  1. Stop farting around and get one of these ....... Then you dont have to stick to tar roads. Or worry about oil leaks. Only worry might be fuel. And some other things - but not oil leaks. Best start your blog ASAP
  2. school fees, its an issue. But, at a recent school function had a chat with the headmaster. His insights were brilliant. His basic take was that the current school model at junior and primary school is getting outdated and needs to change. It should not longer focus on "teaching" information, but skill sets. Teach skills and the rest will follow. The basic premise being how do you teach kids for careers that dont yet exist, or will change within the next 5 yrs. And in that moment I realised my the school fees were worth it. If your lad can blog and program and ride a bike. His life will be fine.
  3. welcome russiaM... join the Wannabees club in your area. hopefully the lung burning is not so bad
  4. Can someone please pass this onto Wayne. I am sure he will be bitterly disappointed. Or not (for those who remember his interactions with CWC). https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/178287-breaking-news-cycle-lab-acquires-chris-willemse-cycles/
  5. Like secret emails and fair pricing
  6. Okay, maybe an email address to ask some more questions ?
  7. Okes, just want to confirm, does the 2 day trek follow the same route as the one day ? From the maps it looks kinda like an out and back ride along the same route?
  8. "I'm stuck behind people now" :clap:
  9. Ok, this changes the picture a weee bit. Maybe the time for a "holiday" is on the cards.
  10. oh ok.So we do the pakhuis pass first ..... now it makes sense. Lovely campsite at the top of the pakhuis pass. great walks and rock scrambling up there. We are going to stay at Algeria, and the Mrs will need to get back to the cottage after dropping me off at the start. And trust me .. aint NO single way I am doing this on a gravel bike. Soft plush dual suspension ALL the way.
  11. How does it work with the spouse if only party gets a job offer?
  12. Okes, just a question or 3 in terms of organisation (and trying to get Mrs Slowbee to do this). Any single track ? Anything technical ? Is it mostly gravel roads? Also the route, does it go past the Algeria cottages? Cant really tell from the route on the website.
  13. I cant see that well. It is all the testosterone.
  14. Reading the info Idris will be the bond. Ticks all the box's.
  15. you mean they kicked you out the house?
  16. You will find an old fashioned bike pump in your spokes if 'ol Tom becomes the new 007. Not even land grabs would top that for a world disaster.
  17. Thanks Roux! Going to apply for a green slip holiday weekend
  18. Is this the usual cedaberg 100 miler or another event? I recall another 100 miler event in the area as well, or possibly the same one. As an aside. Google of cedeberg 100 miler brings this up .. https://erau64.wixsite.com/cederberg100milerfree-gravel-travel-entry/ EDIT: which means I am entering
  19. My OCD says there is no bacon so why bother.
  20. Great promo of the ride !
  21. Eish, sorry Eddy !
  22. How did it go Eddy ?
  23. How much is a Black Cotic Racer X frame worth ? With matching steel front fork? All attachments for V or disc calipers and panniers in place. Asking for a friend kinda thing
  24. Ummm mind blown ... panniers on a dualie ? I thought those would be a no no ?
