  1. Sounds like you need to rest a bit more and hit the events fresher!
  2. It would probably just be VERY uncomfortable for you and you would ride quicker to get home.
  3. Swimming is probably the BEST form of active recovery. Swimming is never ever bad for you, its by far the best sport in terms of overall body workout.
  4. Thanks for the correction RE Church Stick it out champ, it will come No that's not what she said.
  5. Here is my 2 cents. You said you doing challenge Cape Town. When was the last time your road the roads in the cape? There is a HELL of a lot of climbing on that route and a 29kmh average speed will be very impressive indeed. From what I've heard about the course in PE is that the Challenge course is waaaaaaaaaaay tougher compared with far more climbing. If you want to get faster join a fast group, but if I were you I would be focusing on riding 5/6 hour rides with a few mountains thrown in for good measure. Dont worry about the speed, worry more about the climbs and the speed will sort itself out. There will be plenty parts on the course where 30kmh+ will be easily achievable.
  6. Aaaah the joys of varsity Good seeing you again bro, small world isn't it. Will probably go a little longer on Thurs as its a religious holiday and church starts a little late. Laters
  7. Bottom of Suikers & back. usually back by 07:20 Pace is not too fast, average of around 24/25 depending. Objective is getting out and riding, not setting PB's Leaving tom morn 6am Cnr Beach & Marais
  8. ditto
  9. 6am sharp corner of Beach & Marais Road Seapoint Sien julle daar
  10. Wait until tomorrow when you grow an extra finger an toe
  11. Personally I would go for the tallboy but when you buying a bike you need the one which talks to you and makes you want to ride.
  12. Its similar to the japanese vs german debate for cars
  13. Nice frame! Enjoy
  14. Ill take that as a compliment then
  15. Yeah I bought a magic light from them, great service and price. In terms of the price of magic lights you wont beat them. I tried everywhere and they were significantly cheaper.

    Give troisport a call, they have a tri club. The cradle is FULL of triathletes on Saturdays. One group called Fleet train there each and every Saturday. Google it, run by a guy Freddy Lampret
  21. Go to settings and click on seek sensor, it should do a search and find it. If that doesn't work then check for the little red light as suggested by JB. If that doesn't work I think its probably faulty.
  22. Personally I would run a 3x10 crank. I like to use all my gears and yes that does include granny when the gradient gets severe. With an event like Cape Pioneer which is said to rival Epic, you don't want to exhaust yourself just because you have the wrong crank. Keep your options open. It comes down to how you ride. Like I said I use all 3 rings depending on the terrain and generally I'm a pretty quick climber so using granny is by no means chickening out. so my 2cents is spend the extra and get urself a decent 3x10 chainring set. When you kakking off some huge mountain at the end of a long day you wont regret it.
  23. Gonna ride to the bottom of suikers and back tom morn. Leaving cnr of Beach and Marais Road in Seapoint @ 6am. Any takers? Pace is social, +- 24km/h average Chubba should also be there unless he comes up with an excuse
  24. We ride from beach road on seapoint on Tuesday and Thursday mornings @ 6. Generally to the bottom of suikers and back else a nightmare hill route involving the glen, signal hill and table mnt. PM me if you keen
  25. Machine wash is fine. Only ever used the machine and never had any hassles. Chubba's point RE wiping your bum is however valid
