The part I hate about tracking fitness !! Ran into issues with my iron levels dropping really low, and as a result had to skip any serious training since the start of this year. Now just watching the numbers go down :thumbdown:

Yeah for now, until they decide to change it again. 50000 points for single member 100000 points for member + 1 adult

We did our tests on the 29th, and was short 1900 points to maintain diamond. I am fighting with them on the BP measurements, it was in range but they have not allocated the points for it. Now back to gold after like 5 years...

With them allocating points from 2019 due to Covid, it messed up the totals if you were doing well last year and had better results from health checks etc. I also had a problem with a few things, was chatting to them on email but had no luck at all so eventually gave up. Best to log a query on their website, you should get a reply in a day or 2.

Awesome pics, well done !

They are great, have mine for almost 2 years now, and after trying a few other brands these are still my go to

their web page is down, or probably doesnt work. Have only had contact with them via Insta. Can get their contact number if you need, let me know. https://www.instagram.com/cadence_cycles/

Some easy riding today around Hillcrest, not feeling too lekker at the moment.

Haha , that 400 odd bucks might save you a few trips to the chiro... thats a big rock ! Cool pics

Spinny beat me to it. There's some guys on Insta - Cadence cycles in Krugersdorp

As you say, its really tricky this time around. I had a scare, 2nd Jan I got up with a bad fever and overall just felt drained. I slept the entire weekend thinking it was fatigue from festive500 and a few late nights. Lack of energy continued for a few days and I isolated for 7 days before doing a test which came back negative. I was certain I had it by the way I felt as it was the first time ever that I felt like this.

5am just works soo much better

this is a major problem for me too... wife sometimes goes crazy with sweets and treats which ends up being all for me as she doesnt touch anything sweet

its a tough one... I loved bread... anything toasted was my go to ... But I eventually managed to get off it after a while of trying hard. Now I have a slice or 2 of Rye every 2-3 weeks maybe.

Cant really compare IM events to road races with groups of 100+ all together.

ja no maybe

Festive 500 completed, 101km ride done today.

Its a personal accomplishment, not about winning anything. You can brag to your mates at the braai tomorrow that you rode 500km in 8 days.

87km to go after this mornings ride, which will also take me to 16000km for the year. 2020 has been my best year on the bike, my riding has improved big time after L5 lockdown and I got my weight down to the lowest in about 16 years. Festive 500 also helps to keep the weight in check and burn of those festive calories.

Dbn promenade sunrise, then onto the messy Durtbin roads with 2 punctures and had to call it a day after 50km.

From wet roads to a high of 33deg, this ended up being one of my better rides in a long time.

2 very expensive boxes

I let the machine warm up for 10 minutes or so, place the cups on the top to stay warm and leave the portafilter in to also warm up.
