    Orthopaedic follow-up scans revealed fragmented bone and strained tendon, likely from being cleated in and flung from the bike with the collision. The unexpected  news from my surgeon dented my morale and, after surfing a wave of panic, I settled down and began to prepare as the operation was scheduled within 24 hours. Prognosis looks good. However, hou ma’ duime as my case discussion meeting with Doc Johan is only tomorrow.👨🏽‍⚕️

    Every few days I shed a few bandages and plasters from the abrasions. Even my spare ribs are far less painful when I bounce around on the crutches. Just call me Wolverine. 🐺

    Anti-inflammatory foods on my menu include: blueberries, beetroot, ginger, avocados, salmon, walnuts (and koeksisters, rehabilitation for the soul, of course). My daily morning coffee kisses the soul too as the recovery journey is physiological, psychological, spiritual and psychosocial. 🥑🫐

    Thank you for all the messages. It has an energy in it that can either build or break. Appreciate the loving kindness in every note, gesture and joke. My online community truly rocks! 🫵🏽

    Be safe out there, Peoples! 💟

    im currently using ONZA Svelts and Canis that was given to me from the people that have taken over the distribution in SA, SUPER FAST TIRES!!

     

    Who are the new distributors of ONZA?

    I loved the Canis tyres on my MTB, but then couldn't find them for a long time after the previous distributors didn't import them any more.

    Was reminded of a joke that includes 'the dawn is nigh' in the punchline as I left pretty early this morning not to be repeated here though. 

    Have passed that little building in the middle of nowhere so many times recently but never inclined to stop ... today thought what the heck. Many from the souf or who have raced in the souf will know it I'm sure 😎

    Not laughing at the pics, but the joke you are referring to.

    There is a pre-episode in which they said the finalists are selected to fit in with what the teams are looking for, for that particular year, so all should have a fair change, at least in that regard...

    Thanks, didn't watch that episode.

    My gut feeling tells me though that the Team is looking for decent all-rounders and not specialists so I don't know if she's what they want.

     

    If I remember correctly it also seemed that the team had their mind made up on what kind of rider they wanted with the men in the previous season. Kind of defeats the purpose of the finals of the academy.

    But that is me without ANY expertise looking in from the outside.  They sure look like they know what they are doing.

    Hello.. I am Mike, I have a strange sense of humor, I can be quite vulgar and I am covered in tattoos, I also have a ginger beard.. I live in jozi but am from Cape Town..

    my late teens and twenties were spent in a haze of drugs and alcohol that nearly killed me, twice.. 

    I got clean 7 years ago and started eating myself to 85kg, at my height that’s quite chubby.. 

    A year ago I bought a mountain bike and started riding trails and on road for fitness.. I found myself spending more time on roads as driving to trails became a hack and time that could be spent cycling so I bought a gravel bike 6 months ago, which I almost exclusively ride road with and I love it..

    I am actually very friendly despite my appearance and a generally happy and pleasant person.. 

    Thank you for having me..!😉🤘🏻
