    When you leave home a bit late, you really put the hammer down. Did my 16km commute in 34 minutes this morning. Managed to somehow get all the robots green, witch is a miracle, was an awesome ride in.

    Keep eyes open for the double cab brigade. Especially Ford rangers and Hilux bakkies. Almost got taken out twice today on a straight gravel road wide enough to fit 3 cars side by side. I was riding on the side and still had to go into the bush on the side. One Ranger must have been doing close to 130km as it came past me. I have both a flashing red rear light and a front light. Makes a person wonder.

    Did the Magoebaskloof MTB Classic yesterday. Was very very wet and muddy. Took me over 5hours to finish the Marathon with 3 falls. Made a very stupid error that I only realised more than halfway into the race. I had my fork locked out from my commutte on Thurday and never unlocked it. Silly me!!! Still came second in the sub vet cat and 10 overall. Super stoked! Also managed to get my Limpopo colours. Overall an awesome day!

    Did my longest ride to date today. Some gravel grinding around Polokwane on the Bergnek and Geyser roads. In total did around 110km.

    1.76m On a Momsen Large.I am also on that awkward height between M and L frames. I find I most often prefer a large. My commuter, Fuji CX frame is a 58cm but it is ever so slightly to big.

    Been of the bike for a week now. Upper respiratory infection. First sickness this year. Also started using echinaforce a few months back. Seems to help as I would normally be the first one to get sick in the family. I also appear to have gotten better faster as it is normally 2 weeks min. Will hopefully be back on the bike tomorrow for a easy commute. Hope all get better soon!

    Love this thread. Some very nice bikes! Busy getting my Fuji CX frame built. If all goes well should be done by next weekend! Heres to holding thumps!

    @Dusty. Was that pic in Zululand taken between Melmoth and Vryheid? My sister stays in Melmoth! Looks very familiar!

    Finally getting a gravel frame. Thanks Peds, taking his Fuji frame off his hands. It May be another month or 2 until it is ready to roll as I must still source some wheels and shifters. Budget spent for this month.

    Will keep an eye on those frames! Need to build a gravel bike at some point!

    @Peds. I was looking at your bike today. Just don't have the cash now as we bought 2 kayaks for the family. As mentioned Farr concepts has a steel frame. Very tempting. There was a Cotic Escapade frame for sale last month, I took to long to decide and missed that one. Really need to get me a gravel bike!

    Not cycling, still stoked. Will be trying them tomorrow.

    If that Kaffenback was a large?

    That is how I see it! I do enjoy long rides on the farm roads around here. Will very seldom only ride tar unless it is a race. Some of the blokes from my club want me to join them at the Kremetart, don't think I want to do that on the MTB bike!

    Awesome ride! Love the colour. Currently have my eye on a escapade frame! Want it as my commuter and my road bike! Due to where I live a normal road bike would be a waste. I have a minimum of 8km to get to the nearest tarred road! Enjoy she is a gorgeous!

    Only 1 week to go. This is the first race of the Limpopo colours qualifying events. Hope to see other hubbers there.

    Had a slight cold yesterday and today. Stayed of the bike. Just took my daughter for a walk. Started using Cancerbush tea at night. It is as bitter as hell but I mix it with rooibos tea. Makes it semi drinkable. Always use to go directly to my chest. Seems to be working as I already feel better tonight.
  19. wildwindfr
    Will be there!

    Left the bike at home today. Had a serious headwind going back home yesterday. Took me almost an hour to get home were a normal day would be about 45min. Need some rain here in Polokwane!
  21. wildwindfr
    @ DJR Really enjoyed that! Cool posts!!!

    Started 2018 the right way with a 50km ride this afternoon.
  23. wildwindfr
    I need to make a plan this year to ride in the Soutpansberg. I am in Polokwane, so it really is not that far. Happy mew year all!!!

    Last ride of 2017. Went for coffee at my Dad. Wind was blowing but was a cool ride! Got back as the sun was setting.

    Did a long ride by myself today. Happy with the way I felt. This is my longest single ride to date and my 3rd over 100km. Did not take may pics. Was focused on the ride!
