YES for me it is one or the other. Reach goal weight then focus on building muscle.

I had to call in sick and tell my boss I am becoming fat adapted and now have carb flu.

Thank you for all the info and advice on this thread. Been following fat adaptation recommendations as well as IF for a week. Results have been great but carb flu and no power during exercise is a real thing.

When I played rugby for my local club, I felt like a crusader. I had to run straight at the defending team expecting to get tackled and also to get across the advantage line. Sometimes it felt like running into a door.

I respectfully disagree. This was the 2nd dooring incident on main road that I am aware of in the last couple of months. The first one in December happened here and I was on scene with paramedics and the fire brigade. Happened around 11h00 on Sunday, 1 December 2024

Interesting technique suggested in this article: if you lean into the car whose door is opening, you can also attempt to slow yourself down before you make impact with the door https://bayareabicyclelaw.com/5-helpful-safety-reminders-for-cyclists-who-ride-in-the-city/ Deciding to purchase a firearm and preparing for an eventuality is a choice and mindset. My opinion is the same principle applies here.

I was not recommending training! It is a judgement call you may have to make in a split second on your bike or in your motor vehicle. You have clearly become hostile in this discussion so I am not going to engage anymore. Thank you for the detail about the actual accident. I feel very bad for what happened to the cyclist and like others I am feeling very weary about my next ride.

It is not ridiculous to keep going straight based on your judgement call

Would you swerve for a pedestrian or wildlife in your motor vehicle?

I agree 100% You also can't just switch off and enjoy the view. You must anticipate and slow down. I am especially aware of trucks and 4x4's towing boats and just let them go in front on narrow roads. The main road is not for setting a PR.

@MikePosthumus and Matt are so fast up there nobody will be able to stop them and do any mugging. I am so slow up there that I am a sitting duck. Also no cellphone reception on Vodacom so take your Sat phone...

This is why I keep coming back to this bloody website 🤣

I have been getting back into the sport after 2 kids and bought this in December. Great advice. Been all over Tokai and up the Mast with it... Great buy and Gear Change folks are the best!

Gemsbok/Eland looks pretty dangerous in Banhoek Conservancy

Almost traffic free sounds perfect. Had a near miss with a Double Flatbed on Constantia Main and also a massive Grow Truck on Southern Cross.
