Done Cois It cannot be stated enough what an inspiring person you are

5 of the 7 passes - blue blue sky and green green greenery The garden route municipality busy making the gravel so smooth a roadbike would be fine

The weak point in my gravel game, I can’t grow a manly beard or a flared tache but I have loads of bags I can mount and brown bar tape so no one notices my pubescent facial hair

I’m a tough as nails gravel biker - top tube against the pole one day, pedals at the wrong angle the next day I don’t care about these things and focus on the important stuff like does my flannel match my socks and where do I get my flat white en route

This day last week I was trying to remember how to use a 3 x 9 Today back on 1 x AXS, riding without so much as a thought of chain drop

This was my exact experience - I took my friends wife on a tandem while he took his daughter - my experience was similar to yours except I saw a fantastic array of steel classical mostly from SA - we stopped for coffee, brunch and a beer and the goodwill and gratitude for being able to do this event was evident

I have a Thule rack (and panniers and other bits) you are welcome to - will WhatsApp you when I can find pics - was given to me so happy to pay it forward

gate of a thousand hills - somewhere along the 7 passes

I went right past them

Oudtshoorn towards cango caves past Koos somebody dam to a massive waterfall and then towards de rust and back to oudtshoorn - had no idea it was so pretty

Snow capped swartberg mountains yesterday

Looks like Rafa nadal has transitioned and got 3rd in ladies bike race - well done to her

Glad you’re ok - hope you follow up and make and example of this box

I can’t go through it again - mute button activated

I thought McNulty made a good go of it. I really wanted him to medal because it’s good for cycling but also because I love it when domestiques shine PS pogacar for green next year

Carapaz rode a blinder but I think had Wout not been in the group behind, they would have done a better job - I mean they had him down to 14 seconds but no one wanted to work with Wout silly really because instead of fighting for 2 medals, the group were fighting for bronze I feel a bit for Wout as he is so marked - but I’m not crying for him, he seems to be doing ok with the cycling thing

Snow capped mountains here - chilly but at least dry

Taja can sprint Cav is lucky he didn’t go for green apparently the gold medalist won a stage in the giro he won the giro ffs This was a really good race but my ears are hurting. Going for a ride to try an unhear this

Tour de France winners name keeps changing tada tajed taga ffs

Loved those but that was comedy this is horrible and their knowledge of the riders is woeful. Some of the effluent coming out of his mouth… if you’re paid to do commentary at least learn the name of the riders and the route

While I think that wave pool surfing has become predictable I’d have to agree with you - surfing relies too much on external factors like luck and it’s seldom an even playing field, especially in Japan. Not very Olympic in spirit whilst Japan has had waves pools longer than most, none are world class to my knowledge

Absolutely brilliant @PatcheliciousI will make my donation tomorrow to local George SPCA and Odin (another local cat and dog oganisation) In retrospect I should have made you eat them in short socks on your bike with a saddle bag and Fanny pack

Early 90s mtb - 2020 gravel bike not the same thing, very distant cousins evolution is a real thing

As a gravel bike doofus, I like this and I even think it looks nice but style is subjective the whole point is to enable those with hard tails to do a quick bar change for touring which would make your ride more comfortable for relatively little money and little hassle you get more options with one bike pretty inventive
