    It takes me 20 mins to warm up. Pooks hill will have me for breakfast and Steyn city will crap me out

    So collected my mtb pack today and drove down that first climb out of riversands. Called Mbendi climb on strava. Didn't realise how long it is and comes in at 4.2%. Not too steep but legs are cold What is the groups strategy w.r.t that climb? That is my warmup. I don't warmup too well. And strategy out of corners. Usually in Uncoordinated bunches, guys hammer out of corners. Edit: spelling

    I must apologise in advance. I have a tendency to fall off the group on steep hills. So I try to get near the front or surge past group before the climb, so that I filter back over the climb. And hope I'm at the tail end at the top. I am not a good climber at all.

    That sounds good. We need to be near the front of the pen

    Meeting point D sounds good. Are we going to have some sort of markers we can put on our shirts or helmets to identify each other. It's a big crowd to navigate

    Please add me to the I group. I'm in H but will drop back for a group ride. Last year did a 3h33 solo. Suffered in steyn city. Hoping for low 3 hour. Did 2h53 emperors, 3h10 tour durban and 3h09 race for victory. Am not a climber but can pull the group on flats and gentle inclines.

    Is there any way to track the cash back? I'm 90% certain I got more back than the R600 paid to join Team Vitality

    So I'm trying to visualise looking for a saddle sore, in a mirror, trying to coordinate left and right movements. Nee man. You could have come up with a better explanation. Like filling gel capsules with liquid bicarb.

    October will be 3 years for me. Lungs still cry for oxygen on the hills. Will it get better, don't know and doesn't seem like it from what I get online. 18 years heavy smoking killed my lungs. But nearly 8000km of cycling since kicking the habit has given me a few more years when I'm old. That's all that matters now.

    Sjoe. Those integrated front brakes.

    Put on a wolverine on my front replacing a maxxis crossmark. It is tight on my ZTR flow rim. The thing is it seems to puncture very easily even with small thorns. have been sprayed with sealant a few times. Hope never to get a irrepairable puncture and try to put on a tube. Screwed. Wont be using a wolverine again

    Struggled to get a wtb wolverine on to ztr flow. Screwed on the trail.

    Got dragged along with kids yesterday to watch it. The kids talked for 1 minute about it after leaving the movie. It's forgotten now. They still talk about big hero 6 Paddington story of bringing the bear into human society not well scripted. Like nobody noticed there is a talking bear.

    Pulled the trigger for the 80km. Oh dear. What have I done.

    Any idea of what damage smoking has done to your lungs. And will it ever recover. I smoked for 18 years and probably smoked more than 20 a day for at least 10 years. Saw some graphs off Google that shows I may have lost as much 20 % of lung capacity. Kills me on the hills. Always battling on them

    2 years and 5 weeks since kicking the habit. Life is so much better.
