Having your vitality Points goal Adjusted...My experience ...I have been on the max 900 points for who knows how long and have easily achieve that with 3 mountainbike rides a week with heartrate monitor... Then I was Diagnosed with Prostate cancer and had Brachytherapy.The effects and how much exercise you can do after the surgery is a much debatable topic and at the end of the day you have to except that you will be doing less exercise.biking can be out for 6 weeks - 6 months . Anyhoo if you know you are about to take a knock on your ability to exercise at the current level ,you can appeal to the Vitality active rewards program.They take 28 working days and a bit of prompting to adjust your points.They dropped mine to 600 mmmm I know non cancer sufferers that have a points goal of 100 point s a week.So if you have had a medical condition or procedure... it is possible to get your points total adjusted. If possible try and send the application in before the time if you know you will be having a procedure or a medically affected layoff. (obviously it requires a completed application with supporting documents)

Hi All looking for a Scott 29'r frame ...Western cape.

Got some strange lurgy...swollen glands muscle aches, stiff neck with bouts of the runs...been trying to shake it for 3 weeks riding on flats fine but as soon as i hit a climb...boy o boy legs seize up and sweat like crazy ...on antibiotics anti inflammatories and waiting on the tests to see if its lyme disease.

I've always owned Steele bikes

So whats the Difference between an ali frame and a CF frame...Ask anyone who has carried his bike up the Portage, LOL

I wear a Helmet 100% of the time...over 20 years of mntbiking yes it's hot and uncomfortable at times and yes the chin strap gets seriously annoying. So over the years I"ve fallen on my head a couple of times damaging 2 helmets(requiring replacement) and walked away with face bruises but no head trauma. My wife tripped 6 months back hitting her head on a door sill...It has opened our eyes to TBI.. She has still not recovered fully and still not able to be at work full time. we all have the right to choose what we can and cannot do.... but do you really want to burden your dependents with your recovery time because a helmet doesn't look cool.

So enjoying the new Newlands /Kirstenbosch extension and to date have had no negative interaction with Hikers and Dog walkers....However Have passed a couple of mtbikers going hell for leather down the Gravel trail sections.................................... this can only lead to trouble Reading the Bicycling magazine online review The Wow Rides – Kirstenbosch MTB Trails http://www.bicycling.co.za/training-nutrition/featured-rides/wow-rides-kirstenbosch-mtb-trails/ (section of the article as printed) Take your time, breathe in the fresh air and savour the incredible beauty. Nothing here is manicured – instead, the route follows the natural flow and layout of the existing tracks. There’s a portage section too, and while some will attempt to ride it (nobody has made it down successfully yet) it’s safer and easier to dismount and walk the 100m section. After the portage is where things really start to get tough as you climb your way up to Constantia Nek. The many climbs have just as many fast and furious descents not to mention a plethora of single tracks to keep your heart racing and skills in check. mmmm "many fast and furious descents...not to mention a plethora of single tracks" Which trails are you riding mr Borrill my edits for punctuation and spelling:)

So enjoying this new loop....that rubber mat on the corner of the single track sure works great thanks to the installers. The Steep portage is taking a bit of a beating from guys climbing with bikes on their shoulders wearing cleats.that and an escape route to the Cecilia parking and this trail will be 100%.

Howzit yes on my facebook page ...Tokai Mountainbike and Trail news https://www.facebook.com/groups/1522508718004244/ We added part of the Newlands section onto out evening greenbelt ride ...That climb from Southern cross drive gate was a bit of a surprise ,will try get onto the Tokai trails on Sunday.

Friday Cape storm ripping through and blowing down trees on the trail,i believe ...That being said Its probably more dangerous if i was in my pool at the moment

"Though the group is enthusiastic about the future of metric sizing in suspension, each company says it will remain committed to supporting its imperial shock sizes as long as market demand is relevant." Like the States is ever going to give up Imperial.

Go max...is the hair colour matching the colour of the frame for the ride.
