I got lucky with the magic gear, but lots of eye rolling might have been involved ????. I tried it first with an old chain that was lying around. Wanted to make sure I didn't butcher the new chain.

Took my newly built SS for some exploring.

Thx guys, this will mean so much!

Nicole's colleagues and friends are compiling a memory booklet for the small service we are having in celebration of her life. Would you guys object if we include screenshots of some the posts in this thread?

Let me know if you need help with this. Nicole's closest friend takes this very hard, please keep her in your prayers as well.

We adopted these two chihuahuas and my sister donated her old anatomic socks to be converted into jerseys for them. White sock/jersey was given to Heidi and blue sock/jersey to Abby.

My sister's Australian Cattle Dog almost died in the beginning of the year because of a digestive obstruction. He needed an emergency op and spent 5 days at the vet with various meds, drips and very strong antibiotics. Luckily he pulled through as my dad passed away a month before that and my mom 14 months before that. Our vet advised that we feed small portions of soft food, typical canned meat for dogs, for about a week and then chicken and rice, still in small portions, then dry dog food which we wetted a bit and then onto normal food and portions. The first few days we also gave lost of electrolytes and probiotics in the form of Protexin powder. At 11 years Dingo is like a new dog, very energetic and going on like a puppy.

Very slight breeze here in Potch this morning. The trip home yesterday afternoon had a very strong westerly wind, it was a terrible crosswind.

Have a set of 3x9 Alivio shifters. The rear shifter had a crash and the lever took a knock but it is still working 100%. Free to a good home

Did get a set op spd's yet?

My commuter bike celebrates is 10th birthday today. We have done almost 42 000km together. It is a Silverback Reno, 2007 model. Bought at the LBS the moment it landed on the floor. Still my favourite bike. I have 4 at the moment. I changed a few components over the years but the frame, brakes, front derailleur, wheels and shifters are still original. Some of the best money ever spent.

The whole extended family in and paid for. Accommodation was sorted two months ago already. See you on the roads!

Jammer om te hoor.

Thanks! Pedestrians all over are a species like no other.

With all the extras like lights and bells etc your will barely have space for grips one of these days I probably should have ringed the bell but what baffles me is that she made eye contact and could see the approaching traffic and still continued on her merry way.

I have said for the last couple of years that in my experience pedestrians are worse than cars. And lo and behold yesterday I had a collision with a pedestrian who was walking in the road. About half to three quarters of a metre from the sidewalk which at that specific stretch of road is actually quite broad to cater for the masses. She didn't move out of the way even though she could see the traffic approaching from behind me. So I hit her with the handlebar because I couldn't swerve out for her otherwise I would have been hit by a car. She immediately claimed that the car caused the accident and that she was on the sidewalk. Luckily nothing is broken except my temper. Grazes on my knee and a hole in my elbow. Best of all is my helmet who save my head.

Old habits die hard I suppose

That is lucky! I'm a big fan of WTB saddles myself. It is just a mission to find them in my part of the world.

Beautiful! Where did you get the saddle?

Ek wonder ook altyd. Mens voel sleg om hulle net so te los.

I am. It is in my backyard

To everybody riding tomorrow, enjoy and I hope to meet a few hubbers in Parys. NS. It is quite hot today, remember the hydration and sunscreen!
