Yes, but Craft Beer is a Crime. You should take that thing down instantly. ????

****, I don’t know what to say here. I’d love to make a donation, and have been doing so through backabuddy so far, but if they are charging you to access funds, then I am reluctant to do so further through them and it’s a pain for you if I send money from here to your sa bank account. I wonder if you would be kind enough to let me cover the cost of one of you to fly to the cape and back. If you would pm me details, I can either pay the airline directly via visa or can give you my card details to make the payment. Alternatively, if you’re happy to do the paperwork, I can transfer from here to you and cover the cost that way. My (unmet) friend. Every day I think of you so many times. I hug my wife and my children harder and count my blessings. Your journey and story have made me approach so much differently and, when I get stressed, I sometimes reflect on your story and have a word with myself. Thank you for sharing your journey. You are facing that thing we fear the most; with humour, with courage, with persistence, with a focus on your wife, and with a humility that is incredible. I don’t pretend to know how you’re feeling but hope that, if I ever get the news that you have got, I can face it with similar courage. You are an example to me and I thank you for that.

Probably a one way system with masks and social distancing

China - keep off the knees and use the energy to fight this thing. Everyone here is on your side and those of us who are able, are happy to help. The thing that has separated the hub from all of the other forums (at least for me) over the years, has been the community. We are all willing you / praying / hoping / believing that you will turn a corner soon and that we can celebrate your recovery as a community in the not to distant future.

Nice one - my last one was 2015 before we left in 2016. I arrive on the Friday from Ireland and will hopefully have 4 weeks of cycling in the legs after a 3.5 month hiatus. Going to also just take it slow and hope not to overheat. Super pleased that the finish isn’t in steyn city again. Counting the days of riding between now and then, but have a stag weekend in Dublin this weekend, so losing a couple of days already. Also now entered the Tour Durban the following Sunday, which should be a bit easier at lower altitude and with less hills.

Hell Man, your humour in this situation continues to inspire. Let us know how we can help

I'd be up for that if it's still a thing

Makes sense, but I'm not not 4x4's, so it seems pointless

Looking strong there boet

So sorry Cois. Hopefully the time in hospital will be the best thing to get you back on track.

Hi Francois, How's it going china?

????- the carcass of an old ewe. very strong taste, but really nice. With the stew, I put in a bit of smoked pork to balance the flavour, which worked pretty well. I’ll try the marinade and baste options this weekend. Thanks for the advice

Folks, just bought a very old sheep carcass (butchered). Have tried some chops (quite tough but super tasty) and made stew (awesome), but am keen to Braai the mutton in the best possible way. Any suggestions from experienced mutton Braai experts?

Stunning

I gave my three bike rack away when I got my new Trek and the advice was not to transport carbon bikes on this type of rack without a specific attachment .

Phone, iPad, Mac, airpods, watch. Happy to charge them all

So true - Big, reputable, manufacturers go to the ends of the earth to ensure that their chargers and batteries are safe. Just look at the reputation damage that Samsung suffered when a few of their batteries burst into flames.

It wasn't all rosy in the old days. I remember being stopped at roadblocks in the 80's and 90's, pissed as a cricket, and being sent on my way because I could talk the talk

Vok, so sorry to hear about the suffering lad.

I reckon that we all experience far more drivers behaving like idiots every single day, but for some reason only seem to focus on cyclists. Makes zero sense

Sterkte - Hope the Hiccoughs get better soon.

Hope all goes well with your appointment tomorrow lad and that treatment can start.

Not a lot to say man. Been off the hub for a while and decided last night to log on and visit this thread as you are in my thoughts a lot. Been thinking about you ever since. Stay as strong as you can. We are all humbled by your attitude these past few years and we continue to hope for, believe in and care about you.

100% - Ive hardly been on since the change for that reason
