    I decided last week to try a light helping of “the commute”. Melville-Samrand & back, 40km per direction. How bad can it be? I want to thank the old-timers on here for keeping the thread alive - I pretty much spent the weekend getting psyched (&scared!) Well, I survived today, all of 80km & 1200m of climbing ???? I’ll do 2 more this week & post a bit of reflection over the weekend ????

    I've been following along and still keep an eye for updates everyday - truly inspirational Yep, I've been using Duolingo for French for the past 18 months...I've discovered this week I can actually READ some french and can follow the Classics with French commentary. Dans la roue, dans la roue! 15-30mins every day works a treat.

    Does anyone know who the Ellsworth agents/dealers are in SA (and JHB)? I managed to bend the hanger on my Merlin 5.25, which is (allegedly) interchangeable with an Ellsworth Truth hanger. Help appreciated...

    Take a look at the "planning a ride" section on motorbike adventure site (http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?board=1.0) While you're there also look at the ride report section, Lesotho features often. I took the family and toys to Rhodes, nice hiking, motor biking, 4x4ing, running and just plain fresh-air-breathing.

    I changed to gripshifts after one of my trigger shifters were wrecked when the bars swung around in a minor off, hitting the top tube. The pair was half the cost of one replacement trigger. Risk of damage completely removed. Super easy to use, light and gives the front end a clean look.
