Nice one! I haven't done it in ages, thoroughly enjoyed.

Nice early ride to Melkbosstrand. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bb1HYSgBvkE/ There seems to be good progress on the cycle lane extension from Big Bay to Melkbosstrand. I can't imagine it'll be too long until they can start tarring the surface.

I wish! Only managed an hour before this thing called work got in the way.

Agreed, 100%. I also do the N1 section to avoid the cycle route through Paarden Eiland into town when cycling from Milnerton.

Woodbridge Island (the old wooden bridge).

The madness continues.

Weather (wind) looks good in Cape Town for the marathon on Sunday. Second year in a row for me.

Entered.

Coincidence? Kidding.

Wind forecast? Too soon.

I don't mind it, just a bit time consuming after a long ride! As for my kit, bad idea to wear a jersey with a white back...

It rained during most of my ride on Saturday morning (Chapman's Peak Drive was like a water slide). Nevertheless, it was a great ride! https://www.instagram.com/p/BXsNmiZBAmY/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BXsNcpYBiZe/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BXsOyZYBp6h/ Took just about as long as my ride was to clean it afterwards.

Took a spin from Milnerton out to Llandudno and back yesterday. Bit windy, but the views always make up for it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXKuc3oB55q/

That's good to know! I spent ages deciding on a wheelset, as there are so many to choose from each with their own pros and cons. So far, so good.

Fulcrum Racing 5 LG wheelset + Continental GP 4000S II 25mm tyres. https://www.instagram.com/p/BVUPSF-BRwE/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BVUPd-EBY9o/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BVUWqhQhJ6e/ I replaced the stock Shimano RS10's, so the jump up is pretty significant and in all fairness, those rims served me well (over 7,500 km). And I was using 23mm Gatorskins (wire bead). Nevertheless, these wider tyres roll amazingly and feel so smooth (probably the new hubs/bearings) and are so much more comfortable (~90psi vs ~110psi). Stoked! Ordered from CRC, took less than 15 working days (free shipping).

That's a huge disappointment.
