Dadbod Racing

Goodluck to you to! Have fun

Waiting on my lift to take my bike and bags into check in. My nerves are shattered!!! Good luck to all! I hope the weather gods are kind, let's go and enjoy this race.

Arrgghhh! Crossing everything hoping the weather changes. I'm on route to PE at the moment.

Sportopia Cycles in Woodstock, speak to Reon.

Also into taper, checking my mail for my number. I'll admit I'm nervous!!

Oh man, tell me about it! The family doesn't even include me in plans anymore... Or they tell me where they will be and hopefully I can cycle or run past where they will be!!

Thanks, I'll be popping my cherry.

So we are two weeks away?? 😐

I've had too many bugs in the eye to not ride with anything covering my eyes.

Reading through all the "I sweat alot" posts and it reminded me of a ride I did years back. Massive bunch pushing through this village and we hit a cliimb, this big dude in front of me was wearing a buff but folded in the way that "Len Blue underpants" wore his. The little flap at the back was drenched in sweat and it kept flicking up on riders behind him... Arrgghhh just thinking about it makes me nauseous...🤮

I can recommend the Oakley Jawbreakers and Sutro's... If you need bigger than that, I'd recommend a 1979 VW Bettle's windshield 🙂 The Oakleys especially the Sutro's were designed for you NOT to see any of the frame, I was sceptical at first but after a few rides I can fully recommend them. I do feel a bit like a wanna be douche bag but then I notice alot of other wanna be douche bags so the feeling then subsides.

If this **** does go sit for a long time, does it not then set a "standard" for future prosecutions where drivers are accused of knocking/killing cyclists?

Add the folks who aren't getting their licenses becuase "Uber and Bolt" is more convenient. They actually have no idea that said Uber driver is thick as f*&ck and doesn't actually know what the hell they up to most of the time. A few weeks back I was doing the school run and there's an area where you can safely do a U turn and go back to the main road. Some lazy parent's choose to park there (blocking a secondary rd, but they don't care they save 30 seconds of walking and a few mm's on there shoes) anyway I digress. So I did my U turn and someone blocked the area, basically parked in the street. As I did the U turn, I rolled right up next to her (revved a bit harder than I should have to make her aware) and backed up. She opens her window and shouts let me move. I replied and said no need, you've chosen to park in the street blocking the road, all the parking bays are empty. She again says let me move and I ask her for what? You've chosen to park here illegally so just stay there. While she was talking I pulled up my window and drove off. I then started chatting to my daughters, saying how her children will think that it's ok to disregard law and order.... My eldest then replied saying that that womens daughter is a problem in the class, teachers are always having to talk to her. A few have said here that they will always try and do the right thing for the benefit of their kids and I stand by those rules. I've also enourageed my daughters to stand up and point out wrong doings. It's an uphill battle but lets have faith that law and order will prevail.

Last week Sunday I tagged along with some riders from Rondebosch Common cause I didn't want to to Lower Main into Town on my own. We bomb through Lower main and turn right to go past the Old Castle Brewery and then to turn left onto the N1 and I know that's a hotspot.... Don't I see some cyclist parked off just above those shacks checking his phone obviously waiting for his friends. I want to live in his world!

True story, I'm on the look out for two Titan 24" My girls have ridden their Totems for more than two years now and really do enjoy cycling so they deserve an upgrade.
