and 'World Peace' ...

He started with the Freewheel Cycology team, but was dropped early on because of a puncture. They didn't get to make much use of the 'Italian Vespa'

This was the 1st DC I missed in 13 years. Bloody knee surgery Anyway, I was there as part of team support, so could still participate (sort of). Hobbling around the start area and feed zones was frustrating with waves of FOMO washing over me, but I was still glad to be there. Well done to all that rode

seems simple enough

Goliath and Sneaky Pete were good!

FUGLY watch!

Correct! MCL and PCL are torn off. Surgery on Monday No bending of that knee = no driving for 6 weeks (thanks leg brace ) Then goodness knows what kind of rehab for more weeks after that

My new friend for the next 6 to 8 weeks

And then Tokai is where my awesome ride ended. I sampled the newly renovated lizard trail and and lost my back wheel as I popped out onto the road - unclip left foot that digs in and down I go with my knee twisting under me. I think I gave the other two riders a bit of a fright. They untangled me, and got my bike out the way and offered all kinds of help. I think I was able to grunt a 'Thanks' at them before I said that I would be OK and roll back to the car park. Very little to show for that spill, expect that my lower leg feels loose below my knee. Not sore, but very unstable

Riding Solo means that there is lots more time to take pictures

Road ride was aborted (riding buddies didn't pitch and Di2 wouldn't change gears ), so switched to MTB and did the Kirstenbosch Trail and Greenbelts to Tokai. Cape Town was showing off a bit

It doesn't seem to be a continuous roll over. I achieved my 3 in a row, but the reward isn't available yet. (team rewards end this week, I think) Or maybe I am doff and don't understand this new system

Saw this on Twitter the other day

Finished watching 'The Son' last night. Western themed series with Pierce Brosnan. A bit slow to start with, but gathered momentum as it went along

From what I can understand from the interwebs, the Direct Mount was a 'once off' for the anniversary model, then some of the UAE and Pro teams had it. Now I see its an option on the 2018 model https://www.bellatisport.com/shop/product/2322/Colnago_C60.html

Not sure if I am more impressed with the pilot for holding that together or with the tyres for not bursting

Now I am all confused

Doh! #Facepalm! You are right for those cassettes, but there is also an 11spd 11-50 option https://www.evobikes.co.za/sunrace-mx80-11-speed-cassette-11-50-11spd-black.html

Does one need to modify the rear mech at all? Goat link or RAD SHARK cage or longer limiting bolts ? I imagine that my Shimano GS won't be compatible...

Will there be a replacement?
