They came past in a flash!!! But wow, to see all the logistics and cars and people. Unbelievable, I can only imagine what a Grand Tour must be like. There must have been over 100 cars and bikes around the race. Crazy and cool !!

Great plan!! My boys have. And I’ll slap on the bokke jersey too!!

Warm up ride in my backyard. They come past my house tomorrow during Stage 1. Can’t wait!!

He’s not allowed on the couch. My two teenage boys make it their mission to send me a WhatsApp pic every time he defies me!! Let’s just say I might have to buy more cloud storage soon!! He’s an old fella now, been beat buds with my eldest son since a baby. They’ve grown up and old together. Pure magic.

Hope it’s better than Tofu Tuesday!!

Having being out the country now for just over a year I had forgotten a lot of the small nuances and challenges that loadshedding brings. Having a mate from Cape Town spend the weekend with me and talking about it made me sad.

It was ALL about the patient #not Don’t get me wrong!! I’m very happy they did some good work.

I’m a huge fan of TR. Always adding new features. Season planning is awesome and you can change from indoor/outdoor workouts as you please. I’ve got a few 1 month free referrals if anyone wants to give it a try. They don’t have a trail program so it’s difficult to “test” them otherwise. Just drop me a PM, will need Name, Surname and email address. They will then send you a link.

I’ve watched a lot of her fights. I’m not about to call her out on anything!

I just have to give a huge shoutout to the Apple AirPod Pro’s. I got a pair in December and have not used any other earphone since! Battery life, sound quality, ease of use and the Noise Cancelling is amazing. Using the Transparency mode when in a public place is unbelievable!! My go to cans were my Bose QC35’s. Now they are used only on long haul flights as I like and am used to sleeping with them on and for the odd occasion paired to my Apple TV when watching a movie at 2am. The Airpod Pro’s on the smart trainer are just brilliant. No drivetrain noise and no fan/Aircon noise at all. Plus they don’t make your head all hot and handle the sweat perfectly. I do believe Apple have hit the jackpot here, well for me at least.

Frustrating for sure. However I’m not sure you can get a Visa without flights booked. Think it’s a requirement in the Visa application. Also, for future, when booking tickets check which class of economy. It’s those cheap and nasty ones that don’t allow changes. Sometimes for a few bob more you can book a better economy class ticket that will allow changes for free or minimal fee. Anyways, hope this story has a happy ending for you and the folks. Cheers.

That’s a beauty! Agree belly pan should go, pipe has some beautiful colors in it. It’s a shame. Oh, and the Ohlins suspension, too much of love!!

If it had a Cosworth motor then that’s a story worth telling!!

You mean conceived? “Don’t come a knocking when the van is a rocking”

Same but different issue here in Dubai for me. I’ve got to drive an hour to get to Hatta if I want to have a good MTB. There’s about 160km of dedicated road cycling track close to me but I’m not a roadie fan to be honest. Totally miss my riding in the Cradle and all the MTB tracks back in SA. Miss my cycling mates too.

I get your point but.....coming from someone that has done both disciplines for a long time....The CRF you will ride once a week, then twice a month, then once a month, then dust..... An eBike you will ride multiple times a week and continue to do so. And, if you think we are pressed for good and variety MTB trails, wait until you try find motorbike trails that are close to home and safe to ride. Most people can’t ride a CRF from their doorstep. Bottom line, you will have more hours of enjoyment on the S-Works.

We do. Until we don’t. Then, who knows...

I had my batteries disconnected about 10 years ago... Not brave enough to do it in the chair, I insisted to be sleepy sleepy while some dude and a few nurses handled my delicate bits.

Why not? I’ve seen the guys in Makro and Sportsman’s warehouse using ParkTool. I noticed because they were not being used for their intended purpose mostly.

Desert Exploring... Must be honest, it’s beautiful but being solo out there is “uncomfortable” when you not sure where the tracks go. Always a little cautious.

Yeah. They the new Fraser bars from Scott. Integrated stem and bar. Mine are nowhere near same negative rise like he and Kate use. Mine are zero degrees and virtual stem length of 80mm. Feel good. Some long hours in the saddle and some varied terrain will tell me more. Just so weird to see your front hub though while riding. I was schooled in the “if you can’t see the front hub your setup is good” school.

Only vegan news I read today was about that Duratrainer or whatever his name is youtuber got beaten up today outside a banana store or something like that. Think he calls himself the vegan cyclist.
