Haha thanks for that picture! Most certainly trying to avoid that. That image, should keep the tss in the positive for a while! hehe but hey the struggle is real. I don't know how other people stay consistently fit.

Thanks! so my IF for last week was 0.65 - I do have a dodgy heart rate monitor strap I need to sort out though, so not really trusting my numbers right now.

Slacking big time 276.8 / 3 rides / ?? IF Last weeks TSS was 0 due to laziness. So feeling better than last Monday! Hoping this thread might get me going, have some formidable goals, can't be slacking right now! How does one get an IF from training peaks, I am on premium.

Thanks, I felt like maybe I could boast a little.

It's usually called the Sun City to Cape Town charity cycle tour but this year it was from Polokwane to Cape Town. It's supposed to be an endurance ride but at an average of 33km/h I was racing everyday hehe. It was serious fun.

It feels a bit off topic and a bit irrelevant because it's from March but the number for the week seemed pretty impressive for me. So it's not training, it's from a tour I did and it's hrTSS because I don't have power on my bike. There was a second week, not as impressive. My CTL peaked at +/- 115

My aim was a 2:45 from DL, managed a 2:41:49. I was't feeling that great physically, so pleased with my time. My strategy was to get in the first bunch and stay with them for as long as i could. I could see from last years results that that would likely result in a 2:30ish so I knew it was a bit risky. the first 45-50 were at 40km/h, this was about where I lost them. I didn't blow, it was more like my legs just didn't have enough in them. So picked up another group. Kind of ran out of legs towards the end, pushed to try sneak under 2:40 but just couldn't do it. I'm pleased though. I'm sad I can't do Tour Durban because my legs are feeling awesome! I don't even feel like I rode yesterday. Enjoyed the race, loved the much improved road surface and as always the asg races feel very well organised.

There is still a grave risk if you just take one myprodol right? getting the feeling that some people think 1 or 2 is ok? My understanding is that isn't, right?

The harder you work, the luckier you get. Well done!

My GSC 10 died and Navworld gave me a new one... the guy had one lying around in his drawer and he just gave it to me. I possibly got lucky... Definitely out of warranty, close to 4 years old. I love Garmin and Navworld. but no I wouldn't try repair it. I'd either try my luck at Navworld or buy a new one, I've seen them still available online... but the new ones look way better.

Those aren't the seal tubes... These are: http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/marvel-road-self-seal-tube-700x18-23c-48mm and they are R60 each.

My arse will tell you that saddles wear out! They also lose their stiffness and kind of collapse, stick your thumb in the middle of it and see how much flex there is. If you like the saddle and it just looks like it wore out, get the same again or go look for something new. But your issues definitely sound like they originate from your saddle, in my opinion.

I always think I'm smiling and then I look at the pictures and I just have a pained expression... need to work on this.

Last year I did 75.8km/h I also weigh about 55kg... but the need for speed is great...

I was very disappointed to have maxed out at 73.8km/h I have these new wheels I feel super confident on, been leaving my club mates behind the last few weeks and then did such a pathetic max speed.
