again coming so close to a sub3 yet so far.
