Wayne Potgieter Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 You need to have 1000 Watts in your legs b4 u even think of applyingwatt?
Mongoose! Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Friend of mine bought a Tacx Vortex As Tacx is now open to other apps, he is in the process to try and use Virtual Training on Vortex. According to him the Vortex is both ant plus and bluetooth with controlled resistance. If it works ( first attempt was unsuccessful) it will be much cheaper (R6.5k) as the Powerbeam... Anybody tried it, or racing with a Vortex here?

Mailman7412 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 FRIENDS DONT LET FRIENDS BUY tacxAt least he can say I did it without his knowledge
DIPSLICK Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 What you weigh if I may ask??Bigshow, I see you a beeeg boy also to be putting out those watts you must have some C FOR SERIAAAAS powerful legs
Grey Hubs Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Any points for getting to the the first ascent??? just wanted to play with the BIG boys, even though it was for only a few km. Thanks for the race. Something worth getting excited about in WINTER... Still can't believe the power you guys put down. Must be the extra O2 on the coast... Congrats to the riders taking podium.
Mongoose! Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 6Mongoose must be a proHaha. Thanks. I wish.You rode very good and almost cracked me the first part. I am 1.9m tall and weight 82kg and at 40 plus a vets racer. The last two months (almost every weekend) here in the Free State we had our provincial time trails hill climbs and crit racing.I did most of the events, and some power intervals before work. Preparing now for the Transbaviaans and to be honest I am quit worried as I don't have time to do any long distance endurance rides... haha
Mongoose! Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks and well done to everybody who raced tonight. Already looking forward for coming Tuesday.Bigshow, will you be so kind to create the race again?
Bigshow Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Well u ride Moër strong. Well done. I'm a 128kg 6.8"
Bigshow Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I just didn't have the legs. Just about half way in had caught up plenty on you but you got away again
Saag Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Great race once again, thanx all. This time I finished in the same calendar day as the rest of you Question: I thought these races go on power output, so how does it work that bigshowza averaged a lower speed than mongoose,even though he had the biggest average power? Seeing that mine is the lowest power, I'am hoping there is a shortcut to this . And again, how does a MTB compare to the guys on road bikes? I seem to be spinning on the downhills without the ability to put any real power down.Just curious, anyhow this is the best training I have ever done! Never thought it could be so much fun looking at a screen with a couple of dots on them....
Bigshow Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Great fun and hard work. It's all power to weight ratio. If you work out mongoose it is 3.8 watts to a kg and I'm doing about 2.8 watts to a kg
