WANNABEE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN INFO

Handicap Explained

We want to apply a correction factor for gender and age and therefore level all the results to equality.

Every rider plus his bicycle and equipment will be weighed. This will give us their total riding mass. Based on that weight and their time up the hill we will be able to calculate the total POWER output based on following formula:

Overall Watts Formula
Wrider = Cfriction x V x P + Cair x (V + Vwind)^2 x V+ Cslope x P x Slope% x V + acceleration

Once we know your total POWER (WATTS) output we will apply a correction factor for your gender and your age.

For a male youngster below 19y the correction factor is 19-his age/8
Exp: if he's 16y then we will add 0.375 x his output watts to his corrected total

For a female youngster below 19y the correction factor is 19-her age/5
Exp: if she's 16y then we will add 0.6 x her output watts to her corrected total

For a male above 30y the correction factor is his age-30/100
Exp: if he's 45y then we will add 0.15 x his output watts to his corrected total

For a female above 30y the correction factor is her age-30/25
Exp: if she's 45y then we will add 0.6 x her output watts to her corrected total

THANKS TO THIS CORRECTION FACTOR EVERYONE IS ABLE TO WIN THE WANNABEE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN CLIMB!

Hello to all the Wannabees

Seems like a lot of people have made this a long weekend. Still had a nice turnout on Saturday. Medium ride with lekka coffee at Dulce’s afterwards.


I would encourage riders to join us after rides for coffee. It is a good way to get to know your fellow club members.

Main event for the week will be the

THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN HILLCLIMB

next Saturday. Heard from a few members that they felt that they had no chance. That is not what it is all about. This is a serious fun event with a handicap system that gives everyone a good chance.

Come and join us. Details on the BLOG

Please look on the BLOG. The first of the new MTB rides has been put on the menu. Winter time is great fir the MTB. The first will be a ride for all and the second a more serious MTB ride

Pieter has printed new tops. Please contact him or Petie if you need one.

Otherwise, watch out, winter fat seems to accumulate quite quickly around the waste. Keep on peddling, the DC is around the corner

See you at the Hill climb

Hello to all the Wannabees

I have been overrun with e-mails regarding races (road and off road) so I have asked Michel to place the ‘posters’/links on the BLOGG. Locally there will be the first of the mountain bike series at Helderberg farm. See the info through the link or contact Petie.

Another worthwhile initiative is BEN. This is an initiative that we have had a look at and found to be worth supporting. They are running a circuit type race in Simonstown area with the exclusive aim to raise money to help getting the underprivileged to set up cycle shops and get youngsters to start riding bikes again. Try to get a few friends and let’s support this as a club.
There should be a link to BEN from the BUZZ site

I have not seen any results of races so I cannot report back

Our HILLCLIMB is in 2 weeks time. All is set and we `are looking forward to a lekka fun day on the 1st of MAY.


All the detail is on the BLOG

I have spent the weekend on a golf tour in Natal (you know those things John regularly attends!) but can now definitely state that cycling is cheaper and less frustrating. This of course does not mean that one cannot try again.

Make sure that you get one of the first long sleeve tops. We have made them and should be available from Pieter or Petie

Hi Charles

Our recent telephone conversation refers regarding marketing opportunities to the members of the Wannabee Cycle Club.

Having recently moved to Somerset West, I joined the team at Health Matters (11 Rue de Jacqueline Street opposite the Somerset West Country Club), where I am responsible for the holistic health and wellness programmes. Ozone Wellness offers a unique approach to holistic health and our signature treatments offer the best in .

One such treatment is the Athletes Combo Treatment, which consists of a sports massage together with ozone sauna therapy. It is designed to enhance your training and speed-up post-event recovery. Ozone sauna therapy removes lactic acid from muscle tissues and reduces inflammation, swelling and pain. Ozone also stimulates the immune system and improves blood circulation. The additional oxygen in the system enhances performance and endurance. This signature treatment will give you a competitive advantage!

I wish to extend an exclusive special offer to all club members as follows:

1st 10 club members to book a sports massage will receive a free ozone sauna session valued at R200*.

From 1 May all members will be entitled to a 10% discount on presentation of their club membership card for therapies offered by Ozone Wellness.

Please note that the 10% discount will not apply to special offers which include free treatments, such as * above.

For further information on our range of products and services, please visit www.ozonewellness.co.za.
