    Surprisingly well. I have been doing a few slower rides with the wife, this year. My heart rate hasn't been that high in at least twelve months. Guess that made me well rested and fairly fit, though not super strong yet.

    Guess which bits were into the wind.

    Ditto. Was super tough. The start really caught me off guard. Should've known better in hindsight. I'll do it again. When I have 50W extra in the tank!

    Will be there tomorrow. Probably getting my ass thoroughly handed to me, but looking forward to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'll be a rolling speedbump with you. No way I can stick with the vets yet.

    Already signed up for the first one at the Voortrekker Monument. Looking forward to it. Registration on the day, I assume? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Keen to know this as well. If it's a reasonable price, might upgrade to an 820. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Pro carbon stem that's a bit shorter than the predecessor. New handlebar for Fizik and bartape. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Will taking part in this count towards any sort of seeding? Is there a website or something where one can see details regarding the series?

    Would be a cool venue for this. Keen to do it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ask Cwc about Stages. They sold DA versions for around R9500 a few weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How much do you weigh, if you don't mind me asking? Reason is, I run 90psi with my tubed tires. Think I'll go down to 80-85 with the tubeless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I've had Pro Ones fitted on my 420 aero 3 wheels. Haven't had an opportunity to try them out, but the weekend is coming! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'll tell myself that when I'm tasting blood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Finally picked up a Stages Ultegra. Looking forward to trying it out in the Cradle Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What exactly are they? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That would depend. If yiu are already close to your maximum potential, it can be a lot. If you've only just started training, it's probably not so impressive. My wife went up 30W in a month of training using power. That's from having virtually zero cycling fitness. After that first month, things have calmed down a lot and she would probably be happy with 5W gain per month. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not less than 7% currently, but it definitely would be if I dropped 5kg. It's super unhealthy to go to low single digit body fat numbers, and body builders will tell you how they lose muscle mass when cutting, if they are not super careful with diet and training. At my lightest I was 63kg. That was quite some time ago though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Also, not everybody has 5kg to lose. I'm 183cm and weigh 69kg. At 64kg, I'd have to lose some muscle mass, not that I have tons to begin with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I was thinking to myself that that is pure filth, as well.

    Where did he get the bear feet???
  23. Eon du Plessis
    Similar experience when the wife and I popped in. She was in a shopping mood and they could've sold her pretty much anything. Had to go look for someone to help us.

    The Edge 25 has this weird end on the device side. No clue why, but they chose to not use a standard USB port.

    In the same boat with the missus. Can't remember the cutoff but you need to do something like 20km/h average, to make it. After that first cutoff, things become a lot easier.
