    They have the ramp in practice so that you can safely determine how fast you have to hit the take off to reach the landing. If you too slow, you land on the ramp without crashing.

    Congratulations indeed. Selecting Candice over Mariske must have been a tough call.

    What was your average HR before your flu and how does that compare to your average HR now ? How long and far are you riding ?

    Hi Vetplant This is not a great example because in terms of the alienation of land act, agreements for the sale of immovable property have to be in writing and signed. In your example, the estate agent will possibly claim commission if you refuse to sell at R2 bar and you subsequently don't sell.

    I don't know if you are correct ,but I certainly think many shops are staffed by people that just want a job from 8 to 5. They don't necessarily have any passion for the job, nor do they take any pride in their work.

    Thought it appropriate to publicly thank Knipe Racing for exceptionally good service last Friday. My daughter (14) went down for the Bloemendal SA Cup. At practice on Friday morning she came up short on a gap jump and cracked the rear rim. It required a new rim, rebuild and new tyre. We live in Durban, so when my wife called with the news, I tried calling the bigger bike shops in the area. They, understandably, indicated that even if they had a spare rim, did not have the capacity to re-build the wheel before the race. My wife phoned and said a local had suggested that we try "Knife Racing". I googled the name and guessed that she meant "Knipe". We were blown away by the willingness to help. The work was done professionally, efficiently and enthusiastically. I know that my daughter's friend from Kzn had a similar issue and she was also helped. Apparently they worked on her bike until 7pm Friday night. Honestly, kudos to Louis and his team. If any lbs deserves to succeed its yours.

    Be careful jumping into a 5 day a week running plan. I would recommend that you start running 3 days a week and supplement running on the other days with cycling or gym. After several weeks add another day of running.

    Hi TBoss Not sure how old you are, but as a 50 something rider, my experience is that it only gets worse.

    If the device is measuring your HR from your wrist, move the device slightly higher up your arm, above the bump at the end of your wrist, and fasten the strap fairly tightly. Apart from that I agree that you should engage the easier gears and spin, rather than pedal against a firm resistance.

    The headline seems to be very unfair. I read a summary of the judgment. He has been banned because he told athletes not to declare a substance ( L-Carnitine ) , which they injected. He thought the injections were illegal. They were not and the substance is not banned. He rubbed testosterone powder onto his children. And an assistant coach took more than the recommended dose of L Carnitine. There is no evidence he doped any athlete.Perhaps reading the full judgment will shed more light on his wrongdoing.

    La Vuelta 2019

    amac replied to 'Dale's topic in Pro Cycling

    After TDF there were some stories about the team having nutrition / hydration issues with an untested ( by the team ) sponsor product. Can you tell us anything about this and whether the issue is resolved ?
