I stayed in Woodstock when I was a youngster, even I knew you did not go to Giempie Street.

Not sure, I have not monitored it for a while. I will test tomorrow morning.

Assuming you are healthy and not coimng down with something... This group ride, have you done it before recently? Your normal rides, how fast do you normaly ride them compared to the group ride? Perhaps the group were riding to fast for what you are used to. To improve you need to add some variety, harder / faster efforts into your training twice a week and ensure you give your body chance to recover by taking a day off from training once a week. I do feel as if I coming down with something, although I am not sick, just got the sneezes. The group ride was a first, but the pace was not that fast, was a mtb ride on dirt road and some tar. I just felt really terrible, I ride with cytomax and water. I dont use gels when I train. I do try and do harder efforts every so often and on those rides I feel tired but good after I get back. Could it be that I am just over tired? I do sometimes work till late in the evening/ early morning. Maybe I should take it easy the rest of the week and try on Monday to have a pedal and see how I feel.

I went on a group ride yesterday. Now it's not that I feel unfit, I normally ride 20k's a day, just as a means to an end and 60 or so on the weekend. Yesterday I could not manage 9 k's, I felt as if I was going to die, my HR went to 189 normally my highest is 180+-. Is there any tips I can get from you guys, to get fitter? Yes I am a bit overweight, but not obese as yet. I just felt yesterday that I was giving my all and I still could not complete the route, I turned back and managed only to do 12k's. Is there something I am missing as a vital role to my fitness levels? Some days I can do my 20k route in under 45min and other days I struggle to do it in an hour. What gives?

What The F$%k!!!

Prepsol is the stuff to use. You can even put a capful in your washing.

Agreed The MTB looks supercool!!!! But the road bike is too much. White tape would be better even Black would be OK.

I will be there too. So count me in. Not staying for the braai though.

Theoretically you could use the same shifters, adjust the screws on the FD so that it does not move past the last chainring, thereby resticting it to only one click up or down.

That a great looking bike. Nice

Jagwil, there is a shop in Wierda Park called Swat, they have an Airpistol that shoots pepper pellets. It's on Theuns Van Niekerk street. Here is another type you can look at http://www.metzco.co.za/pepperguns.htm TomTrek2009-02-03 00:55:48

No, but you can get a carbon/plastic peppergun that shoots little pepper filled paintballs. Weighs less than 300g.

Most Yale shops sell them, or you could go to your local firearms dealer, they deal with most things of a "security" aspect

Jagwil, where exactly did it happen? Is it under the bridge next to the railway line that you can see when you come from Irene on Botha ave? I may want to have a peddle through there with a few mates.

PM me your email addy

While it is unfortunate that there were cars stolen at the event, nobody is saying if the cars were stolen in the designated parking area. We, much like a lot of other cyclists parked at the venue. And on our late return, there weren't more than 20 cars left in the parking area near the pens, were greeted by a security gaurd ( female) that had been at work since 4 in the morning. Also we were asked to turn off the ignition, and restart the car, before we could proceed out of the parking. So bottom line is were the stolen cars inside or outside the designated parking area?
