    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

    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."

    GREAT GREAT to see some Saffers will be lining up for the XCO!

    Hahaha, what a cool preview. How he manages to keep chatting and feeding info through all of that is insane.

    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

    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'.

    What a great race and amazing track!

    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.

    This is just amazing, I reckon I train pretty hard and then you see that! Mad!

    Yep, that's where I bought mine

    I bought the 2013 Carbon 3 and did a few upgrades, first thing was to go to Crests so if you can do that from the start go for it! Echoing the comments regarding the lefty. I went from a SID Ti 100mm to the PBR 90mm and I can't believe the difference! That left it just amazing from absorbing vibration to taking big knocks. Honestly see if you can take a F29 for a test ride, maybe via Bruce's in PTA, but get your credit card ready when you come back.......

    Definitely +1 on those but - Optimal cadence is a function of mass as well, bigger legs will not spin as efficiently as smaller legs. So although there is a longer term benefit to riding at higher cadence, the upper limit of that is rider dependent. I've looked at my and my team-mate's power data, where I can sit forever on 90-92rpm he climbs more comfortably at 83-85rpm.

    Its all relative As you said the maths are correct, the watts is based on your rates of ascent, normalized rolling resistance and total weight. So on a perfect day up a smooth (road) climb it gets close, but there are variables strava cannot account for - Wind Variable rolling resistance Technical obstacles So under the same conditions, it can be an indication, but don't bargain on it.
  20. IdeJongh
    That happens, you can just do the altitude correction on strava, sorts it out

    Did that just say "WTB Chair" ???????????? :clap:

    Indeed, but does raise questions as quote from choachsci page - "However, even a small trace of Probenecid requires the posting of a positive banned-drug result but in all reality the amount would be useless for cheating"

    A cold normally causes body aches as well, that's not neck and up. What that normally refers to is sinus infections, I've done many a ride with a bad sinus infection, recovered quicker as a result. But I try and stay logical, if in doubt, rest up and recover.
  24. IdeJongh
    Neck and up, light exercise still ok. Below the neck.....rest up totally before getting back into it. Here breaking the body down with exercise reduces recovery time and puts you at risk for other complications. Just recovered from a cold, viral so nothing I could do but trying to manage the symptoms to limit the chance for secondary infections. Corenza C, vitamins, tea, sleep.

    Goeie ............... Niiiiiiice dude!!
