  1. Awesome race once again. Chuffed with a sub 2h30 this year. Weirdest moment of the race, passing the tandems (I suspect there was an altercation of some sort) and the lady on the back decided to vent her anger towards me screaming that "if you're so damn fast you should start earlier".....I was riding VA
  2. No pun intended? "He said he has carried insulin syringes throughout his cycling career and that he used them to lance his saddle sores, a common ailment among cyclists."
  3. GREAT GREAT to see some Saffers will be lining up for the XCO!
  4. Hahaha, what a cool preview. How he manages to keep chatting and feeding info through all of that is insane.
  5. Big respect. Even more so to find out she had a crash pre-race, blacked out, and probably rode the race with a concussion! Nee donner, I don't take two stairs at a time when I nudged my head on the car door, never mind Nino-lining a xc course to victory. That chick has a great pair of .... legs
  6. Without a doubt, I was screaming that last lap when the dropped the bomb....and then dropped Abso. Nino rode like a champ! I have enjoyed the 3way Nino / Abso / Jaro have been treating us to, so was sad to see Jaro so 'nowhere'.
  7. Think its highly dependent on the course, I big climbing race like this Max is probably the rider to go with. Just go back to Sabie Classic to see what I mean.
  8. This is just amazing, I reckon I train pretty hard and then you see that! Mad!
  9. TSS 785, IF 0.81
  10. 560TSS, 0.71 IF - Just maintaining
  11. Ben with the amount you've lost I don't know where you want to shed more KGs...but in any case, have you tried combining the cycling with weights? I do weights 3-4x a week and it does wonders in keeping the BF in check.
  12. Hey Ben, considering you kind of want to maintain its hard to build a goal into a TSS based system, but brilliant work on building up from Jul onwards! If you keep going like that keeping your TSB in moderate sub-zero levels with periods of recovery, you are doing your fitness a great deal of good. Its never a short term plan, fitness/power is built over time, if you keep focus you'll start picking the fruits. Sadly, at a point gains become marginal and you have to ask how much time are you willing to invest to break through....
  13. That bottom lip seems extremely un-aero.....
  14. Same reason we eat spicy food
