Cyclewizz Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Since GO claimed his victories / victims this past weekend a lot more people are scared of him.(Look at the other guy warming up, he looks freaken scared)
Slave Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 I watched that dude do a race. He was so he had to lie down on the ground after his event. He's a pretty good (very young) rider though. He did good in his event. Dad had to carry his bike off after he collapsed in a panting heap. GO obviously did not put in the same intensity because he walked off the track. Go figure.
Guest Agteros Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I'll see what I can do tonight (before or after the coffee 'meeting') Should post the rest of the pics in their own thread...
Slave Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 This coffee meeting sounds very mysterious. Care to share, or should this be taken to another chatroom?
Cyclewizz Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 BTW. I'm back. After my few days rest' date=' I had a lekker ride yesterday arvie. Same 47 k loop, up butchers, Columbine ave, Lido hill and home. New personal best time of 1hr 32 min. A few months ago, I was kinda happy with 1 hr 50 and then overjoyed with 1hr 40. Now looks like I need to reset the benchmark and aim for 1 hr 30. Kid, I know you gonna have some hilarious remark. Put your money where your mouth is and come race me over this route. That secret training is starting to work. Thanks GOv2.0.[/quote'] Hey Slave you can't just give it out all the time sometimes you also have to take it (take it on the chin like Joost ) besides I can only chirp you during the week because you far away on the weekend I'm on my best behaviour - NOT.You know my calculator doesn't lie, 1hr 50min - 1hr32min is 18 min difference but you've been telling us how you 9 min's faster everytime you go out and we all know you've been out more than twice, something isn't adding up ???So now you wanna race, VROOM VROOM.Cool, let's first do this loop as a ride so I know where I'm going and then we can race. We can do the loop on Saturday ??
Slave Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 Kid, I doubt your calculator not at all. Maybe the reading skills are a bit off. If I had the inclination, I would go back and count the nines. I recall only one of them when I was chuffed to get to the turn (Columbine into Old Vereeniging road) nine minutes faster that I had managed before. (and that was only half way.) The rest of that ride was not as remarkable. At one time I was getting to the turn at one hour, it's now down to about 43 to 44 minutes. Basically, the timing here is aimed at how fast I'm doing the hill work. I have made 18 minutes on my first time, yeah. And that is only on the climbs. Net result, I'm becoming a better hill climber. Am I the best yet? Not by any stretch of the immagination? (Yeah, I know, I'm a legend, in my own lunch-box.) The rest of the route is pretty much downhill and flat from there. Meet me at Klipriver and Vaal today at about 16H45. We going the same loop in reverse. A nice slow recovery ride today. You should manage to keep up. After today, we do that loop again Thursday. We come past Klipriver and Vaal every day on our way out, either up Klipriver, or up Lido hill. Lido beat me down last time so I have a psycological thing to overcome today. Aint no way, Jose, that I'm going to be in shape to ride Sunday if I race you on that loop Saturday, or is that part of the objective? Make me tired so I get dropped on the way "down the steps" Sunday? (At least I'll have Nance to keep me company.) BTW, whats happened to Obelix? He's been MIA for a loooong time.
Trubie Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 BTW, whats happened to Obelix? He's been MIA for a loooong time. Slave has some scores to settle it seems?!I am not too sure I wanna become one of his victims... The combo of all that secret training, the forced rest and the doepa, seems to be working well for the slaveman.Maybe he's become a slave off his own addiction Obelix told me that he's gonna take it easy after the big A, for a while. Ride the MTB. I've also learnt that he's having lotsa pressure at work. Sure he'll be back soon. Maybe those menhirs are just too heavy to carry on the bike at the moment.
Cyclewizz Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 You've done well Slavey, proud of you!!!! I'm going to disappoint you but GreyOwlv2.0 is the ledgend. I never saw him ride at the track but I've seen him 'play' riding and freak his super fast. Slavey, you know I'd never trick you What I said was that we ride your loop on Saturday then we can race it in a few weeks time. You are riding on Saturday aren't you ?I can only ride during the weekend, so you can continue with your secrect trainning.
Slave Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 What about the menhirs at the office too? Forunately, my meneer is a miss. Pressure, pressure everywhere, somethings gonna blow. Nuwbie, nothing like a good dose of endorphins to make a ride worthwhile. And all that adreneline dodging cars and taxis. Man, I been hooked on cycling loooong time now. All those endorphins and less pain than running. Yebo, cycling, she's got me hooked.

(An if I believe that, then I believe in Santa too.)Tell you what. We either do fast and furious short loop Saturday round Allewynspoort, or we can go and do the hills of Mondeor. Personally, I wanna try and save my legs for Sunday. But that offer to do the hills is there. They really have helped me a lot. When I lived in Mondeor, I did a 3.5 hr 94.7. (Yeah, the route was a lot easier then, but still not a terrible time for a 1st effort. I got my neighbour into that route and we do it twide a week. He is joining us Sunday BTW. And I think Pierre is going along as well. And all this secret training is thanks to .... Next exiting episode, next week.
