The middel mannetjie is still above water 😁

Raining again Bob, but decided to go out instead of sitting on the IDT Not even the Gulls looked happy with the wind and rain Todays reward

Image search seems to confirm its Jan Smuts

Another 85 km on the IDT (rained most of the day) My Polar is revving into the red like a 2 stroke while my seat interface is begging for a ride outside

Another day and ride in the fog, picture taken at lunchtime today

Another day in the fog, average temperature over 4hrs of riding = 4.5 Deg C

So... 6.5 years later how did the development develop 🤟

Yesterdays ride for Rapha was rain free and the combination of sun and clouds was quite spectacular in the later afternoon

Rained most of the day so 80km on IDT with Rouvy it was. A bit sad from a training perspective when these are the most calories in 2021 😬

You forgot the “and ve vant to hear only 1 click JA!” When they do the safety demo showing you how to use the seatbelt I wonder who remembers that tv advert from about 20 years ago?

I feel your pain My problem is my total lack of cycle training, after today’s 63 km on my dikwil (mtb) my neck, thumbs and wrists are yelling surrender, think I will just aim to ride each day instead of chasing the distance

Thanks....I'll leave the IDT for the last resort Just fitted all my mudguards onto my dikwil and going to hit the road soon, looks like the rain will only be a spit and a spot this afternoon

This morning at about 10am when i registered, the leader was already on 405 km.... and here i'm still thinking about venturing outside to clock up km 1 😆 #Janeeswaar

Ja i don't understand why its mostly like this, i flew once from Luanda to JNB on an old 747 SP belonging to Angolan airline TAG, it was so cold that there was mist visible from the air vents....luckily its a relatively short flight

Posting pictures of Rapha rides in the sunshine should not be allowed yes I'm jealous

I’m not sure, was there and remember the lightening strike but tbh until you mentioned it I did not join the dots.

Sometimes there can be 2 real baastids sitting at the pointy end, I bet it was a much more comfortable temp at their end. Normally if it’s a night flight after dinner they set it warm to encourage the pax to sleep nicely.... less hassle for the hostees if everyone falls asleep 💤

That’s like paying tax in advance..... money in someone else’s bank... 😆

As a newby at this, whats a “roundel” ?

Came upon some very sad news recently, Glen Warden a former colleague passed away in a plane crash recently. Glen will be known to most as the "Black widow" Mirage 111 display pilot Here's a great picture of the aircraft with Glen flying The Journey into Aviation - Glen Warden - Smoke On Go

Sir Lewis Hamilton in future if you please….. https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/2021/dec/15/arise-sir-lewis-hamilton-knighted-three-days-after-f1-title-heartbreak

Judging by the amount of mtb's i see around here with kiddie trailers attached, i imagine this could do well in Europe. Alltho, if i was dad using one of these.... I'd be worried about my front teeth

"Just do it"..... famous quote

But Pi x D does not take into account the tyre flex due to weight on the wheel 😁 Edit: Sorry late to the party see Eldron beat me to it

He had a feeling with an engine. Didn't matter whether it was a quad bike, an electric jeep - you know, the small things for children - or whatever. He was always busy with driving. Every day he needed to be on it."
