wheelz Posted February 9, 2009 Share what you researching for, and where is SSISA?is that at UCT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted February 9, 2009 Share Hows that for unfair. I'm 5 years too old for the trial and 15 years too young for a pensioners card. And on top of that I had to pay Jeroen to setup my bike earlier in the year. (worth every little cent though) Other than that I fit all the criteria.

The Doctor Posted February 10, 2009 Share This is a really good opportunity to get a comprehensive testing and do some really hard riding in a controlled environment. Never mind the bike fit - There is a 2 month waiting period if you don't do the trial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted February 10, 2009 Share No Biopsies. Just a few little blood samples and a lot of suffering on the indoor ergometer! Sorry. Forgot to mention it is a men's trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
