I was also there yesterday for the first time since doing the teak trek back in april last year. Fantastic ride, awesome trails and really well marked.

As winter is approaching and the morning are getting darker i am going to have to start using an indoor trainer. can anyone offer training programs they have used with an IDT. I would like to have some sort of goal / objective rather than just getting on and riding.

Yes in future ill be sure to race to work, get here before anyone else then waste my time sitting on the hub.

Surely if the bike is secured on the hanger, and tied down so it cant swing around there should not be a problem. If the bike cant move, whats the difference between the rack and a wall hanger.

Please help with some advice. On longer rides i tend to get an intense pain between my shoulder blades. I believe this is related to the stem, length and angle. In addition to changing the stem, is there any exercise you can do to help.

You didn't do to well in trying to hide the brand there.

I asked if there was a way to stop receiving these calls cause i get them often, particularly from cell providers. I was told you can sms your ID no to 34385 to opt out.

Calve Machines

Thanks. Will try it out

Is that the way to go. To roll the bike forward, measure the distance of the rotation and input that as the wheel size??

Is anyone using a Polar CS300 what can help with wheel settings. I am using the 2070mm setting as per the manual for my 700x23 road tyre and it seems to be under reading. I got 98 kms for the 103kms fast one. Any ideas???

Is it really worthwhile to upgrade my frame. I am currently riding a Raleigh RC3000, alloy frame, carbon fork, full Tiagra groupset and Shimano Rs10 wheelset. I can get a RC7000 full carbon frame for R4000 new, and transplant all other bits from my RC3000 across to the new frame. My question is... Is it worthwhile, will it make a difference??? Any opinions???

I spray mine with the pressure washer when i'm cleaning my bike.

I was talking about the road race.

Anybody know where to enter the Emperors Palce classic. Cant seem to find anything on cycle lab or mtn cycling. There is nothing on the Emperors website, and google just seems to find reference to the 2009 race.

Please can someone help with some advice. At what point do you start over training? My training program is to ride 3 hours during the week (4 x 45min sessions) monday through thursday on a combination of indoor and spinning trainging (Sadly my schedule does not allow for during the week rides. Spinning allows for interval training, and indoor is a steady ride at Average of 70% HR> Friday is generally a rest day, and then Weekend rides on Saturday or Sunday monring. Most of the time one of the days would be a 3hr plus ride. If i ride the second it would be a shorter approx 1 hour ride. Total time 6-8 hrs p/week. My concern with the program is, am i doing to much. Any feedback anyone can offer would be apprciated. Thanks

Ha Ha. It was so frustrating. The guys at the shop didnt believe me till i took the computer there and showed them the average speeds etc.

Go for a Cateye Velo 8. They pretty inexpensive(Approx R300) and includes max, average, trip, odo, time etc. All basic, useful functions. The mounting was secure too. I never worried about losing it on a trail. Wired or wireless is your choice. My experience with ently level wireless computers was not great. Had a Tactix 2 wireless which would pick up signals from anything electronic. Sitting in my office my bike was doing 100km/h next to my desk.

The wind was bad on the N1, couldnt hide from it anywhere. What times did you guys manage.

Hello, I was wondering what those who took part thought about the OFM Classic on sunday?

Try Eagle Canyon Cycles on 011-795-4022. They have been great to me so far. Bikes always ready when they say it will be, no unexpected costs, and workmanship been fine. Jono Waddell2009-10-21 05:48:37

Hi Everyone, I want to place an order with CRC for a Polar HRM. Anyone had any bad experiences with them with regards to the order not arriving or being opened by post office. Had a bad experience once before with a package being opened by post office and items being nicked from it. Its a case of once bitten, twice shy now. Any feedback???
