Geckotom Posted May 30, 2012 Share Spare a thought for Jaco Lubbe and some of the other staff of Induna Adventures injured in an accident while building the track for the race. Jaco underwent surgery yesterday. Notwithstanding the hiccup, it appears that the rest of the team is pulling out all the stops to once again put on another well organised event. Speedy recovery Jaco. mama baaisiekel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Induna Posted June 2, 2012 Share Cycling Tip #3 When to sit or stand on a climbSit: Approach hill in middle ring, select a gear that maintains 70 to 80 rpm cadence. Hydrate at the bottom Shift early while seated: If running out of gears in middle ring, shift early to granny while spinning moderate cadence, apply light pedal pressure Assume the cosmic crunch: Move up on nose of the saddle, crouch down over handlebar, head forward and elbows low. Keep rear wheel churning, move upper body forward to keep front wheel down Stand: On long, consistent grades, it’s helpful to stand to relieve pressure of the back and relax legs by shifting the load to another muscle group. Select the taller cog before standing. Remain seated: Continue eyeing straight up hill for firmest packed and smoothest route. Steer around soft terrain and overly difficult sections. Relax and use gears to sustain healthy pedal tempo Definitely stand: If you enter into a roller or moderate grade in big ring at speed. rise out of saddle, sprint and use speed to bring you up the rise. Back off the pedal pressure or sit before making chain ring shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Induna Posted June 2, 2012 Share Cycling Tip #4 CornersLow - Speed Turns1. Keep a loose grip on the handlebars. Begin breaking before you hit the control.2. Try to find the smoothest way around by focusing as far ahead as possible3. Take caution on wet trails because it may be slippery4. Shift down one gear before leaving the cornerHigh - Speed Turns1. Try to slow down before entering the corner2. Take as wide of a turn as possible. Remember to keep your outside leg extended3. Aim for the center of the apex, keep all of your weight on your outside leg to prevent skidding4. Do not pull your brakes because this will cause you to lose control. Lean into the corner5. Once you make it out of the corner, stand up and pedal hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Rat Posted June 2, 2012 Share Who is up for this one? My first long ride after Sani2c and really looking forward to it. Maybe too much recovery I guess I'll know when I watch the Boks whip the English later that afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
