I started sneezing and coughing on Friday so did not ride Saturday. Took some Benylin on Sunday and went for a very easy 40km ride. Got home and wiped out on the bed for 8 hours! Got up to have hot bath, felt a bit dizzy. Next thing flat on the floor! Slept it off and feeling a bit better today.
No riding for me for the week!
So now I have to wait until the end of the year. Was about to trade my 2013 Scultura EVO DA in for a 2015 Reacto.
1969 Omega Flightmaster. Passed down from my dad.
Interesting story on how my dad got this watch. Some of you older guys may remember the Charcoal Haven Restaurant near South Beach in Durban. We owned that.
Well, for a week, an out-of-town customer came in every night an would order a T-Bone steak and a beer. He always paid cash. Then, on the last night, when it came time to pay the bill, he realised he had forgotten his wallet at his hotel, so he left this watch and a massive solid silver bracelet as security while he walked back to the hotel to fetch it. We never saw him again! Back then, the bill for his meal would have been less than R10.00!

Finally! Was wondering when we were going to see these boys grace us with their presence.

Where is Wikileaks when you need them!
I popped in to PPA yesterday on the way to the airport back to Durban yesterday to look at the new shirts.
Very nice! Good quality and nice slim fit. Sizing is a bit on the small side (your will need to get 1 size up from your normal shirt size) but they look very cool. Bought 1 for each of the 5 of us in my morning training group.
The yellow is not the same as the old 1.5m shorts. It is now a Lumo yello.
Quite a clever tweak to the old "Stay alive at 1.5" campaign given that the law in Cape Town is now only 1.0m gap. Think I might just buy one of these.
For when you tell your wife you're about to spend R100k on a new bike and she says, "iyour dreams"!

I managed to use my Racetech chip in KZN at the Karkloof - they just reprogrammed it somehow, ony took a minute.
Just remember to have it re-programmed back to Racetec before your next race. When they did that at Karkloof, it would have wiped off the previous data.
Contact Dragon Sports. They are the agents.

I had to dig to find his details when my Mavic wheels had a problem, but if you nag him enough, he will make a plan. Just a warning, these guys do NOTHING for NOTHING. Customer goodwill is not high on their agenda.
I looked for the red and yellow helmets ever day. Baie Trots.
When I get the hunger pangs, I just drink water. Lots of it. I try fill my stomach so that I don't feel hungry. I also drink a glass of water before eating and another while eating. Dieticians used to frown on this, now suddenly they are advocating it.I find things like green tea help to suppress the appetite. My problem is more volume than what I am eating, I like my food!
I put on weight at all the stage races I did, even berg and bush when it was over 40 degrees. The moment I do a hard cycle, all I want is food and lots of it.
I've found doing squad training is really helping. 40 min of high impact swimming and i'm finally shedding the kilo's.
Will these morons ever learn?
You mean this?a Performance airflow intake, nice
Now they just need to add forced induction
I can't remember the name of it, but I once saw a device that you use to make breathing harder so you can exercise the intercostal muscles. Then when you breathe normally without it it's much easier.
By the way, my buddy who is a cardiologist, says any high fat diet is just bad news!
I lost 25kgs doing a combination of LCLowF and 150 -200kms of a cycling a week. The 1st 15kgs took 6 months, the last 10kgs took a year. When I got to my goal weight, I started taking USN LipoXT (only 2 capsules before breakfast M-F), as, as thin as I was (75kgs, 179cm), I could not lose the tummy. I also started letting some carbs back into my diet (2 slices of low GI bread at lunch and some potato or pasta at night).
I have since lost most of the tummy but have only gained 2 kgs and have now managed to keep that weight for 2 years. Even when I cut down to 100kms a week in winter, I reckon the LipoXT helped keep the winter layer away.
However, you have to find the balance amongst all three AND adapt to an new eating/exercise lifestyle to keep the weight off permanently.
Same problem for me. Training wheels are Fulcrum PRC's and Racing wheels are Mavic Cosmic SL's. 3 turns of the barrel adjuster either way. Forgot to do it this morning and bike sounded like a tractor!
Just heard on Vuelta commentary that Giovanni Pinarello, the founder of Pinarello (the real ones) passed away yesterday at age 93. Team Sky all wearing black patches on their sleeves is a sign of respect.
I'm confused. Do you poep in the shower???????Its just to get going, usually done by "Dispense into palm and rub hands together. Apply shampoo to wet hair, massaging scalp......."
No ways boet! Of the 106kms over 44kms are uphill including the first 16kms. There is a common belief that Durban might actually be higher than PMB!shova is downhill,
this is a windy sufferfest where its every man for himself
Now they just need to add forced induction
