Cutting it close this year.... Will do an easy ride on the last day of the year to make sure we stay on Diamond.

Just one goal for me: Riding more with my family. FINALLY my boys are at a age where they can ride a reasonable distance without whining about going uphill, heat, being thirsty or that the other one is in front again. They are both scheming where we are going to ride/race next. My wife is a Zwift queen packing in 4 rides a week and FINALLY I'm getting her to join me on longish weekend rides - OUTSIDE. She is also keen on doing 947 in 2022 so we have a nice training goal (her power-to-weight ratio is starting to scare me a bit and I'm probably going to be chicked on the hills one of these days). I've been riding actively since 1999 and done 1000's of km's, countless races and multiple stage races - NOW I am looking forward to doing much more of those things with the people most important to me.

Thanks bud!

We're off to the Vaal Dam for a family weekend in a few weeks time and I thought of riding from home to the Vaal. Dam, that is. Checking on Google Maps, it's a 130km ride when selecting the "walk/hike" option. Getting out of Jhb will be busy as it starts off on Jan Smuts, but I think it will get better (less busy) when I get to Kliprivier in the souf... Will be doing this on a gravel bike so hoping there are some dirt roads along the way (?) https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Zoo+Lake,+Parkview,+Randburg/-26.9088938,28.1919975/@-26.7975517,28.0961732,63858m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m9!4m8!1m5!1m1!1s0x1e950c878c1ac687:0xe69330146226fd9d!2m2!1d28.0284892!2d-26.1581653!1m0!3e2 Anyone have some routes to share/suggestions? Appreciate any feedback and tips!

I still get boggeroll... Will whuuuuusah for a bit and try later.

Not sure if I am being dof or if there is something wrong with efiling page, but I cannot find my 2021 ITR12... I can see all prior years but not 2021 (?)

I used these guys two years ago while in France and rented a bike for a week. Best... decision... ever... https://bcyclet.com/ Very professional and easy to use.

So nice you had to post it twice

Well, it did go out 30 minutes late and back on time, so we scored a little. And we're now reduced to 2h30 sheds; no 4h30 jobbies anymore. Assuming you're in 2A of course...?

Because I ate two. How many did you ate?

The attempt at a joke?

Easy. When you have NX and want GX, anything can "happen"........

Spiekeries!

What's that PLUS goetertjie on your profile?

Entrance is on the main road between Kleinmond and Betty's - permit is R50 these days. Easy ride; 11km in and the same 11km out

Betty's bay to Kogelberg and back a few days ago. Northwester was blowing crazy but nice and still inside the mountains.

Lekker! Just couldn't stay inside yet again this morning so took my dikwiel out on the tar in the rain. Only saw two others braving the rain on two wheels as well - some things in common with them: wet, cold and grinning from ear-to-ear. Dopamine levels restored.

Or if you like smooth PB, then the Woolies salt&sugar free is also great. Also yellow labelled like Black Cat - wonder where Woolies got that idea from...
