  1. Ashley Road this morning. Drop me a message if it’s yours.
  2. Thanks Wheelsuck those both look doable! Will def give them a try!
  3. Thanks shaper! Any particular HIIT bike sessions you'd reccomend? Don't want to over do it.
  4. Hahaha yup I'm an 85 baby, and would say average fitness! Thanks for the advice- will def keep it slow and steady! Temptation is to klap it on the bike HIIT sessions as that's where I'm coming from, but the legs just say hell no!
  5. Noob question here! Regarding intensity of cycling intervals on the watt bike. Normally I would do HIIT twice a week and kill myself, but now I'm swimming or running in the morning (because one sport is not enough), so the HIIT bike afternoon workout I can't manage the same intensity. Should I be doing just tempo steady stuff or longer easier sessions? Thanks ahead.
  6. Hey fellow togs I'm selling my Nikon D600 camera if anyone is looking. Excellent condition with 79K shutter count. Price: R11500. Have pics if anyone is keen?

    I was one of the guys that you caught at Cato Ridge- Sappi Green and Blue kit. Glad you did as I was poked trying to catch the front AL guys who broke away on Fox Hill. Finished in the bunch with 2:44. Heard your touch of wheels up ahead at the end in the straight and nearly died!
  9. Riding further is mostly in the mind in my opinion. A lot of beginners underestimate how far they can go. I'm not saying go out and ride 80km. But if you push yourself 10km further on your next ride then you'll set a precedent. Once you know you have set that bar, your next ride will be to go further then that. Diet and nutrition all play a part yes, but you've got to have the will to push yourself.
  10. Personally I think a 2L camelbak and two bottles is enough liquid to last you a couple rides. Don't make the mistake of taking in too many calories (game/powerade and energy bars). You not signing up for an everest climb. Anything under two hours and you should be just on water. Take an energy bar with just in case you do bonk (not sure of your fitness level), but you should be fine.
  11. What a fantastic event! The singletrack this year was sublime and well cleaned up- super flowing. The inclusion of all the bridges made a big difference. I unfortunately buckled my front wheel 30km in, but still rode the remainder 30km with severe tyre rub as I was having such a great time. Congratulations to the organizers!
  12. This might be the perfect place for this post. I'm currently riding an aluminium GT Zaskar and am wanting to upgrade to a carbon Zaskar frame. Size Medium. Anyone have a frame they wishing to sell due to an upgrade? Thanks!
  13. Nothing against Chinese carbon guys but I'd prefer to buy a brand name I know. Different strokes for different folks. Thanks though.
  14. Hi guys I'm in the market looking for a carbon 29inch hardtail frame. Wanting to spend between R5-7K on something relatively new and in good condition. I'm 1.78m tall. Give me a shout if you can help out. Thanks.
  15. @shauninspired I'm into landscapes, longexposures, star trails, sunsets, etc... https://instagram.com/shauninspired/
  16. Can I advertise my services here guys? If not please say so and I'll delete this post. I offer Family, Newborn and Engagement photoshoots at great value for money. Package includes 10 jumbo prints and all the photos on a CD. I'm currently building a Facebook page: Shaun Tarr Photography. It's has a couple photos on it, but still many more to load as I get time. I'm based in Hillcrest, Durban. Location of the photoshoot is up to you. Thanks.
  17. When you next in Durban give me a shout...
  18. IceCreamMan I would take miserable weather over boiling hot sun any time though!
  19. Still need to book accommodation for the Mrs and I- any recommendations? Don't wanna drive up in the wee hours of the morning.

    Managed a 2h:49 after being dropped from the A batch in the last couple kms. Geez the wind was a duzi.

    @flyingscot find a couple guys and stick together taking turns to pull up Fox Hill. Don't sit at the back of a bunch that doesn't look quick enough. You'll know if they have intentions of sub 3hrs or not. For Inchanga start at the front so if you do drop back due to the pace you should be able to hold on till the crest. It is about 6mins of hard effort but will shatter the bunch separating the cyclists from the posers. Drink at the top of Bothas Hill so you have sugar in the legs for Kassier climb up to the hospital.
  22. So sorry to hear man. I cant tell from the map- is that at the bottom of Compendium Climb? I was riding through there this morning!
