I used to have Nespresso but switched to grinding my own coffee. I use a Hario Slim Ceramic Grinder and brew the coffee in a Bialetti stovetop moka pot. My wifes cousin owns a coffee distributor called Social Coffee where we get our coffee from. I love coffee machines but have found that the Moka pot makes the best coffee.

Whatever you do, don't put lights on your helmet. Don't be like those other poepstreepe that look at you as they pass by and blind you in the process. Just get a 600 lumen front light. You really don't need more than that unless you are smashing through some singletrack without moonlight!

An oldie but still good!

They will good on many rides. That's the beauty of leather shoes!

New kicks for spring!

This is still one of the coolest songs from high school days!

Some winter cycling out in the country. It was a lovely 1C today.

Any pic from sunny Cape Town makes me want to ride. I left RSA in 2017 and have had the privilege of cycling in many other countries. Yet nothing beats rolling down chappies towards Noordhoek on Saturday morning for coffee!

I love that the winning bike for 2019 was a Hardtail! A HARDTAIL YOU SOFT SPINED SISSIES!!!

Out of the TV room into the winter pain cave!

I just did, second time was still a charm. Just finished WW2 in color. Busy watching Flea Bag. Waiting for Stranger Things S4 to drop.

Some goodies for when spring arrives. Lazer Z1 helmet tested already. I was sceptical about moving from Kask to Lazer, but I'm loving the new lid!
