Shane commented on the post, ride routes 17th & 18th january 9 years, 11 months ago
Hi everyone, the Tranny Hills ride is preparation for the slower hill climbers and for people who want to get in some training for the 3 or 5 Dams Challenge. This weeks ride route is one that some have done with me before. Although last weeks ride was really out there, it did highlight the fact that you need to bring adequate: Hydration additives,…[Read more]

I saw it and liked it. I tried on a XXXL size to find that it’s too small. I wish these manufacturers would standardize their sizing. Anywhere else I would comfortably fit a XXL.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE BASS NOT TREBLE. I just wish the manufacturers would use real people to measure up their sizes properly. Rant over. -

Hi Emily its not the speed, its the quality. I hope to go out on the Sunday regularly and gradually increase the distances and the vary the climbs to take in more of the scenery.
Lets face it if you cant climb like Lance Armstrong, you might as well enjoy the view on the way up. I always do. 9 -10 kph up Welshpool is ok.

The Course will vary from week to week to incorporate different hills ie Gradients and length of climb.

Always wanted to ride in the hills? Gave it a couple of goes and got spat out the back of the group before you even got to a Hill? Got spat out during the climb and then got lost?
I’m trying to generate some interest for those altitude challenged riders who would like to improve on their hill climbing ability.
Suitable for Transitional and Main 3…[Read more] -

So Paul, have other people reported this problem to date or is it something that Champion Systems are working on rectifying that you know of?

Shane started the topic Bib Nicks – delaminating padding in the forum Kit Chat 10 years, 8 months ago
The padding in the two pairs of bib nicks that I have is delaminating. Or best described as the padding is bunching up into a lump under the orange padding in the nicks, between the lycra.
I don’t think I am alone on this topic but both pairs of bib nicks have the same fault.
Is this something the Kit Committee can look into with the manufacturer? -

Well done Laurensia.

Shane started the topic Tuesday Thursday Early Bird – Transitional/M3 in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 1 month ago
Its getter warmer and lighter in the morning now and there seems to be a mad pace with the 2 early groups. There is now a 3rd option for those who aren’t quite up to that speed.
If you are not up to breaking Strava records there is now a transitional group option for those who can handle a 27kph avg speed.
This group will leave after the first…[Read more] -

Shane replied to the topic Pushing back when you stand on your pedals in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 5 months ago
I’d give the professional riders far more credit than that Nev. Its all about the timing of the pedal stroke and when you start to stand out of the saddle. The pause happens when people start to stand up when the pedals are at TDC or 6 and 12 o’clock. The standing pedal stroke should be commenced more at the 2 o’clock position so that your weight…[Read more]

Only too happy to oblige Steve, since having a total knee replacement my hill climbing prowess is not what it used to be, although some would say i didnt have any prowess to start with.
If anyone would like to ride at a slower pace and climb at a slower pace then this ride could be for you. Best suited to Transitional riders wanting to experience…[Read more] -
Shane replied to the topic Pushing back when you stand on your pedals in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 5 months ago
What appears to be pushing back is really poor riding technique in that the rider is trying to stand up on the pedals during the wrong part of the pedal stroke. The only thing worse than this is the rider who employs that same poor technique and swerves the back wheel across like a giant front wheel sweeper at the same time.
