Anyone going from city center?
I need a lift and willing to pay for petrol and breakfast.
I am no doc and its very good that you'll be going to the folks with the little piece of paper
.
But here's my not so medical advise: I know it's seen as a girly exercise and that you may see it as a waste of valuable riding time but get into some Yoga to get those hip flexors and lower back more flexible. The more time you spend riding the tighter the hips, hamstrings etc. become. I have lower back issues and nothing works as well as a proper yoga session
Hi Rob
I’m completely up for it. Actually I was supposed to do stretching exercises a few times per week and turned those session into core exercises!
From now on I’ll make sure to focus only on stretching
Seeing a doctor again tomorrow to do more blood test. The first results showed on some values that I might have an inflammation / infectionFirst off, go and make an appointment at a gastroenterologist. Save yourself the money and go direct.
I had many similar issues and after the specialist sent me for tests it was determined that I have Crohn's disease. Don't waste time, go and find out what the issue is.
I can guarantee you that you have a certain amount of inflammation in your gut, whether that is from food, pressure on your intestines from exercise or a bit of both, go and make sure.
My 2c
It’s been a few months that I been having a pain in the lower abdominal area. the first times was not really painful and I would get it once in a while, then with time it started to be more frequent and more painful,at the point where it’s now constant and when I get it I just run out of energy and need to get a painkiller to be able to do normal routine things. The pain happens most of the times after lunch so I been thinking for a few weeks that the problem might have been something that I been eating and thought it might be the IBS, Therefore i been paying close attention to what I eat and been having a food diary. But it didn’t help as I’m still in pain. I’ve randomly seen a physiotherapist and after doing some testing on me he suggested that I might have my psoas inflamed. Connecting the dots I noticed that I been getting the pain mostly after the days off from the bike where I do core exercise,moreover it’s since September that I’m riding a new bike, where the saddle position is of 1 cm pushed towards compared to my other bike. In conclusion, can a different saddle position impact so much the psoas?
I also need to add that it’s since August that I been doing a lot of endurance rides and spending a lot of time on the bike.
I’m just trying to figure out why after a few years riding the bike where I never had a problem I’m having this horrible pain in my lower abdominal area.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks a lot. How much should 60 min massage cost? so I have an idea
Just wondering if any of you could suggest me a place to have a good sport massage
Thank you

2h34. From what I remember it was hard all the way especially the pothole road. I was in little groups chasing back a couple of times, longest after the pothole section. The train of cars behind the bunch helped a lot with that. By the time we got to Vissershoek I was toast.
My FTP is about 320w. Maybe with 350 its easier?
Well done, 2h34 min is a great time. My FTP is definitely not there so it makes sense 
Those videos are cool. I always seem to end up riding in the same position as you. I was $67. Got dropped at the 4-way stop before Vissershoek.
what was your finish time?
Did it get easier after I got dropped or was it as bad?
Sharing the video of the race. I started on $, got dropped at about 50km

Cool @Americo
When you are above 400 watts in the first 10 mins and the head of the race just stays away in the cross winds
@babse in the green lid at 2 mins
I’m fighting with my bike at 2’40”, wearing black
I died a 100 deaths on Sunday
I really felt the blood in my mouth, definitely too much for me. Not sure if I didn't position myself well or if the watts are just not there. But I have to say that it was a good training ride
Anyone with a GPX file if the race?
Do we really have to put both boards on our bikes?? Seems a bit overkill.
I'd like to know as well.
Just wondering if any of you got a GPX file of the new route.
Thanks a lot guys!
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a place where to print a Garmin Virb Ultra Cage. The original one I got makes a very annoying noise when I record videos while cycling. So I'm looking to make my own.
I already got the file designed, just need someone to print it for me
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thank you
Yes, sounds like valves are rattling inside carbon rims
No it's the garmin virb holder. I can't find a way to fix it
Do i understand this Cyclosportif thing correctly?
you ride the same course every time, sometime clockwise sometimes anti clock wise?
yes, that's right
Ahem, may I suggest one of these nifty valve stickers?

Are you referring to the constant noise on the video that is driving me crazy?
Also, your bike handling is pretty top notch!
Trust me, I freaked out! A good friend and teammate just had a bad accident at DC and I was like "here we go again"
Very tense race until the climb, some okes were doing absurd things, one of them took 5 min to pull out some food "apple" from his pocket.

Hi guys,
I was riding right after the cyclist who crashed, been lucky to move in time and catch it on video.
Hope no one got hurt badly
