Stiggy

Also starting in AL. I am a bit nervous about this neutral zone down the hill, as being a larger guy and aero wheels downhills are where I pull the group back, or pull away from the group, so please don't shout at me if it looks like I'm attacking. Really I'm not!! So be kind to the fat kid!

I'm super excited for the Vuelta! Gonna be great to shout for OUR team!

If your friends tjune you for having a lekker farmer tan and skinny white arms. You need new friends! You must wear it with pride! You have put some decent hours into getting skinny arms, you should be proud of it

Panda have an unofficial factory store in their factory located in town. It's all the surplus stock they have which they will sell at a huge discount. If you leave in Jhb and don't mind doing some free advertising for a random brand then pop into the store. Only problem is that its only open during office hours during the week.

Awesome. Thanks! Will see you there

Anyone doing the Audax next weekend?

Back to topic, I have one of these http://www.litexpress.com/en/headlamps/liberty/liberty-121-sensor/ it is awesome. It has a flashing light at the back, which I use when I run on the road at night. The LED on the front is super powerful and I have even used it for a game spotting in the Kruger. Really good on batteries. Great for night running!

Take the plunge! It's JHB's biggest race! So HTFU! It will be tough whether it's the old route or the new route! If it doesn't hurt, you're not cycling fast enough!

I am keen, also know a couple mates of mine who would be keen. Please let me know costs. Thanks

I have the Garmin 310XT. I absolutely love my watch, I have done multiple triathlons (including 1 Ironman, 5 half Ironman distances), cycling races and running races. The swimming function is a little shady and far exceeds the distance I have swam but the other features like if u want to incl/excl transitions in your timing you can. A great watch with loads of features!

Interesting article! I first thought it was going to say something about thieves knowing where u live and flowing your weekly riding trends and waiting for you and your bike. Using strava you can find a whole host of important info: cycling routine, type of bike, how many people you cycle with. We must be careful what we put on open forums

Can we get discovery points for this?

Looking at for a new ROAD bike. Heard that Cannondale frames have a good "tall" geometry

So I am in the market for a new bike. I am wondering what is the best frame for a tall person. I am 1.96m (or 6' 5in for the older generation). Is there better frames for tall people?

My best is when people log there gym work! Seriously is that necessary!!

I did the race yesterday! Swim was good, just k*k swimming back with the sun in your eyes, I couldn't really see the boys so just swam towards the sun and hoped for the best. I got a reading of 88.9kms for the ride! Was nice and flat but the way 2nd lap was a little tougher as 1st as the wind picked up. The run was great through the suburbs and flattish, also finished with a 19.8km reading on my garmin. Thanks for a well organized event! Legs are feeling it today but happy with the event overall!! @Faceplant - you seem to be involved in the event. If TSA withdrew from Prestige event, why do we pay for the TSA Temporary license? Should we not get our R100 back as this is an amount paid to TSA? I would like to hear your response on this matter

If you are staying in Kenilworth, its not a bad ride thru to the start in the morning. Its about 10kms or so and nice warm up. Only thing to worry about is you won't be riding with lights and there is obviously the puncturing issue.

I'll be trundling around the Cradle, so looking forward to seeing the groups whizz past

Also another thing to note, is that there were not XSmall T-shirts. My poor GF was so disappointed when she was told they only had ordered 1 box of XSmall T-shirts, let alone have female fit T-shirts. She can definitely not wear her Small as it looks like a dress. You would think that at a performance event, where people are generally slimmer than the average Joe, they would accommodate for this!?

The Scott Foil is a beaut of a bike! But again, too small for me! Need at least a 60/61cm frame

So which is better at transferring power into the bike?

Hmmm Hmmm the Advanced would be a great bike to get and I would love to make an offer but I'm a little large for a med, I need an XL.Thanks tho for the heads up

This is good! I don't think I'm in any better place than I was before but I like to hear what people think about the bikes! Any more peeps out there on Argon bikes? Any comment?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Doesn't say much about your legs.......

Thanks guys! Don't mind being one of the crowd, I prefer to let my legs do the talking!!
