Single speed, classy!

Willowmore got 50mm+ of rain, that's all I know. Water should run down by Trans.

Foot of Brickies, hectic.

That's one big kitty... Does he eat Pampers or Petleys?

...and she's the sister of Geoff Kabush...

It's coming down pretty hard now. Really strong winds, its raining sideways.

Bucketing. And WindGuru (even though I don't take it as gospel) says the "real" rain will only start at around 8pm.

At least Alec got some nice open water for IM swim training now.

Reminds me of a case a few months back where a company sent a driver to go dump expired food. Not sure where he was supposed to dump it, but it was supposed to be destroyed and disposed of. Driver decided, Hau.... and promptly drove to some township and distributed the food between the people. Lots of people got sick. Guess who got the blame, the company, and not the driver. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Mass-poisoning-Food-expired-in-2003-20110110

And this damn you can't see from the road. Then there is another one right next to Seaview road as well, and it'll go over the road again today. Even before this, Lake Farm was FULL. Usually you can see a bit of an island between the two halves, there is none. I wouldn't be surprised if this rains pushes it up close to the road.

...and the real rains are only coming later this afternoon.

Hectic. They really should build some kind of wall around that place or something. Ugh I dunno.

Your avatar affects one's eye-sight

Is this from the rains we're having now or from years back when it flooded? I remember this happening years back, but wasn't aware it did again?

A word of advice. Cycling takes a LONG time to show results, its not something you can just start and next week you are a champ. I knew guys in the past that bought all the kit, etc, and gave up riding 6 months later because they expected to be winning races by then. In other words, don't get into "road racing", first get into cycling and find your feet.

Its a bit wet out this way... Personally, I'm sick. Stuffing up my Trans training AGAIN. Tuesday morning did 12 repeats up Brickmakers Kloof, and in the evening a 75km MTB semi-hard MTB ride. Wednesday morning got dressed for my session and just before I went out decided that the scratch in my throat was'nt feeling to lekker. By Wednesday night, floored. Eyes watering like a swamp frog, etc.

...says the roadie

And through and exposed neck as well, hence the buff.

What are you talking about? My frame is a 29er.

I wouldn't fork out more than R5k

Nee.

The UD carbon is a beaut up close.

Either 1) Double up on socks, or 2) Thermal socks Leg warmers. Long sleeve skins on upper body, cycling shirt over that, with a jacket over everything. 3 Layers on upper body. You got 2 layers on your arms then, so no need for arm warmers. And BUFF for the face, trust me on this on. Pull it up so that just your eyes stick out. And obviously clear glasses to keep the wind out of your eyes. Buff also keeps the wind out of your ears.
