The author is obviously too old to still ride his bike ... ;)

 

I'm cool with people going to the golf course, it'll help with the bottlenecks that are developing on the trails ;)

JA. but that's past tense. He's toned it down recently. Apparently he's down to 10 cans of diet coke a day from 28

How about a round with this guy? Just make sure you check the score after each hole

I must say I am a cycling convert from golf.  I still play golf once in a while but from a dedicated once a week addict I can say cycling definately has pull at present.   

 

- I find cycling more expensive than golf.  I can get a good golf set for R20k.  But a good bike is R40k then you need the power meter, Garmin etc. 

- You do'n't pay green fees but the weekly MTB race you do is R200 is as much as round of golf. 

- It is amazing I have 15 unwatched episodes of SuperGolf on my PVR and I am right up to date with SuperCycling

- I have hardly watched a live golf tournament on TV all year but watched some of the spring classic races. 

- There are definite health and fitness benifits to cycling but cycling is much more dangerous.  Rd cycling is always a thrill a minute with cars whizzing by and MTB is even more dangerous with a broken collarbone around the corner. 

- The thing I like about cycling is the work you put in is what you get out in fitness, speed and endurance.  In golf you may train like a machine but still play crap. 

 

A good game of golf is hard to beat.  That feeling of striking the ball sweetly and playing 8 shots better than you handicap makes you feel a million bucks.  The endorphens released by cycling is great but not as good as a top round but those r too far and between.  Usually you are pissed off with losing balls and missing putts. 

 

Sadly Saturday morning can only fit one or the other and cycling is winning.  (though I have done both on 1 day and golf suffers)
