Just checking what people spend on a coach, I need to get more scientific with my training and i find the time it takes to read the books watch vids etc is too much right now. I'm no where close to being a pro im B seeded but have seen others really progress from having a coach that take the guess work out on a lot of things for them. Thx in advance

About 5min, sorry about your fall, we did wait for you guys to get back on wheel.

We had a big crash in B as well, car almost rode over the guys that fell too. 10km further another one, we couldn’t catch the group after that, will be nice to see some neutral riding after a big crash for a minute, i understand if you have 3km to go that you need to push but 30km in to race wouldn’t hurt anyone

Ok thx makes sense, will keep at it. ????

Can anyone please explain to me the PPA seeding process, I can't seem to move up from D, i have finished in the top 10 of Group D for the last few races, in the last two sportiffs, I have seen the same guys in my group at the top aswell. It's becoming frustrating as there are the same 5 guys pulling infront the whole race, we all break away with max 12 guys left in group but seeding doesn't change. It doesn't make sense with the amount of guys we are catching in group B and C

Good day Just purchased the 1x12 GX upgrade kit (non-eagle). I didn't get crank with it, i am currently running shimano 1x10 XT Crank ( 2x10 ) , Is there anyway of adapting a chainring to fit 1x12 or do I need t go get 1x12 crank. What other options are there?

Good day guys Just a question I have a Raleigh RC7000 LTD (Dedacciai frame)and have a hair line crack in my hanger, Question is to replace hanger, is it universal or brand specific etc? As raleigh aint in the country no more.

Hey guys, I ride a 1x10 groupset with a 32t in front and have 42t back as some of the climbs in Tygerberg are quite steep and I need the gearing, my question for the 50miler is, should I go to 34t up front as I run out of gearing on the downs quite a bit, I haven't done the race yet so unsure of terrain etc.

Heard about that trick haha, they also suggest Cayene tablets, they reckon it has similar affects to the brine.

I don't usually poo on bike but thx haha, Seems like I am on the right track, I will change my training up for the Argus and see what happens, will increase weekend rides to 125-140km+- and concentrate on my intensity and changing up my midweek rides too. Will give feedback after race and include what I changed etc.

Thx will do the same and see how it progresses.Good luck for Letape

Good day guys/girls I am having a problem with cramping on race days only, it happens almost every race,mostly in the last 10-20 km of a 100km race,I'm starting to race in 1A and % groups and feel maybe my weekend warrior approach is no longer suffecient. I have done tons of reading on the subject and there doesn't seem to be much science and definite answers on the problem with cramping. I currently do a long ride on weekends 105km avergage and 2 x 30km rides in week all at the same intensity +-135bmp, but on race days my average hr is +-155-160bpm so I'm leading towards this being my problem, as I never cramp on long training rides, even the DC when i averaged about 135bmp for 202km i never cramped.My nutrition is good during events I stay hydrated ( Cadence carb, rehidrate) and eat every hour. Do I need to throw in interval type training or proper warmups before race events etc to get body used to being in that zone? As that is the only thing that I can think is being my problem. Kind Regards

Good day Trying to find out how to get involved in track cycling in Cape Town, I tried their website but there isn't much info on their. Can someone guide me in the right direction. Kind regards

Thx a lot.

So will they only release once I pay? and if so will they contact me or must I contact them, I tried phoning on all their help lines and sent emails and still haven't had reply.
