'Dale Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 @ Kanga, Be careful.This sport is addictive.It hurts the budget.And makes one sleep like deep after a hard day in the saddle.BE WARNED.
Kanga Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 welcome to the world of cycling, best advise i can give is to have fun dude!!! eventually you will be having such a joll on your bike you wont even realize you just did 100kms and lost 30kgs. we ride and keep riding because we love it and enjoy it. you will too. good luck dude!! hope you have a joll!! I have a sneaky suspicion that this is what will happenRemember, the hardest part of your "cycling life" is now, and from here on in it only gets better and more fun. Remember to listen to your body: if you really, really don't feel like riding, its not always laziness. Don't overdo it from the start, and remember that a short, 5km ride, is better than no ride at all. Welcome, and happy cycling It might be laziness @ Kanga, Be careful.This sport is addictive.It hurts the budget.And makes one sleep like deep after a hard day in the saddle.BE WARNED.I am sure the budget will suffer, I ike gadgets and nice toys and dont sleep well so this might be the sprt for me

DaLoCo Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Have fun , and as Witkop outlined...don't overdo it at the start. You are starting a way of life, not meeting a deadline. VTS 2169 1
arendoog Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Even if you dont feel like riding,get on your bike and cruise along .Soon your blood will start flowing and the wind in your hair will carry you along .It mignt be the best ride of the week or month.Drink water ,not a beer, after a ride and the weight will drop steadily
'Dale Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Cool, man. Welcome to a great sport. lifestyle. Edit
Kanga Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Well went for a ride yesterday along the beach and I enjoy this bike thing(more like a cruise than a ride) The one who must be obeyed has decided she wants a bike as well, so I will have a partner in crime. Strangely two of my beer drinking buddies have also taken to the idea and are both heading for a sportmans warehouse/ cycle shop this weekend. This could be contagious Edited September 15, 2012 by Kanga
Agteros Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Mhh I think Excitements battle plan is more like Excrement ROFLMAO x1000 Edited September 15, 2012 by RoboCyclist

DaLoCo, looking at your signature, your dream is closer than you thinkhttp://www.3d-printing.net/content/3d-printing-future-bacon-sandwiches We discussed this at a conference a few months back.
Kanga Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 Well got around 12km this afternoon, nowhere near what you guys do but hell a monster leap for me. Most noticeable is that I loved every second of the ride, even the tough (tough for me) bits.My Mate got himself a Scott of some sort from City Cycles this morning so having a parther in crime is good fun. My right wrist was getting a little sore towards the end, could this be riding position or am I just using previously unused muscles?
Kanga Posted December 9, 2012 Author Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Tiny Update Cycling 15km at least 3 times a weeks and then a 30-40km over the weekend. Losing some blubber but can feel myself getting fitter, eeven starting to enjoy the odd looong uphill.Upgraded to a Merida TFS900 29er that was properly set up and did the cleat thing a few weeks ago, good news is I am not landing on my nose much anymore. This sport is awesome Edited December 9, 2012 by Kanga dracs, M L, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and 1 other 4

Kanga Posted December 9, 2012 Author Posted December 9, 2012 Hi Kanga. Glad you're having fun and getting addicted to sport. Keep it up and you gonna be buying a road bike soon. Then you gonna get addicted to the speed. Mhhhh Roadbike you say? Cant say the thought has not crossed my mind yet Ended up putting a baby seat behind the first bike I bought and my 20 month old daughter loves it so so so much that all the cycling this far has been worth just the look on her face. Help.Me., Cippo and M L 3
