I was 30-40 mins faster coming from mtb with slicks to doing it on a road bike. From 3:40 to 3:08.

It works !

It takes about 3 weeks for your red cells to get to "normal" Maybe donating platelets or bone marrow is the answer. They don't touch you red cells. Thanx for the replies, I think I have done my bit in donating over 50 units.

Hi there, I am a regular blood donar, but ever since I started cycling more seriously, I find I take a long time to recover to a "race level" after a donation. Those red cells take some time to grow again ! I am concidering stopping the donating. Anyone out there with similar feelings ?

Got both scotty. It is like having a road bike, a mountainbike(DS 26'er) and THEN a lekka "dikwiel" 29'er to ride on those plaaspaaie ! All Horses for courses hey !

Shame, all these 29'er owner's, constantly trying to justify their purchase eish !!!!

Yep, we are entering the season of "cyclist down" posts.

Podium finish.

Yep, that's a winning combination. I run my steed like that. Did Tokai singletrack on Tuesday with Nico Phitzemaier and kept up to the man down the fast singletrack. Tyre pressure is key though. 1.6 - 1.8

From Andrag is 100% Start time 18:45 also perfect.

Where will the group meet Popeye ?

I am also in f for "fast" group !

Funny how most Giant riders never say anything about their machines...they just know... Then we get those who gets converted..welcome mate !

Does this mean no night ride on Wednesday ?

The Stormers cleaned out their trophy cabinet, hence the so called volcano cloud.... Sooooo may the best team loose !

Heard on the radio this morning that Lance is riding in the Elite group leaving at 06:15. I suppose it is the best group for him to ride for charity !

There is just no point .......
