NotSoBigBen Posted April 28, 2016 Share An LTG inspired photo...from an odd angle. Had a really interesting ride today, been working on my cadence in spinning, today on flatttish 42 km ride did the spin the legs on easier gear, found I felt out of breathe but the legs kept going for longer. And when they started whining I just ignored them, had I had more time I could have carried on -even did some climbs (slowly but not too slowly) in the big blade And managed to lift front wheel nicely over some things ..progress yah Uni. ]When I started cycling all those years ago 2 things were drilled into us by the 'senior' riders in the Lido bunch - He who spins wins Riders riding the small gears at the start will be the ones riding the big gears at the finish Escapee.. and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch the stalker Posted April 28, 2016 Share Sunrise over the new Mall Of Africa. Can't believe how busy it was already when I went through there this morning - bunch of idiots wanting to go there on the opening day... Lexx and Uni 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted April 28, 2016 Share FFS! How the hell are we to post pics after Gummi has been in this thread. Anyhoo. Yesterday saw me being pried out of bed, must have been a crowbar that my wife used, after only a couple of hours' sleep. Tried to empty the bar on Tuesday night, because my mate is moving to the UK. Went home. installed new chain and kitted NW ring ( a 5 minute job, when not inebriated) and an hour later went to bed. "misplacing" my multitool in the garage during this little adventure. Started at Avianto, a bit of Phambili and then the cradle track, all the way past Valverde back to Avianto. Really struggled in the beginning, luckily the alcohol infused sweat served as a bit of a regmakertjie, and I had a most enjoyable ride, albeit very slow and sedate.

Lurch the stalker Posted April 28, 2016 Share took me an an 1:35 to get to work this morning - all because people want to go shopping - I seriously don't get it. N3 north was a parking lot.Somebody I work with is still stuck on the N3. I'd forgotten about the mall opening today, otherwise I would never have ridden that way.The road was already full of parked cars, which I can only assume means the parking lots were already full.

People were queuing outside the Game store since 6am this morning apparently. I also wondered why they didn't open yesterday. I mean there is still construction all round the place, what would one day sooner have changed (besides not completely f***ing up the traffic for people trying to get to work today) A friend of mine told me she is meeting somebody for coffee 'quickly' this morning at 09:00 because she has a meeting at 10:00 - she is now not talking to me for my not so subtle explanation of what an idiot she is for believing she can go there quickly and still make a 10:00 meeting...haha Uni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanievb Posted April 28, 2016 Share we had a ride and braai at 3 Silos.We have a little relay race happening the 7th of May so we wanted to practice a bit, we got sidetracked by the local trail builder who invited us to try a new XCO section he is working on. The new Section is only 1.2km and is way too tough for my current fitness (and skill). My my avg HR was about 179, needless to say I did not finish the rest of the planned ride and opted for some beer and braai. view from the top as you exit the main trail i don't walk, coming back after rinsing the plates Rocket-Boy, Lurch the stalker and Uni 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted April 28, 2016 Share explain this last bit?I guess the thinking was those using easy gears at the beginning would be saving their legs and still have something left at the end .... Uni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one big rock garden is seriously tough to carry speed in and without speed it goes very badly... fanievb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
