BarHugger Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 GreyHubs and Saag...,....Spioenkop.......with 14 smallish speedbumps just for the fun of it. Will be doing Great Trek. Enjoy B&B menere. Back to topic.
Grey Hubs Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Just entered for the Great trek this week! Might see you there. Last minute stuff... That 1.5km climb should be easy after all the online races
Grey Hubs Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Cheapers Swiss...you're officially banned from putting up races! Ok not really, but that was a tough one!Struggled with this one last night...bit concerned that my power is DECREASING with every race. Not sure what's going on but I could hardly hold 220W the flywheel on the trainer was seriously hot when I finished (around 50-60deg). Will need to find a cooler spot for summer training. Almost gave up half way and then realized Swiss Van was gunning for me (think he had a delayed start)...decided to poer poer along (that's all I had) and hold 200w like a sweet little carrot! I think Swiss Van gained almost 2km on my pace.Sadly i think I pipped Swiss Van by about 50m at the end...you could have klapped me Swiss Van! so close. Good HARD race. thanks.

Thanks guys, i was not in the mood for training but glad now i did My plan was just to cruise and spin as I've got a slight knee niggle...needed to work on my spinning as i seem to be reverting to grinding instead. But then somewhere during the climb the heart overruled the head and ended up pushing hard to catch you GH...my wife who was running on the treadmill next me at the time says its a male thing. What has happened to all the other chaps, bmw, bigshow, rouxtjie, DIPS, etc...would be nice to see more participants again??

Saag Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Doing the Descent, luckily my partner is VERY unfit, so the plan is to ride fast up hills, and chill out and take photos whilst waiting for him. I will be back for next Tuesday, missed the last 3 weeks now so must get my act together.

Joeboy69 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Have some of you upgraded to the new app on iOS tablet? Has a few new tabs, I'm not sure how the "career" one works [emoji45]. There is a to-do list on the right side, suggesting I do an FTP and a Performance. No idea what the latter is. I joined a challenge, 2 of 5 done but this doesn't seem to be the same thing? Thoughts?

I don't have the IOS app, but based on the beta website: NOVICEThis is the first regular CVT career level. Now, you should start to train any rides to improve performance level and you have to finish at least one challenge.FTP TestYou have to finish the FTP Test successfully.PointsGet performance to 1 Maybe finish the other 3 parts of that challenge (I assume its the La Vuelta one?), see if that earns points? The Android beta (released last night) doesn't support FE-C trainers yet, so for now I can't use my tablet with CVT.The beta desktop application works quite nicely, I just don't see myself carrying my computer case to the lounge and back very often.
Joeboy69 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Thanks, will likely do an FTP on Monday and see how that changes things. It is indeed the Vuelta one, damn it is tough for me. I'm usually about double the record time of the ride, but today did only 6km in 27min, quite a hilly section [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]
Saag Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 We can compare Garmin times when you get back Have a safe ride! Hope you enjoy, awesome trails. The benefit of having a slow partner and not racing is that you take in a lot more of the awesome views!Shall we doe joberg2C next year
