Ā Roads got busy with cyclists after 9.00 ... they missed a stunning sunrise. Ā Ā Ā Greetings to the Marchal along Bottelary at 9.30 .... respect !!Ā You have a strong pair of legs ... not sure your buddies enjoyed our fun ...Ā šĀ you had me in zone 5 for a while there š Ja nee. Even some evenings recently are beautifully calm with red fire in the sky.

Frosty Posted July 9, 2022 Share Forgot that Saturday, last weekend (02-Jul), was the halfway point of the year... day 182.5 (at 12 noon). Not quite as many miles compared to this time last year, but at least I'm on track for another 5-digit annual distance, and perhaps a 6-digit elevation gain total; if I continue as I have for the last 3 months.

Ā I will be very happy if I manage 4 000 km cycling for the year.Ā On track thus far. Ā Also aiming for 400km walking for the year. Ā Half way to 365-for-365.Ā Each day has at least a walk or a cycle event, often both. Frosty and throttles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenH Posted July 9, 2022 Share Such a great ride at Buffelsdrift doing my first 50Km, the longest I have ridden since starting in November last year. I've shown myself that the 4 days a week training with a Biokineticist is really paying off, when uphills are an absolute pleasure, well they were until my legs ran out of battery at the 32Km mark but I will work on Nutrition in the future to overcome this problem and the severe leg cramps for the last section. .

ChrisF Posted July 9, 2022 Share Well done Allen. Ā My worst cramps were in a short event ... started way too fast. Ā As you practice more and more, your body adapts and with a bit of luck you wont have more cramps. Ā Figuring out the right nutrition helps .... very easy to over fuel .... Ā For longer days in the saddle also consider electrolites. Ā Ā Time in the saddle will get you there š throttles, AllenH and DJR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
