Just a heads up but as far as I'm aware there is no water available at the moment ....

Easy recovery ride after yesterday's shenanigans at the Fast One ... getting rid of any 'lactic acid' if there is any [emoji12] Probably didn't make any friends yesterday but I don't like giving free rides #LoneRanger

Interesting my brother and I had a similar discussion recently ... Obviously unless there were a great difference in weight in most cases once a bike is rolling it's quite difficult to feel the difference in a light or heavy bike, for the average rider, in our opinion of course. I'm sure the 'pro hubbers' will differ and be able to feel a difference of even <100g's [emoji12]

I have been known to ride from home to Vaal Marina every now and then with my gravel bike [emoji6]

Looks pretty good to me ... I've come to the realization that gravel bikes are just that, intended to ride reasonably good gravel roads and jeep track. It's not a mountain bike even though yes I know it can go anywhere! Sadly as far as I'm aware there are no 9sp clutch derailleurs so you may be stuck with the chain slap ... I have just got used to it I guess

366 days this year ????

Something different today ... 'buurtwag' as my mate calls these town rides [emoji41] Happy new year y'all!

Ai ai ai [emoji19]

I'll buy some batteries soon and report back ....

Y'all will have to up your game my friends! Found these while cleaning up some stuff my Dad left me many years ago .... Knowing my Dad I have little doubt that they are just reproductions/fakes but perhaps I'll just wear then out now and then, no one will be any the wiser will they?

I would guess close to 15000 of mine were all solo if not more and for sure my last 713 in 8 days were solo! I like it that way ????

Yes I have .... *Whispers* with a compact crank though ????

Amen brother, I have also come to realise that vert stats make more difference to me ????

That climbing in that distance [emoji44] nice!

Enjoyed that but my legs are toast this morning! Chuffed with doing the 500 in 5 days [emoji41]

That'll burn a few pies, did earn me quite a few serious cappuccinos at M&B!

That's some serious climbing! Nice

Seriously? Getting a bit juvenile, time to let it go kids!

Thanks for always giving a heads up for these! Really enjoying the racing ... Pity Sanne just 'cannt' this year ????

Good job big guy!

I notice it's becoming more a challenge of how quickly one can do 500 for many and I suppose consequently how many more than the required one can do ... As long as it keeps people riding it's all good!

Giving it a go, managed 670 last year but just doing 500 this time may be a tough ask but we'll see

Good advice from the big guy, often overlooked!
