Shot dude!

Thanks Dale, this is some valuable feedback!! and yes the sense thing was a compliment! one last thing any advise on where to get UCAN? i have googled it and cant find anything local?

ahhh man why did you have to make so much sense??? unfortunately i have started the journey and am going to race so my next question then is the adaption process will be compromised so long as you are using carbs? i have to be realistic about my expectations/intentions. i am 37 years old and like most guys this age its a ongoing process to keep in shape, i have had to stop triathlons due to a back injury and i now find that with a normal diet and just cycling i cant shed any weight, i need to drop about 5kgs to be at my ideal race weight so i my motivation for going on a LCHF diet is 1. to loose some weight and 2. to avoid grains sugar etc, but from what i have read, it does not help to eliminate grains, sugar etc and still take in carbs in other forms so if i can live LCHF and race with carbs i will be very happy but i dont know if i will shed the kilos with this approach?

i like your approach of living LCHF but racing with carbs have you still managed to drop weight with this approach?

:clap: Thanks Martin, you have just made my day! i do however assume that weight loss will be compromised due to the intake of carbs? i dont even expect to have carbs after a ride but before and during i will be a happy man

Thanks jcza but I am more concerned about high intensity long distance rides/races what i dont understand is if i use carbs on the bike how does it effect Ketosis and how long would it take to get rid of the effects? the reason i am asking is everybody knows the saying that one bad meal wont make you fat but one good meal wont make you loose weight but does this kind of theory apply with LCHF? what i am thinking is to maintain a LCHF diet but use carbs on the bike... would this work?

guys please give me some advice: i am in my second week of LCHF and all is okay but i am really worried about fuelling on the bike, i have no idea what breakfast to have pre race, what to use on the bike and after, i had my first LCHF rides last weekend and i am feeling sluggish as hell! i am really worried that if i go long distances i am going to bonk if i dont take in Carbs, my normal routine pre LCHF was oats for breakfast, Cytogen and water on the bike with race food or 32GI food bars and gels for the end of the ride if required. can somebody with experience please give me some feedback on your fuelling

Wow what can I say... I am totally blown away with the service from Dirty Hippo, from the packaging to the little note inside to the quality of the shirts!!!!! I hope you guys broaden your range as I will buy some more for sure!!!! WELL DONE GUYS

strange that you raving about the durability as i personally think that is the only negative i can find with the RR's i have done about 1800km on mine and my back tire is poked, I love everything about these tires but they dont seem to last with me.

is there a chance that you could courrier the goods if i purchase some shirts? not a fan of the postal services

R120 at CWC

hey wheelsuck Based on the turnout yesterday, i am sure we will have another training day, there is still alot of work that we have to put into the route in terms of smoothing out sections but the feedback from yesterday was good and general consensus is the Rockman is NOT going to be a walk in the park

can you collect goody bags on the morning of the race?

Hi guys we will be having a cycle route training day on the 6th of October 2013 Time: 08H00 for 08H30 we will have some cold 32GI at the finish and we will provide some braais if anybody wants to stick around afterwards for a couple of cold ones there is no charge for this so please come and join us for the ride more info on www.rockmanxtri.co.za

Holy SH T if only!!

HI Disy, sorry for the delay, the winner of the last 32GI hamper will be announced through the course of today

correct

Hi ivr32, no collections tomorrow only today or sunday at the race

i clean my bikes after every ride, the process i follow is: i put prepsol in a spray-bottle which i spray on the chain, derailleur etc, let it stand for a couple of minutes then spray down with garden hose, i sponge wash the whole bike with car shampoo, spray down again and dry off with a old gym towel, i leave the bike outside to dry properly and then lube before putting the bike to bed.

Correct!

Manual entries and number collection on Friday at Cycle lab K90 centre Boksburg from 12H00 - 18H00 Cyclists from the Vaal Triangle can do entries and number collections at Spectrum sport offices, 5 Hally street Mantevrede Vanderbijlpark on Thursday 09H00 - 16H00

so the cycle route has been finished so we thought it would be a good idea to make the course available to you guys that would like to come and ride the route before the race. we have scheduled a training ride for the 06 October 2013 08H00 Bring your bike and come join us for a ride on the course, we will provide Braai fires for anyone that wants to stick around for a braai and a cold one afterwards. below is the cycle route layout

i hear you but I just think he shouldn't have to defend himself. Like you said # justsaying Lance who?
