Guest Agteros Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 That is why I go. No gym bunnies, no posers, no nothing... Plenty of equipment to use at my leisure!
Trubie Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 @OX' date=' Ox buddy we don't go to gym on a Friday night!!! @Trubie100km cycle on Saturday followed by a 5km walk ???Is this a family outing ?? @SlaveDude when I get back on my bike properly I'm going to need a few people to push me up the hills and you the first and the first hill is that freaken Walkerville/Lido hill.[/quote'] Jip, aren't I just the ultimate husband and dad?!
Andyr249 Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Kid, I agree about the gym on Friday night! All the eye candy, other than Slave's on the Ladies thread, are not at gym on Friday nights. Sounds could Slave, when is the SBR intro ride for him? Trubie, are you trying to get into the duathlons with Ox and starting with a bike/walk?

[/quote'] What equipment do you plan on using ?1 x bike & 1 x treadmill ??Come on OX you have my permission to have this evening off ?Go visit your GF, it's cold and @TrubieYou the man!!!!What time you doing the 100km tomorrow ??
Guest Agteros Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 1xbike & 1xthreadmill... but tonight it ain't busy, so I can use each for more than 20 minutes (which means it is a proper session, and not just a bit of posing)
Andyr249 Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Even if there are other people I still go for over 20 minutes. What level do you ride at?
Guest Agteros Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 They make the machines (some) switch off after 20 minutes Level? I go to gym infrequently enough that I have no idea..... Ground level?
Andyr249 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 So I rode the full loop of Suikerbosrand today. It was a little windy, about the same as the first time I rode there a few weeks ago. Time was 2h12m exactly. Profiled the major climbs.1. First Ascent. 2.3km. 8%.2. Dam Hill. 0.3km. 6.6%.3. Long Drag. 1.4km. 6.7%.4. Trubie Climb. 0.9km. 7.2%.5. Bridge Hill. 0.5km. 6.4%.6. Final Climb. 1.6km. 8.4%. (I took the measurement from the start of the railings where it starts to kick up and not those little bumps).Andyr2492009-07-26 08:11:48
Guest Agteros Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 So you basically ride on level 1? Okaay.... I did the following:20 min cycle - HRavg=13620 min run - HRavg=15310 min cycle - HRavg=15410 min run - HRavg=152 Each with about 1 min in between. Max HR was only 162 The cycling was at level 9 (avg 208 watts apparently - whatever that might mean to whoever)' date=' and the running was a steady 10.8 km/h ~ 5:30/km. Was not too difficult, nor meant to be, but a great way to feel how the legs respond when changing disciplines... I had to leave something in the tank for the long race at Babbas Lodge today where I realised that all the road cycling (to the exclusion of MTBing) has made me a bit of a P03FT3R [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley19.gif[/img]. Will have to either do a LOT MORE road cycling, or take the mountain bike out for more regular long cycles.

This means we can actually yrt do 2 laps in less than/just about 5 hrs?Thanks A, its strange how that Trubie climb feels more severe than the others. Guess its because its so short but yet very steep?Good ride, yesterday am was perfect for riding skies were clear, not too cold, crap head wind on our way back though.

Went out normal time from Xbugs, met up with the leaders of the creme de la creme of the south pack(5am gang), and the 3 of us decided to do Bosco's (rode with main group untill after Bosco downhill where they turned right, we went further on and then turned right) , gave me 75k's, but I am glad didn't go longer, would have been little bit less pleasant ride then. The bunch wasn't very aggressive , so it was nice tempo riding, lotsa chatting, & great fun (all the reasons why someone should be cycling)
