Then, the assertion that not all calories are equal is even more important put this way, riding DC eating just NikNaks will be problematic I suspect, you may find more success using something else. I hope that helps

not all calories are equal. Try and get your daily caloric requirements from salad, and the only muscles you're building is your jaw, and those that aid peristalsis.

this is true, but the body can leverage carbs far easier than fat.

DOAC posted this in the past few hours - Benjamin Bickman seems to know his stuff. This, with the info here about IF should make for a sustainable and interesting life

here's an anecdote - after living in Hout Bay and riding Chappies 100's of times, I beat my PR by 90sec on a ride where I was fully fasted after 4 days - that would be espresso, water and salt for 96hours. That's a fair chunk on what's quite a short segment. It could be explained by all my other times being sluggish, or it being a particularly good weather day, but my experience showed a different story. I can't explain it, but it sure makes for interesting thinking I hasten to add that kind of thing never happened again Why did I do that? I wanted to find out about my body. The only way I could was to try it myself. No amount of reading, podcasts, or YouTube bingeing will help. What works for others may not work for you, and what works for you today might not work tomorrow. Be open-minded and curious and reject all sacred cows

this guy's been on my radar for some time.

I suppose it's relative, but when doing a run into town, I seldom get away with under 400km for the day, so 200 ain't so bad, and really, it *IS* the closest bike store to me

Well, if you're using the selfie camera, and start getting likes, it's because you're streaming live on Facebook...

An early start allowed me to head to Doolhof to meet @Mamil at the finish. What a thing to witness! A truly awesome gees from all at the venue. The first few finishers after 6am were a bit sketchy. Others were far more adventurous, showing some nifty skills on the wet grass. @Mamil did an awesome job and it was so lekker to soak in the vibes from all there. Well done to all that lined up in Bloem and super-kudos to all that made it to Doolhof - you are all legends!!! We're trying to convince @Mamil to enter something new as this dot-watching fever has us gripped in its talons!

I've bought from Trekinn (sister storefront). I chose the UPS shipping option. It was a bit pricey for the shipping, but better than getting my stuff into the SAPO abyss. It's hassle-free, but keep your eyes open for what items attract duties.

Dot-watching has taken on a new dimension. @Mamil definitely playing a tortoise/hare game. Hopefully getting little sleep won't be a punishment in the coming days

The story of the big bad wolf comes to mind... and now, we have the huffing and puffing. another story that comes to mind is that of the golden-egg goose. how many swings of the hatchet does Strava need? I mean, they've been hacking and hacking for some time now. Then again, building your 'everything' on Strava reminds me of 2 out of 3 piggies. Imagine if Garmin had seamless integration into their ecosystem...?

It never was a sign. I see the issue here as a swing that triggered a response/reaction. It's often better to smile and wave. There's little to be gained wearing dancing slippers with a bike between my legs - I'm always losing that one. Don't be a dwiss, be lekker

we all know the red bike is fastest

My 2c is to take a photo and approach CL with the details and proof.
