Maybe have a chat with Maryke, she is on the hub and I think she would probably be the best one to help you with the specific goals you have and with your training. Maryks
He rode in the South one day and going up the hill just after the Lido Hotel I said to him "Am I hurting you yet"? I got a smile, I think he didn't say anything cause he was too tired to talk Anyways back to the subject. Give FRAIL some support!!!!!
Having said all of the above I will give USN their due with Epic Pro - it is brilliant to race with. Hellish expensive at R400 a tub which is why I say "race" with. There is no way average joe could afford to use this stuff in training without the threat of bankruptcy.
Yes a proper diet. No substitute for good healthy food. No tablet is going to increase your VO2 only training. Honestly I personally believe that the only supplement needed is on of electrolytes whilst training other than that - you want to recover, get some sleep!!
Gator Skins are on special at Cajees R285 each if you purchase 2 As for the tires - Gator skins all the way, may be a little heavier but you save on the intitial purchase price as well as on all the puncture repairs.
Quick sure sign of dehydration is a headache. The next day you normally feel lethargic. Not sure about the throwing up though, I don't think this is a result of being dehydrated.
Try adjusting your cleats using this method of mine Loosen your cleats enough for the cleat to slide around in the pedal and on the shoe. Get on the bike and ride for about 1km so the cleat can settle in its natural position according to your legs and feet. Stop the bike and slide your foot out the shoe gently. Tighten the 1 screw on the cleat which can be seen through the pedal. Remove the shoe and tighten the other two screws. Problem solved no more knee pain and cleats perfectly adjusted to your pedaling style. Obvioulsy you do each shoe individually or else getting off the bike could be pretty sporty.
Slightly related - I see the following on Saturday. 1 x Fat Guy riding a Raleigh RC 1000 - net worth 4K max 1 x Same Fat guy wearing - Assos Shirt, Assos Bibs and Sidi Shoes - net worth conservatively 5K. Someone needs their head read.
Manufacturing fault I would go with on this one. It has probably cracked on the initial weld due to a bad weld in the first place. Maybe look at the warranty. Other problem may be a weight issue but lets not go there right now.
K this seems to be the bit where the seat post goes inside. Is this the bit where the clamp goes? Anyways I am not sure I would want to weld this as it is already cracked on a weld spot. How's your insurance policy looking? Hope you haven't missed any payments.

Saw a guy on the N3 / N12 split yesterday - can't remember what the interchange is called - flipping death wish is all I can say with all the road works going on there and that intersection is busy at the best of times. Oh and the cop car which was traveling behind me blissfully carried on as if there was never a cyclist on a National Highway.
Keep the conti gators - there may be cheaper tires but you will replace them more than you will the gator skin - lets not get onto talking about tube costs for punctures. I think you will be robbing peter to pay paul. Cajees has a special on Gator Skins I think R285 each if you purchase 2
Iron Man 10th April 2011 Panorama Tour 29th April - 2nd May Not sure if I would have recovered enough to then go do Panorama as well - not sure if the bank account would have recovered either.
