Lynskey

Wow good work. The lady is still doing mine. No rush there. I am going back to Knysna in a few weeks so will see process. She does amazing work. Yours looks fantastic. Nice job.

Robertson to Franschhoek. Lift from Villiersdorp to the top of the pass. It is closed. Luckily they let me through. A lot of rock falls. But they are busy on it. Last day tomorrow until I head back. Happy Wednesday everyone.

Barrydale to Robertson. Just beautiful out there. The evidence of the recent floods is everywhere. Magnificent day to ride.

Got a friend who has just started mountain biking. She is in George. Anyone got any ideas of clubs or people to chat to that area? She is picking it up quickly. Preferably a girls group. Many thanks.

Not that great. Was in Knysna for 5 months.

Calitzdorp to Barrydale. Nice day out.

Sunset in Calitzdorp.

Prince Albert to Oudtshoorn. Actually pretty cold on the top of the Swartberg Pass. I have a dream... to do that ride with no luggage one day 😂

Any weather updates yet?

I have ridden in before. It was just taking too long. I had no desire to sleep there. Plus with luggage it stopped being fun. That was when I turned. I don't know if it will ever happen but I really hope they do something to fix that road up. It is an enjoyable ride.

Did you make it all the way? I stopped before the last climb. With all my stuff on I wasn't prepared to keep going. The road was intense. Even the high clearance vehicles were telling me it was taking them over 3 hours. It was simply gorgeous though.

From PA to half to die hell. That road is in another condition. Rough as nuts. Saw many vehicles coming out and going in. Good business for the little place at the end. Good to see. Flowers were beyond beautiful.

Try omnico. They do ryder.

Prince Albert to Merweville. Headwind the whole way. I guess lucky not to get wet but the wind certainly took its toll. Nice to be here for a night or two. Happy Saturday!

No Sir. But packs really small. It sits on top of the rack. Tent then sleeping mats and sleeping bag wrapped in plastic bag. Does this picture help? New tent and sleeping bag will be acquired soon. Looking for funds. This has served me 3 good years.

The ghost of Uniondale. Prince Albert. Love this town. Had a good day. Socks are for inspiration. Happy weekend all.

Knysna to Uniondale. Fantastic day. I did squeak in a small lift near the top of the pass. Just too much luggage. But what a day. Road is a bit shot!

Sure did. Few drops of rain. Bit of wind. Nothing out of the ordinary. Good news it was free.

Unless they ride a single speed, right? 😄

I do hope he was insured.

I am not sure how but need to inform the Tokai guys. That looks like an enduro rig. Someone will notice it there.

Do the participants not sign a waiver when entering? If paying participants want to go ahead then that should be allowed. Races are getting softer. The race organisers are in touch with disaster management. Calling it off in my opinion is a mistake. Not a tough guy story. Just let me take the risk I signed up for. I am sitting in Knysna right now. They are pulling down the bridge and all the tents where the end takes place. I don't see the point. I am not a tough guy as some people seem to have thought. But allow the paying entrant to decide. If you want to stay in bed let them. If you want to ride it let them. Why not? Because of some rain? Well blow me over with a feather. This world is changing for the worst. I heard there may be a slight wind tomorrow. Y'all who are shooting me down betting get under your duvets and get the hot chocolate out. Put on some Kenny G.

How to make a million without doing much. That is the new name for this race. 2012 we rode epic in conditions that Columbus would have been too scared to do. What is this world coming to.

Few drops of rain and all hell breaks loose. Let's see how the refund policy works here...

Don't aim so low. A diamondback should suffice. I greet almost everyone. Greet me back or not I don't care. 😉
