  1. Hi there Hubbers! There is a lot of protein shakes / recovery shakes available on the market, not to mention all of them. I'm currently training 6hours a week and will build up to 12hours so recovery will be crucial. What supplements do you guys use to speed up recovery or what do you do to feel fresh and ready to ride again the next mornning?
  2. Morning folks, Has anyone used this product or something similar before? Worth investigating? https://www.onedayonly.co.za/body-massage-gun-with-multiple-settings-and-attachments-20200825.html https://hyperice.com/hypervolt-plus
  3. Hello fellow hubbers. I'm wondering if anyone has had injuries pertaining to the abductor pollicis Longus muscle and can remember things like the cause, injury extent and recovery? I'm reading interweb results in the meantime, but would appreciate real world insight as well. What happened: rode an extremely rocky trail, hurt left arm muscle somehow when I thumb-shifted while fork took a hit, recovered over a few months, hurt right arm muscle somehow and now seeking to speed up the recovery of this injury. Both times I didn't experience pain until a few hours after the ride, so there must be inflammation present - oh and forgot to add there is visible swelling. It hurts when I use my right arm for anything more intensive than typing and I'm getting flashbacks of how sad it was seeing my mtb stand for so long edit: I did search the forums first, but only found knee related results edit 2: adding more info that I remembered.
  4. Hi Hubbers! To those of you who have been blessed with ownership of the wonderful Edge 520, have you noticed that a little screen pops up after your workout, stating the suggested recovery time before the next ride/training session? This morning I had quite an intense WO on the IDT, and it told me to recover for 72 hours , which isn't going to happen . So, who relies on this suggestion that the little machine spits out? Is the rest period based solely on your avg HR throughout the workout/ride, or what other things play a part?
  5. Right, so after 947 I had some seriously sore legs and I can't cycle mid week, therefore when I rode on Saturday my legs were very stiff after a few climbs. Went to a family braai last night and ended up getting my first ever, and AMAZING leg massage. The topic of conversation was my concern about my right hamstring which has been giving me grief since I had a too high saddle for a while.....Nina spent close to an hour sorting out the aches and pains (tightness) and the reason I am writing this is that the hamstring gave me no problems at all on today's ride and I was able to ride same course today at 1km/hr faster average speed and with zero hamstring issues. I have often scoffed at massage but have to admit it really helped. (Some of the pressure points were pretty painful, so something was happening). Nina is a certified massage practitioner and operates Manawa Massage based in Little Falls on the West Rand.

  6. Hey everyone, This is a call for help, to anyone who has any advice to give me. 2 years ago I injured my MTP( the joint behind the big toe) which is pretty much where most of pedal force goes through. Had surgery on it by Doc in Morningside, whose name I won't mention because the surgery was very much a "sausage machine" type effort with a short consultation and immediate booking into surgery without any scans. Tried to get out of the surgery but was coerced into it, sucks being a layman with some doctors. Anyways, surgery was not very successful, took about 7 months for me to get back onto my bike. Unusual as I was 22 and in good health. To this day I still struggle with my foot, not being able to put pressure on the inside of the foot has caused problems with my ITB, over developed the outside of my calf muscle and quadricep, while there is visible muscle atrophy on the inside quadricep and calf. Unable to get a full pedal stroke in either, because the range of the calf muscle is limited and the foot is essentially stationary through the pedal stroke. I need to see a physio who specialised in cycling specific rehabilitation and possibly a surgeon to assess whether I need corrective surgery. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, A frustrated mountainbiker.
  7. The SA Cycle Register has been developed to help protect SA Cyclists by providing a system where bicycle details can be uploaded, bicycles may be flagged as stolen and most importantly; 2nd hand bicycle buyers, retailers and law enforcement have the ability to query bicycle flag information based on the serial number or DataDot PIN number of the bicycle. The register also allows retailers to upload bicycle service history and verify details loaded by users. This system is user generated and free. The SA Cycle Register would appreciate any feedback on usabilty of the site as well as any thoughts on the issue of identification in the cycling industry. www.cycleregister.co.za Remember - Assets which have their identitites protected cannot be legitimately sold if they are stolen, which deters criminals from stealing protected assets. @SACycleRegister
  8. In our article last week, we spoke about the proposed benefit of compression garments to enhance recovery following an intense cycling test. We are sticking to the recovery theme this week, but we are changing exercise modes and athletes. Triathletes are challenged to improve their performances in three different exercise modes. In order to achieve this they will often perform more than one session in a single day and often train in two modes of exercise (swimming, cycling and running). Click here to view the article
