Cars might get a shock at how many cyclists there are."
Shav Bird replied to Gus K's discussion Compression clothing, does it work"Well said. Again I choose to wear them for recovery purposes mainly rather than during activities as the benefits are more noticeable for me. Buts that's my opinion."
durian rider replied to Gus K's discussion Local history: the Treblig bicycle of Strathalbyn"They should put it on youtube though. Thats where people will find this video easier. Have ' South Australian made bicycles' in the description text and google search will pick it up easier. Or they will just find this thread. ;)"
durian rider replied to Gus K's discussion Local history: the Treblig bicycle of Strathalbyn"Sweet.
I remember my first ever 100k ride. Happy Valley to Strath and back. I got glucose exhaustion at Meadows on the way back and crashed out for 3 hours. I made it home in the end. Great roads out there.
Would have been tuff going on the old…"
Roly replied to Gus K's discussion Compression clothing, does it work" Choice said:
The rationale for wearing compression garments is solid, but the evidence is weak. There are many studies that have been done on compression wear, but the findings are mixed. Findings also vary among individuals. While some…"
Jon M replied to Gus K's discussion Win one of 8 safety items from Outdoor ID"Gillian and Mick - thanks for the feedback. I've not used either of them but have been thinking about a RoadID for a while, if it's much of a muchness between the brands then the 15% off is a good incentive."
Patrick O'Kane replied to Gus K's discussion Win one of 8 safety items from Outdoor ID"It's only the wrist band holding your wrist together, DON'T take it off."
" @ Jon M purchased approx 30 ID wrist straps and ID Tags approx 18 months ago for the group I ride with and have had no issues or concerns on these. I use mine 3-4 times a week velcro still fine and details can be read easily."

Compress away."

Pele Ton said… Pleased to see you enjoying yourself in Barmera. Nice quiet place to ride. But your right not many hills. Those magpies have been there for years, I go a different way to avoid them.

Loc Nguyen said… Hello Gus,
Firstly thanks for building such an awesome community. Whilst it doesn't show it from my limited posts, the Adelaide Cyclist website is one of my favourite cycling specific websites. Its great to meet, albeit briefly the creator.
Also thanks for the tips and kind encouragements. I'm taking your advice on board and will be intending to ride as much hills as time permits so I can be in shape for the 2nd edition of the "bakers dozen".Cya out there on the road.

Training plan part 2, riding with a professional cycling coach

Why should you get professional cycling coaching?
Cricket and footy teams have a coach to watch them play and golf clubs have a resident pro who helps player’s swing and approach to the game so why shouldn’t cyclists who are serious about improving their riding, keeping up with their mates or perhaps the occasional race, have a coach?
Last week I wrote about my fitness…

Forgive me, it's been 9 months since I last blogged.
Since that time, and through winter, I took a good look at my cycling and fitness. I began, and some of you remember and joined in, the 5 kg challenge. Others lost 5kgs or more kilos but I only made a small dent in my last 5gks. It was very obvious, however, that any weight-loss results in increased climbing…
