    I know it sounds lame. Shingles. Pft. But it was so so painful. My skin is still sensitive in some areas.

    I did my first 10k yesterday since getting Shingles in October. We ran from HB to Noordhoek. I bribed my step daughter with a coffee and ice-cream to come pick us up. I felt pretty good. That road NEVER EVER get's old. I've ridden ridden in the Alps, Dolomites and on Mallorca so I can say with a fair amount of authority that it is a truly special piece of road.

    This reminds me of the day(s) I was running on chappies. Taking myself very seriously. 3k shoes coz I have an overpronation issue. GPS watch to measure all my metrics. Oakley sunnies to protect my eyes. And a dude comes rolling past in a pair of Converse All star. The Hightops.

    Yassas. First time on an MTB since October. The Glen is not a good place for a return!

    Yissie. Inside the reserve nogal. If you can't be chilled and happy in there then you have some serious issues.

    So.... I know I'm getting old so my eyes can't be trusted but did I see Kelly Slater riding a double wing swallow tail twin fin at Pipeline?

    The fenders don't even follow the same arc as the wheel. What an utterly KUK job!

    Tried some streetlight intervals this morning. Apart from needing to teach my bird the difference between a surge and a sprint it went well. Totally obliterated myself in 30 minutes and a new max HR value. * Edit. I'm finally feeling strong again after battling for a month with shingles. Really a kuk thing. It's caused by stress and having a compromised immune system. It feels like you are being burned by a cigarette constantly. Took an anti viral for a week and then had to just hang tough. I applied weed oil topically which helped a lot. The skin sensitivity is still there but the fatigue is gone.

    A few more snappies from SA's I think I'm gonna frame a few with my medal to show my grandkids. I don't have kids so grandkids seem unlikely but you never know.

    Was this Tuesday? All y-all came past me when I was "running" on Beach Road.

    Same wave.

    Pretty sure I'm just out of shot there.

    A fun weekend at SA's. Borrowed board for my final. Epoxy. Light AF. I had the highest single wave score of the final but I couldn't find a backup. Story of my life.

    Sadly cutting back some bushes isn't going to make the type of person who rolls through a stop street only to expect other road users to yield for them less of a jackass.

    Busy suffering with shingles. I haven't done any running or riding in 3 weeks. It's driving me mental. KKKKKKUUUKKKKK

    I know of a 2015 jeffsy that might be for sale soon.

    I'm 172 and I'm on a large with a shortish stem. It's probably a touch long for me but it feels great to me.

    That lion looks hungry. The little chicken wire fence would make me nervous.

    For sure. I once chatted to a Scottish guy on the lift and he reckoned he had bought a weekly all in package for 300 quid. That's ALL IN. Flights, accommodation, 2 meals, lift passes. For a week. The only thing he needed to spend money on in the PDS was beer. There's also at least 200 fast poms who spend the summer there making beds and scrubbing toilets and bumming lifts to the odd race in the hopes of making it.

    Ja tearoffs are a problem. Roll offs are great until the aren't. Sometimes a bit of water gets between the roll off and the goggle lens which REAAAALLLLYYY screws with your vision. Also you can have a situation where the roll off refuses to slide on the lens. They are not a perfect solution AT ALL! Tears offs come in laminated packs of 7 but guys like GM will probably have maybe 2 tearoffs that they'll know exactly where they will pull.
