  1. I snapped an achilles playing squash. All sorts of complications after op with nerves being cut accidentally etc etc. Now fat and lazy ...
  2. I see my sentiment has already been expressed almost verbatim. I cant find a way to delete a post though?
  3. As Dean hinted at ... a hot exhaust whilst your bike is on a rack will inflict similar damage
  4. Awesome downhill footage and depeche mode as a bonus
  5. If anybody has an entry up for grabs, please let me know. Thanks.
  6. I think for us migraine sufferers there is not much you can do. Mine seems related to exertion level. When I played squash I was almost guaranteed a good headache and vision problems after an intensive game. On the bike I can do a DC with no issues, But a couple of maximum exertion efforts in even a short race and its headache time. The next two or three days the head will feel bruised and uncomfortable. I only get these headaches from cycling.
  7. Lots of riding in the area. Head out north of town and then east over Dasklip pass (big climb ~500m vertical ascent). You could then head over the back down to Beaverlak and some of the trails down to the Olifants river, or stay up on the mountain and head south into the Groot Winterhoek reserve. In short lots of riding, but I don't know the best routes.
  8. There is somebody on the roof of that truck as well!
  9. Here is some amazing time lapse footage of the lenticular clouds forming over Table Mountain https://www.facebook.com/simon.bloomer.92/videos/10154408455594768/
  10. They are lenticulars, but even so they are quite special and not the normal wave cloud one sees downwind of table mountain on strong NW wind days. On this day we had unusual conditions with a SE pushing up and over the mountain from the south and a moderate to strong NW on the Northern side. The turbulence in the shear layer between the two layers must have been quite interesting and that with a very high moisture content of the air resulted in these beautiful clouds. Off course, it could just be the most obvious answer, which is aliens....
  11. Two bad accidents in DE on the Malmesbury road. One of my mates is in hospital with a broken collarbone and possible neck and back injuries from the first one. I am not sure if there were other injuries. I came off, but was unscathed as I managed to stay on my feet after dumping the bike. We formed a small chasing group and unfortunately about 2km later the front two riders touched wheels and came down hard at 50km/h. I managed to go off-road without falling, but after recovering turned back when I realised the guys were badly hurt. A fractured elbow for Luca Stermin and more serious injuries for the other. Definite broken collarbone (Bones did not break skin, but very obvious). Worried that he has broken ribs and possible pelvis problems. Hope they all heal up quickly.
  12. Booby trapped bike left lying around in the hood https://www.facebook.com/brbcomedy/videos/965373653519308/
