Wannabe Posted November 28, 2012 Share My Spez was awesome, is awesome! The legs on the other hand were a bit...dead. You boys really pushed it in the beginning....loved it! Yeah, we like to push the section from top of Hels past Pniel to the T junction. It all downhill and lekka fast.But if you thought that was pushing it, just wait for the race. That section and then the section past Simondium to Paarl is literaly flat out all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaBee Posted November 28, 2012 Share Allez, I got a hay fever from hell two days before Karoo to Coast... then all that dust! Only got it sorted two weeks later courtesy of injection, but by then sinusses were FUBAR, so antibiotics and all that jazz. Good luck, I know how you feel... Hope you get it sorted!

I am getting hayfever late this year. Normally get it around September - October. Most of the antihistaminesmakes me drowsy or I feel worse for a day or two. I think you are only allowed 3 cortisone injections per season... Haven't gone yet, should probably go now, but already to late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBee Posted November 28, 2012 Share If you haven't tried it yet, I've found adco-ceterezine to be quite effective mostly - and does not make me too drowsy. But we have a number of different anti-histamines in the cupboard - both the mrs and myself are terrible hay fever sufferers. Sometimes you just need a different "plan of attack" and use something with different ingredients and it clears in two ticks. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use sinfrontal (homeopathic meds) when hayfever season starts, when its high pollen days, I take them regularly through the day. They help me a lot, although not bulletproof solution and just miss one day and you get hayfever. Haven't tried Adco-Ceterezine before, or more likely I am not sure if I have. I got some meds from the doctor last year to try instead of the injection. Didn't really help, although I did feel better and the hayfever went from mild to low levels. Problem now... with the race on Sunday... do I shock it out of my system, or suffer through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajohnston Posted November 28, 2012 Share If the wind stays NNW we will be riding into it from Pniel to Wellington and hopefully behind us from Wellington to Stellies. Wind is predicted to be under 10 knots. That would be amazing! It is the last stretch on agter Paarl road that kills when that Cape Dr. visits! Can't wait!

Problem now... with the race on Sunday... do I shock it out of my system, or suffer through it. Lukewarm water with some salt and bicarb, sniff up and blow every morning. Burns a little but does the trick. I use Sinutab ND but go through a pack to really work over a day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
