Very dangerous for you to do an event like this knowing that you are not well. I really hope you did not damage your heart because this is a recipe for heart issues in the future.........

083 693 31 32 This person tried to scam me when I wanted to buy a puppy. I know this is a bike related tread but one never knows what these scum are up to!!

Your last sentence makes more sense.......imagine the road conditions after all the heavy traffic from the previous weekend....read MUDFEST GALORE ..........etc etc etc

If I look at the weather forecast for the weekend it looks pretty much the same than the previous weekends weather...rain from Willowmore right through to Jbay....

No sir its a extended cab Toyota bakkie (automatic)...........

I thought it was expensive to fill my Toyota with R 1280 per tank now its R 1780 , R 500 more , and it must come from some where...........

I have also got this system at home and similar at my office but with solar on the roof. Touch wood it is more than enough for my needs. In my office I run 8 Computers, 2 printers , Fridge , and all the lights ONLY the Aircons are not on the system.......load shedding is a breeze.....🤭

Good day all Hubbers, my search skills , is as good as the government's promises for service delivery............i am looking for a Hubber from which I bought a projector from. He is in the "electronics" game and advice me which projector to buy................this was quite a few years ago....... Please help me to find this gentleman

Maybe he is looking for a Business Partner............🙈

I am just curious to know , How important is the time you take to finish an event for you, and why?

I am just curious to know maybe some Hubbers experienced the symptoms before going down with Covid. I was on a Traineroad program which I followed 90% to the T , as to be expected the program tapered towards my "race/adventure" date. The week before my adventure I battled to complete the intervals and bailed on more than one occasion due to "fatigue/weak/tiredness" my heart rate did not show any abnormalities i.e. spiking or elevated more than normal. Then my first day of my adventure my HR was very high and it caused me to bail halfway on the course ( What I did "wrong"(out of the norm) the first day I had a huge supper the night before (Carbo Loading) and a big breakfast , dressed with a base layer and cycling top which made me very HOT, got rid of the top somewhere in the race. The next day was also a tough day but I indulged MUCH less and finished the race, HR not out of the ordinary . Then for the last day I repeated my previous regime and finished my adventure , HR actually on the low side 130....... that was on the Sunday. We left for home all fine and Tuesday I woke up with a funny feeling and the doc confirmed my fears that I am Covid positive. My question though could the Covid bug lingered for so long in my body and only downed me after my immune system took a knock during my adventure?

I just want some guidance here please, I get up at 4h30 drink my coffee , do my morning routine and then onto the IDT. I do 100% of my training fasted, I am following a TrainerRoad program and lately last 2 weeks before my "race date" there is a lot of overs and unders intervals and I must admit I am battling during my sessions, could it be due to not fueling before hand? I have a normal oats breakfast after my sessions..........am I under fueling ? Sessions vary between 60 - 90 mins.

Thank you Morné!! When is your next therapy session, i will like to join, remenber it is me riding the bike and not my wife....maybe i can send her for the sessions , because i always listen to my wife.......

I bought a Farr Gravel bike but I am careful/scared to mention it because of the bad wrap Farr is attracking lately...............this message will automatically disappear in 90 mins...........🙈

I am finished after a 6.5 hour week on the IDT doing TraineRoad, how will I managed more?

Maybe another option ? If the going to sleep might mean , dead due to power surge , any technician can give you a damage report for you to claim from your insurance. Might help to cover some costs of a new Kickr Snap 1 ?

Thanks for all the "replies/ideas/answers" i knew i had to come and speak to the tribe to get a better feel and understanding....keep the rubber on the gravel.....enjoy the weekend on your bikes!! Let my digging continues !!

They are a bit out of my budget....nice looking bike though.....

I think I have read this whole thread about three times , there are some beautiful bikes on parade here and I was also thinking of going the Gravel Grinder route, I do 95% of my cycling on the normal district roads on my Giant FS 29 er. Last Saturday doing my normal route and chatting with my friend the conversation lead to this topic again. Then whilst chatting we hit a corrugated patch which nearly threw me of my bike......The thought of getting a Gravel Bike took a sudden and huge nose dive again !! Now back to my choices. I do have an old Road bike which I am to scared to use because I think the wheels will just disintegrate underneath me , due to metal fatigue or just old age( the wheels not me) I do the occasional road race but less so because of my old Road Bike, I am playing with the idea of getting a Gravel Grinder which can do duty as my road bike when the need is there and also do some Gravel Grinding on weekends. Now for some advice , by the way I was looking at the Rook Bikes and the 11 speed is due end off April and it fits into my "budget" I am on the heavy side 95 - 100 kg and wants to enjoy my cycling, if I feel my body aching after my weekend cycles on my Mountain Bike how much worse will it be on a bike with no suspension at all , am I just wasting my time about dreaming of a Gravel Grinder? Please talk to me clever people!!

We need Mob justice , I will pay all my TAX money towards that.

This stuff makes you much faster remember that!!😉

pm me your cell number I am also in the Valley...

lets make the hub ungovernable !!! and log out all together till our DIMANDS are met............😆

Maybe time for a new bike....😂
