Low Joe save your energy and do the Springs ride Sun.

Sounds like you getting just plain lazy HR. Next you know you will take your dogs for a walk like this

That's the way i understand it as well. In this range (60 to 70) you are developing your basic endurance and aerobic capacity and is the best zone for burning fat compared to the effort you put in. Other zones will also burn up your fat but you will have to work harder to burn up the same amount

How' that "signup" (excuse the pun) account set up looking ShaunH.

Forgot to add i also use tyre liners.

No permatubes . If you are going to go with slime in your tube get a decent tube as there are good and bad. I got mine from Woodstock cycles (cant recall the name) and have been riding for over a year with them, never failed me. The tyre has even suffered a nail going into it and sealed. But maybe i'm just very lucky.

Get Stan's or similar and stop phaffing around with tubes " Ouch "But don't throw your tubes away, you should always have one on you for when your Stan's fails in the field. " I agree, not if but when.

You think

Sorry forgot you mentioned Rhodes already. Had to make an emergency stop there to fit new front brake blocks, kinda lost mine somewhere on the route and only found out when i pulled them and nothing happened. They sorted me out nicely

HR why you no in your shop Sat ??

Lets all focus on tommorow and our victory, i have it on good authority the following people amongst other are behind the springboks Mandella The whole of 95 squad Aussie coach John Connoly Legendary wing David Campese Virtually the entire French team (surprisingly ) And all the black's, white, coloured's and indians i saw in green today.

What do you call 15 grumpy men sitting around a table watching the rugby on TV The All Blacks

BB deep rims are used if it rains and regular rims if its sunny, so i'm covering both angles. At least that what the guy who sold me the wheels told me

Looking at what she's holding onto she must be the hooker

Semi deep easton circuits, hairy legs.

QED (quod erat demonstrandum) is latin for "I rest my case" "I don't mind coming to work, but that eight hour wait to go home is nonsense."
