Anyone know what possibilities there are to 'ship' a caravan down to Capetown? My 73yo uncle has been given a caravan by a relative, he wants to send it down by train but has no idea who to contact or where to start...

Maybe I can get in an easy ride or indoor this afternoon, not so much the injuries from my fall that's the problem but I've been struggling with 'half a cold' for what feels like days on end now... The arm has healed well, no pain unless I happen to bump it or put pressure on it. Stitches out day after tomorrow ????

Yip.... Nowhere nêrens niks bogerrol.... ????

I am disappoint ????

One day when I'm big I hope I'm as cool as you ????

I'm on grandad duty this afternoon, there's always ice cream and milkshakes so some consolation I'll be relying on you Gen and the rest to keep me up to date please!

I only know the 50k 'little crater' route if that'll help?

Sorted... ????

Didn't have anything on my 'schedule' ???? What time does it start on TV? Need to just organise my daily nap around that... #retirementFTW

I'm still wearing the free one from Discovery 94.7 a few years ago ... has held up pretty well! As interesting as this discussion is I'm not sure how that would have helped in this particular case or am I missing something?

Just heard she has been found, safe and getting medical attention for minor injuries

From a cracker local club TT race yesterday afternoon, to the ER this morning after a pretty fast gravel bike fall ???? Had to be 'stitched' in layers the doc said, 7 internal and 13 external

Should Tapatalk be working yet?

Flippin heck you blokes going to Le Tour?

Yes and you should not be hanging your mountain bike like that! It should be sleeping comfortably somewhere safe inside beside your bedside ... [emoji12] Seriously though I would suggest a brake bleed anyway.

*bites tongue*

A couple of us decided yesterday that since it's mother's day we would get out at 5am, have a lekker ride and be home nice and early to spend the day with our families! Interesting how the temperature drops (enough to feel it for sure) as the sun starts to creep up ... min 0° but totally bearable

Should have known then already that it would get a bit 'inclement' out here in the south but hey once you're committed ....

Perfect example I guess ... 26" frame with pure mtb wheels and 700x38c tyres!

Autumn evenings on the Highveld not too shabby either [emoji41]

The kind of costs monthly quoted here would mean as a retired cyclist I'd have to give up the sport and take up Tiddlywinks!

He's a big real Afrikaans old toppie, the type of guy you can call at midnight! He just shook his head when I said I wanted to keep these small bits original ...

And you're entitled to that mate, life would be boring if we all just like the same thing [emoji106]

Finally got in that coffee ride My wife on my return 'did you enjoy the date ride on Bianca?' ... according to her the prettiest bike I've ever built/owned Bellissima!

Ready for a coffee ride tomorrow [emoji41] For the cycling 'nerds' some details ... SSG - Single Speed Gravel Frame - 2008 Bianchi Oetsi 26" MTB frame Fork - Mosso rigid Alu Shift levers - SRAM, the left shifter is US but the brake works Crank - Truvative Stylo, also around 2010 - the right pedal is stuck in but luckily it's in ok nick Drive train details - 42x22, to get that 'magic gear' to look good! Tyres - CST Traveller 700x38, non tubeless but running them tubeless ... Wheels - 29" MTB definitely not a 'set', front XT hub with some generic rim, rear a non series Shimano wheel Brake calipers - Tektro Novela mechanical A real mish mash ... [emoji41]
