Kevins eulogy was very touching, fitting that his dogs were there as well, first time I've met them and they really are gorgeous and friendly as Barry described.

Struggle accounting at play, cant tell an expense from an income.

100's you right mine was more a cold than flu, looks like a dodged that bullet for a while.

Nuff said

Have another ride scheduled early morning but should be back for the 9.30 start.

Cape Town – South Africa's first doctorate for studies in biltong goes to Maxine Jones, who likes hers "moist and fatty". "Biltong isn't such a simple matter as we may think – there's science behind it," Jones told News24. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/matie-earns-doctorate-for-biltong-study-20170314

Ditto for me.

Hopefully over flu, will test legs on bike later to catch up on Emperors training.

Already booked for the Midvaal MTB race on 26th.

As will I.

http://www.iol.co.za/sport/cycling/winds-of-change-for-cape-town-cycle-tour-8171174 CAPE TOWN - Moving the starting line of the Cape Town Cycle Tour is one of the issues on the agenda this week when the event’s board of trustees gather to discuss the gale force conditions which contributed to organisers canning the annual event. The possibility of changing the date of the Cycle Tour would also be up for discussion. In what was a Cycle Tour first on Sunday, event organisers were forced to put the brakes on the colossal tournament, in its 40th year, minutes before a sea of 35 000 cyclists were set to take to the cordoned-off streets of the Cape Peninsula.

The race did actually get under way but was then called off, or do you believe this was just a publicity stunt to cover up the fact they never intended it to take place anyway.

Now if it was held in Gauteng today

Rode it in 2009 and if the conditions were the similar i would be peeved if they called it off but that was as bad as I was prepared to ride in. If it was worse then right call was made.

Ag no. just got in and this was the first thread i opened, almost wished i had not. Your Hub presence and contribution will be missed as will smiling face and chuckle whenever we bumped into each other. RIP Barry aka Holy Roller aka Tumbleweed, condolences to your mom, Kevin and the boys.

Was a time when it used to be televised. Glad to see Johhny Koen involved, that man knows his stuff.

There was another time at one of the 24 hours held at NF where his handlebars came loose after he forgot tighten it. He went one way still holding his bars, the rest his bike the other way.

Dodgy internet connection past few days so only caught up to date now. Keep fighting Barry.

Lions take it 55-36 and bonus point.
