The Ouzo Posted October 10, 2022 Share 48 minutes ago, Frosty said: I’ll take a windy day over the excessive heat. Thats why I was home by 9:30, went out early to beat the heat. The tail wind to the south was nice to surf though, pulled up at my parents place with a 32 avg, and that was with me fighting myself to keep the effort down to zone 2 the entire time. Wind vs heat, I thinks it a case of half a dozen of one and 6 of the other TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday's wind in the Cape had me doing chores around the house ... Edited October 10, 2022 by ChrisF throttles and Scary Rider 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trashy Posted October 10, 2022 Share Mate from Jhb was down for the weekend so took him to a few of the nicest spots in the Winelands: Paarl mountain (Laborie, Specialized), Plaisir and a quick loop at Banhoek to round off the weekend. Only rode 58km but did 1850m of climbing. Sid the Sloth, DJR, Scary Rider and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted October 10, 2022 Share 5 hours ago, The Ouzo said: A zone 2 cruise past Frosty’s hood and a water break at my folks place. 5 hours ago, TheoG said: You went very close past me also in New Redruth, welcome to get some refreshments next time 🙂 5 hours ago, The Ouzo said: Thanks. New Redruth is very close to my folks (which is very very close to Frosty), so when doing this route I always stop at my folks place. The problem with this route is the wind direction. Its normally a head wind back home (and predominantly up hill), so unless I HAVE to go to Alberton (like when my folks are away and I need to check on the house) I try to only do it when the wind is blowing in the opposite direction or when its a bit calmer. Next time you plan riding this way, let me know. If I’m not riding with the club, I can join you for a portion of your ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops. ok now that I've stopped coughing up phlegm and have had a moment to go through my stats, it would appear that I put in a proper effort this morning, beat my previous time by 2m10s and hit a new Max HR of 194, thats up 11 bpm.
