Clyde.S.Dale replied to Brett dracup's discussion Broken Garmin edge 500 screen"I have done exactly the same thing with my Garmin, only fell from the bike stem to the plastic tray of my ute (less than a metre distance) and it cracked the display.

I also hunted…"

Clyde.S.Dale replied to Brett G-R's discussion eva foam rollers- does anybody use them"I was put onto these at my Gym and now use one both before and after riding and swear by it. Yes, they hurt till your muscles get used to it but I have found I recover so much quicker after using these pre & post ride."

Be carefull with sugary snacks such as lollies and gels as these will give you a quick…"
Clyde.S.Dale replied to Nathan Ross's discussion Around the Bay in A Day 2011"G'day All,

Ian Clifford replied to Clyde.S.Dale's discussion Around the Bay in a Day"
I am heading across for the ride; I am looking forward to the challenge. This weather is not helping my preparation, but I think that I am ready. As this course is essentially a circle I expect to get a head wind somewhere, but am hoping for…"
