What do you mean by this? are you being insulting?

I hope they appeal and lose in the process. This would be the opportune time to give him the sentence he deserves - 2 YEARS!

Hi, I'm trying to ascertain what the ideal power to weight ratio for my PPA group should be, so I can determine how far off I am. It would useful to know what PPA group some of the hubbers ride in and what their power to weight ratio is.

Phil Ligget was making a comment when he was out here. What he said was the reason why cycling is so big in this country is because the way it is structured Apparently cycling is bigger here than in Europe. The mix of "pros" and funriders conributes to the big turnout at cycling events. If the "Pros" are complaining get CSA to set up their own race calendar and leave the PPA to run the funrides. I bet the "Pro circuit" won't last very long

What are you guys talking about?

Please elaborate

Heart rate is subjective and can be influenced by the environment. It could just as easily have been the weather.

Hi Has anyone used Chris Charmichael training DVD's? What is means by LOW,MEDIUM and high intensity? How does this relate to what zone to perform the exercise in?

Good on you for getting the hub up and running so quickly. It's no easy feat migrating to a new server, The PPA can take a leaf out of your book!

If one buys the Edge 500 from chainreactioncycles, I assume one cannot send it to a local agent for repairs. Also there a numerous reports on the web about the screen being difficult to read. I read the comments on this thread that it is not the case. Can anyone back this up?

I've posted this before on the hub. Check it out https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=70346 Surley we not professional cyclist (but avid ones), hence our weight should reflect what is considered to be healthy

There would be. Better power to mass ratio will help your climbing. But would this weight suit you? When last did you weigh 77kg. My point is, surely as cyclist there must be a fine balance in terms of weight we would like to be (considering our age) and what is a healthy norm. Without dissing Fundacious, I mean 64kg@ 1.84m!!!

It seems the postives certainly outweigh the negatives

Ironically Im 1.86m and weigh exactly 77kg. What are you saying? Echoing Mapara's sentiments, geez you must be pretty lean. I dropped to my lowes weight in 15 years for this years Argus at 81kg. My freinds and family thought I looked anorexic LOL

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a HRM capable of measuring cadence. Based on all the complaints on this forum about the service received from Polar makes we wander. Why does a watch have to be sent to JHB to have a battery replaced? Any better options out there. See article below http://www.bicycling.co.za/articles/blog/29//4787/

Hi On the issue around body weight. Surely the physiology of a person would determine whether they will be a good cyclist or not. I'm 1.87m tall and if I allow my body weight to drop below 77kg I will look ridiculous So your height really determines how much weight you could afford to lose. I've noticed quite a few of the elites weighing <70kg Was wandering whether any cyclist has done a sub 3 Argus weighing > 80kg

220W - really a newbie

It would be interesting to know what the average critical power over 30 minutes is for the hubbers on an indoor trainer

Maybe we should have given them some more time to post the results. Perhaps they were under pressure to run the seedings and as a result came up with some concocted formula

I suggest you guys go to the racetec web site and take a snapshot of your existing results. The way they handling this issue I woudn't be suprised if data gets deleted in the process!

How is it that I can't see the new seeding?

I'm losing my flipping patience with these idiots. I suppose in their defence they did say WEEK oF 12 APRIL, whatever the hell that means!!

Hi, I'm trying to get a feel in terms of what the correcr mode to use when training on the Tacx Flow, Ergo or Slope? New to using the flow Given the following training routine(s) what mode would you use? sets duration watts warm up 1 10 min 220 set1 5 30s 280 30s 140 which mode? ------------------------------------------- warm up 1 15 min 220 set 1 45 min 200 NB the 45min continuous set contains a few hills which mode?

It's a damn disgrace that the poor telephone operators at the PPA office have to constantly deal with irate PPA members. Why shield inept officials. Publicise the names and contact details of the person responsible for this debacle so that we may contact them directly. Why use Racetec as an excuse. It's the duty of the PPA to ensure that service level agreements get fulfilled
