  1. That is the funny thing about strava If I took it as gospel then I am faster than Maroesjka Mathee and Asleigh Moolman Pasio. The pros need recovery rides too
  2. And that is why a 20km segment with at least three eina climbs is a decent yardstick if you boys really want to start measuring......
  3. It is worse than that sadly....he's just running in circles now P.S Stretchy-Pant....all the best with Comrades
  4. Ag no Ryan..... I thought you would relish Rock n roll (Rocky Horror) on the cyclocrossbike Well....I'm going to be there
  5. She is an inspiration
  6. What were you smoking in your tent at Sani????
  7. I want this bar tape!!!!!
  8. We were not laughing last night. We were busy riding track and then suddenly all the lights went out and we were left in the pitch dark. Frikken scary ...I was going at 35km\h at that moment and could suddenly see NOTHING. Unscheduled loadshedding.....yay.
  9. You are actually very clever with the CX bike. Using the district roads and the few tar bits you can link pmb cascades, cedara, hilton, Howick, Karkloof and St Ives in one ride. Not to mention the beautiful Currys post road, Dargle and Karkloof roads that when they turn from tar to dirt us on roadbikes have to turn around and you can carry on!
  10. I think is is about 10kg.... About knee height. We filled it when we first moved in eight months ago and it still feels quite full. When we have no power.....I often sit outside have coffee and brush the dogs. They are looking very shiny and well groomed lately.
  11. You will not be sorry. I have been cooking on gas for the last 8 months and refilled gas bottle only once. R220.00. Bargain. Plus when the lights are out we can at least have a hot meal. Must say yesterday we were without water for 24 hours. When the power went off too I was irratated beyond words. Then I remembered that so many people live like this daily with no electricity and running water in their houses.
  12. Question: when people generally refer to their w/kg are they referring to the 3 or 20 min test? I've only done the 3 min test.

  14. Well done Uni!!!!
  15. Is there a relationship between people that have larger volume hearts having lower maximum heart rates? I heard something along these lines recently and wondered if it is true.
  16. Little ride on Howick Trails this morning. Climbed up singletrack and made a stop by Howie, our resident cyclist gnome.
  17. Was there this morning. Had a great time, some really good racing!!
  18. Strava does have the "you should follow....." with some suggestions of other strava users, (some in other countries) on the right hand side of the page. I assume this is how they found you.
  19. I hope you guys get to do this more often. For a mum to leave her kids in safe care and go for a ride, is like being set free.
  20. We used to have this problem at our old house before we moved six months ago. My female cat, is very passive. We had a neighbour who had lots of sausage dogs, and lots of cats. Basically if the cats wanted some peace to do their business in the garden or roam around they would come to our house. We had no dogs at the time to chase the cats away. Problem was a large male tom that would come into our house and bully our cat. One day we came home to blood all over the kitchen and balls of my cats fur pulled out (my cat is beige, the tom was black) and urine everywhere. My cat was beaten and hiding under my bed. This was the last straw. Sadly, when I spoke to the neighbour, she was very non chalant about the affair, it was the one time I really lost my cool and threatened to shoot an animal. We got a dog a while later and that sorted the issue out.
  21. Vettie, you are close enough to sneak away for a weekend, jy moet kom!!
  22. In otherwords......brother will be moving in soon as well! Mark my words!
  23. I also enjoyed my rumble with rene. Got a nice black thigh now.
