The R55 is currently not in good shape and will most probably not receive proper maintenance before the event or they may be upgrading the R55. Woodmead Corner shopping centre opened up and the entrance is right off the old finish straight to Waterfalls main entrance. Steyn City's developing partner is Century Properties so this makes sense for them to promote this new development

Sound advice but not entirely true on voet stoets though, you can't hide a latent defect from a person

I actually reckon your FTP is higher than 250watts you will be pushing a FTP of close to 4.0watt/kg if not more, so probably 320watts unless you are a clever racer and have excellent bunch riding skills and wheel suck a lot. You will need to do a 20min test so see if you can't borrow a wheel somewhere,unless you want to go the full hour?!

Wind was pumping in PTA can only imagine how you suffered, rest up and have a beer almost time for the rugby and tomorrow is a new day

Ah jip one race anycase Phil is the highest ranked XC rider in the country and Reid has the talent to be there so CSA should catch a wake up and realise we have medal contenders for Rio 2016!

Has James Reid beaten him in XC racing or do you refer to the SA Champs?

HR can always BS you power can not!

What I tried to say is that I have trained a long time using HR as my benchmark for intervals and training, built up loads of data, the last 16 weeks I have been fortunate to train with a power meter and every single ride and interval is now done properly. I have seen this myself on the figures and data gathered

Iwas also a firm believer of this but you only train properly with a power meter as your HR can mislead your efforts

Exactly! Only one xc rider in the mens?

I wonder if our athletes will have to pay their own way to get there?

Would love to see how they decided on the ladies road team going, and did we only qualify one rider for the mens XC?

Everybody starts disliking the winners of the sport at some point

Exactly! I could not remember the condition, but in a lot of cases the person has not visited a sport physician who will test their lung function properly and this is a quick fix. I know as my fiance struggled with this and she was properly tested and the sport physician told her this. Many people don't use their lungs properly or fully during exercise and what is perceived as an asthma attack occurs. She got some exercises to do and her problem is sorted and she actually received a natural performance boost with her lung function being improved.

A lot of the elite men and ladies riders in SA use inhalers during races, if your doctor gives you the right documentation to prove you need it they can not ban you as you need it medically

So instead of trying to make a difference and actually help people one should just run away to another country? Well done to the OP for trying to make a difference in this situation at this intersection, I am sure you will get someone to help sort out the problem

Not good glad you are ok Vetseun and survived. Vihan was the rider stabbed rides for ASG u/23 he was training in the Potchchefstroom region Edit-saw someone posted it already

Jy is omtrent aan die gang met die races! Volgende naweek die toer

Also believe in Rock n Roll lube, use the Gold on my road bike

Correct yes, Phil Buys is involved in the setup

Rooiberg is not full so they will definitely accept more entries

Nice and tough road event on Saturday with all the continuous pedaling! Talus was a machine with all his pulls on the front of a very lazy A bunch. Decent time so happy with result and not being involved in any crashes.

9 hours is one hell of a long time on a bike but like you said if you want more people to enter the Ultra's then by all means, I for one will not ride an Ultra if I am not 100% sure I can finish at least 1hr before the cut off.

If you have a pressfit BB and carbon frame with no aluminium shell in it will wear out the carbon every single time the BB is removed and a new one refitted, it will take a long time but eventually it does have a negative effect
