Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 23, 2015 Share You'll be surprised what those mountain bike rides do for your strength and fitness.Especially the push up when I'm rocking the fool face. Damn. Plus, I'm pushing harder and harder to stay ahead of Marko35s's lightie. Boy's getting fast on the way down! Reminds me - I need another bottle cage. Not riding with my camelbak this time around. Just my hempie and baggies, and a top-tube bag for my nom noms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockspider99 Posted February 23, 2015 Share It is with great pleasure that Cycling South Africa, Pedal Power Association and the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust announce that an agreement has been reached between the three organizations in respect of the 2015 Cape Town Cycle Tour. The outcome of recent discussions between the parties is that the events of the Cape Town Lifecycle Week have been placed on the National Cycling Calendar of CSA.This now clears the way for riders from across the board, both licensed and unlicen...sed, to participate without fear of sanction in the events of the Cape Town Cycle Tour Lifecycle Week. Cycling South Africa, Pedal Power Association and the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust are committed to pursuing discussions to ensure that the three organisations work together to ensure that cycling across the spectrum in South Africa benefits from a clear and unified approach.

DJR Posted February 23, 2015 Share Just finished the big yearly "Argus" service for all the team DJR bikes today. Fixed one niggly bike computer. Replaced one pair of shot tyres and one frayed cable. Cleaned, all shiny and spotless, lubed and ready to go. Taper week, then easy week, then D-day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockspider99 Posted February 23, 2015 Share So what you guys recommend for Tapering down before a big event, I think I over trained for 99er because I just was not feeling fresh at all and kept cramping, Thinking I will do the Tuesday and Thursday PPA Ride around Killarney this week, go have some fun on MTB with Family on Saturday (22km MTB ride) maybe a 50KM ride Monday morning with one easy 20KM Thursday the week before D-Day?

J∆kk∆ls Posted February 23, 2015 Share A one hour, low intensity session on the watt bike on Monday followed by a sport message on Tuesday. Then a short 5-10 km ride on Saturday morning to make sure everything is ok! Also 8 hours of sleep every night and waking up the same time as race day for the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgian biker Posted February 23, 2015 Share So what you guys recommend for Tapering down before a big event, I a lot of rain and cold weather this week in Northern Europe + a very busy schedule for my last working week = doesn't leave much opportunity for riding. I hope to do a long ride (+80km) on sunday, will be good to kill some time before heading for the airport in the evening and start our 3 week SA adventure!
