Fantastic event, friendly people and beautiful town. Good air-conditioning provided on route, with some mistyfiers provided through Middelwater & Meiringspoort, some strong winds to blow you dry + extra 10km as a bonus which we didn't need to pay extra on our entry fees. Had to stay in the bundles to save energy. No legs after 140km. Poep soup provided at the final two waterpoints helped me to the top of Swartberg and the finish in Prince Albert. Riders on cyclocross bikes definately had an advantage, bliksems. A must do event, again and again and again, well organised and well worth the 1165km x 2 trip. This event is going to get big! Perhaps hold the Medio Fondo on the Sunday so we can ride both https://www.strava.com/segments/11952158

Oops, wrong thread

I have absolutely no interest in the length of anyone else's wire

Lots of fun

You sure you did not trip over your wire while it was charging

Nee dis die deworm way

You took the words right out of my mouth!

Not to be funny or anything, but you haven't been riding much the Last 4 Weeks, that's why your Hr is so high

4hrs a week 70< avg should not be a problem, that's considering an hour a day and rest in between for recovery during a weeks training. 8hrs+ a week avg will be more difficult to achieve for me which I doubt I will be able to achieve with 70%< HR week on week for say a month or two as I'll need more recovery time to keep my HR above 70 on each ride. Not sure even for how long I will be able to maintain 70%< HR on a single ride.

Out of interest, how many hours a week do you ride for Myles?

70%, 80%, or 90% is no issue, for 5 minutes 10 minutes 30 minutes or an hour? The question is, for how long and for how many consecutive days? Is it good to train like that every day, logically I personally don't think so.

The problem I have with Discovery is the way it's implemented, in short: They should award more points when your HR is above 50% the longer you ride. Riding for a long time 70< HR of your max everyday is ridiculous, will take you that much longer to recover and I think dangerous. They should also award you for every ride for that day, not choose just one. This way we all get fit by training more and longer! Simply put e.g. 50< HR for 30 minutes = 50 points 50< HR for 60 minutes = 100 points 50< HR for 90 minutes = 150 points 50< HR for 120 minutes = 200 points 50< HR for 150 minutes = 250 points 50< HR for 180 minutes = 300 points 50< HR for 210 minutes = 350 points 50< HR for 240 minutes = 400 points 50< HR for 270 minutes = 450 points 50< HR for 300 minutes = 500 points 50< HR for 330 minutes = 550 points 50< HR for 360< minutes = 600 points Nothing to do with freedom of speech, it's common sense and my two zim cents

Can't wait, nog net 9 slaapies

Soooo, how long do we have to wait for Contego to decide on the first segment to tackle? While we wait let's listen to Montego Bay...

I can't wait to go ride Oubergpass when I'm in that area one day.

Forget road rage, check bulldozer battle!This battle between bulldozers in Northern China over the weekend takes road rage to a completely new level. According to media reports, the conflicting parties were from rival construction companies that were competing for business. Authorities are investigating the incident.

There's a few, all on dirt roads Oubergpass - It's part of one of the oldest passes and the original Forgotten Highway through the barren Karoo, the original diamond route between Ceres and Kimberley: https://www.strava.com/segments/1312192 Merino Bastard - It's never ending! https://www.strava.com/segments/11388836 Swartbergpass (North side) - Long and steep! https://www.strava.com/segments/832253 Swartbergpass (South side) - Long and steep! https://www.strava.com/segments/1289379 Edit: Don't waste your time on short little twisty Strava segments for the Videos, not the ones that will allow you recovery time after a few hours and attempt again the same or next day. Select the ones a bit off the beaten track and the ones that you'll feel in your legs many days after attempting it

IOMTT only 3 weeks away! Facebook link https://www.facebook.com/suter500 27 April 2016 Successful first ride for Ian Lougher and his TT-Suter MMX 500. The Welshman was really happy with the handling of the motorbike. „I expected the 2stroke also a little bit more diabolic, but the riding of the bike is very smooth. Still a beast, but big pleasure. And in fast corners it’s unbelievable handy“. The Suter factory team looks now forward to the next test days middle of May. #suterracing #suter500 #mmx500

Wonder what the new Bugatti Chiron will do, much better looking and classier sports car.

Ah damn, wanted to ride the Medio Fondo on the Thursday before the main event on Saturday
