brucem76 Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 What a morning! The weather was perfect for cycling, except for a light breeze, but I was thankful for it for cooling me down. The trial was quite busy this morning with a few groups riding. Today I tested out two things: My new computer and cassette and boy was I impressed! Still need to work on my climbs as it is my Achilles heel. Other than that, it was an awesome ride. Afterward, I stopped for a Latte at Expresso Coffee Shop. Underneath the picture is the link to my workout.Any Garmin users who can help me share it easier? Like for example the way Strava's sharing works? So that you can see the whole map with a short summary but without a link, if you understand what I mean. Also, is there any groups that ride on Saturday? I really would like to join a group each Saturday morning early. http://i.imgur.com/iemPeo4.jpghttps://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1535031540#.WIMEFgLvfpY.linkNice work. I was also blown away by the number of cyclists around Dville today! I get my Garmin to auto-sync with Strava as Strava definitely presents the info better and shares more easily.

NotSoBigBen Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 One of those food for the soul solo rides except for a cool bit of riding I did with the Germiston Wheelers lads ... Nice bunch that and even had a quick chat to the one and only Gerald! BrandonF_, BenReaper, Andrew_Smith and 1 other 4
Grease_Monkey Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Had a ride at Buffelsdrift this morning. A mate got a puncture in his front tyre, used a bomb, 2km later another puncture, had to plug it and use a bomb. Another 2km later puncture in the other wheel, had to put a tube in. Another few km later and the tube got a flat! Had to limp home. Haha, was a long 30km, but got out on the trails with mates, and that's always fun! Don't know why he got so many flats! Tyres are 500km old amd in good condition (Spez Purgatory on the front, Maxxis Hight Roller on the rear), had plenty of snot in the tyres, never had issues before. Just one of those days I guess.
