    GCN+

    big fan! I've been an avid follower of GCN from their early days. 70% of what I've learned of riding and taking care of my bike, right up to building up my bikes is from GCN. SO GCN+ is taking that quality to a new level. Enjoying the races and docs thoroughly
  5. I mean why?
  6. nope. dont do virtual. refuse to. will go ride the route on my own and enjoy the view
  7. Broke 90 on Friday! A massive milestone for me! Got me pumped
  8. some strong contenders for todays race.
  9. been there man. distroyed my helmet in a head first impact with tarmac. always replace after impact. some brands offer a crash warrantee/discount. if yours has, use it. Dont risk it. ever.
  10. My pride and joy. It is still the American made frame. She came in at 7.8kg's when I first got her for a bargain. I changed the handlebars, stem, rings and cassette. So I'm guessing its around 8kg now. Running Ultegra 6700 (I think). Bit old, but still smooth as butter. Got some Black oval's from a fellow hubber and 11-28 at the back. Love this bike. Smoothest, most comfortable ride of all the bikes I have owned. I'll still take some nice, GCN-worthy photos at some point.
  11. mopkop, you know of group rides in Brackenfell. very much interested
  12. some guys here have a 1000post entry level for any form of business. I have become a convert when I heard another hubber (legit guy) was scammed by an imposter.
  13. Reach is easily solveable with a stem.
  14. started mid Jan with a Calorie counter app. along with GCN hiit sessions in the week and tits on weekend. dropped the first 5 kg (96 to 91) in relative ease in about 5 weeks. but have been bouncing between 90.4 and 90.9 for the last week. Frustrating. need to get to 85 as goal
  15. Love being back on the bike. Its been a rollercoaster the last year of lockdown, and stolen bike and company troubles. got a bargain on a Cannondale SuperSix October last year. And the first couple rides were horrible. I was overweight and damn unfit. The vettie in the white and brown is me. Mid-January, I changed my diet, started turbo HIIT sessions at night and pushing the km's over weekend. Dropped the kg's and got fitter. Still a-ways to but it feels amazing. On Saturday, I tackled Devonvale and Helshoogte. It was amazing. Good to be back

    Just subcribed yesterday... last minute FOMO. Caught the highlights of Neeuwsblad and KBK. and got lost in the documentaries - 80 days and the descend one. Good quality viewing that. I'm also weekly on the trainer with GCN training videos to great success, and the ones I see on GCN+ are going to be awesome. Looking forward to some suffering tonight. All in all. WInner chicken dinner
  17. i dont wear a mask while cycling. for the same reason I ride solo currently. its safer.
  18. guys my road bike was just stolen in the Brackenfell area Black unbranded carbon with white handlebar tape. white bottle cages. please keep an eye out
