    Not been commuting this week. Got a bit of a flu at the moment and we have finally had some good rain this week in Polokwane. Very happy about the rain, desperately needed.

    Been down with the flu over the weekend. Hopefully I will be back in the saddle tomorrow.

    Need to push this month. Aiming for 7000km by year end. Only issue is the first week of December I am on leave. No commuting during that time. Will see how it ends. 6,7 and 8 are all still close and a couple of rides can make a big difference. Enjoy the day!

    Well done!

    I think you climb a fair bit more than me. Never checked my altitude but think it is around 250m to 300m per day. Generally according to strava I do between 6500m and 8000m per month.

    Yup, the three of us are very close. Been close for the last week. Next week I may drop down again. Need an easy week, body tired and have been very busy at work. Have a great weekend!

    Aim is to reach 7000km by year end. You top 3 are already there. Not sure how you do it? Had a big week last week with about 220km and I am feeling it this week. Wish we could get some rain in Polokwane. Very dry here. Enjoy

    Trampolines can be bad. My little one broke her arm on one when se fell wrong. Also did not ride yesterday. Kinda glad. Wind was rather bad!

    This morning was a bit damp in Polokwane, but overall not to bad. This afternoon however was cold and windy. Almost felt like phoning my wife to come and pick me up.

    Glad, can so easily end up worse. Heal up well!

    No commute today. Will ride tomorrow and then Friday rest. Working half day. Got the Akkedis XCM 70km race on Saturday. Going to be a hard one, fitness not where it should be.

    Also took the car today and had a lift home yesterday evening. Wife was in town and when she phoned to check if I wanted a lift I happily agreed! Was running late at work so thats my excuse! Haha, will just call it being lazy!

    Time to go 1x?
  14. wildwindfr
    Difficult one as each persons needs vary. I use a Cyclocross/gravel bike that I built up from used parts sourced from the hub. Maintenance is almost nothing compared to my MT bike. Glad you riding again after the accident.
  15. wildwindfr
    Nice. Always good when you get back on the bike. Hit the 3000km mark this week. Whoop whoop!!!
  16. wildwindfr
    Nice article! Had a slow ride hone today. Broke a spoke on my rear wheel today. My MT bike will get some work tomorrow!
  17. wildwindfr
    Awesome miles done. Could have been up by another 700km if I wasnt sick twice this year. Hoping to stay healthy the rest of the year. The last 2 weeks were good riding I am feeling strong again. Took almost a month to get back in the groove! Hopefully I will get to 3000km this week.

    Glad you ok. Always try and lookout for other vehicles. Drivers seem to lose the little brains they have, add some rain or cellphone, and it can becomes chaos very fast. As said above, post what size wheel you have and I am sure someone may be able to help!

    Also been the coldest day for me in Polokwane. Commuted today as I am taking the car tomorrow. Commute was cold but not that bad. However, the wind was blowing straight into work. I work at a tyre shop so everything is open. Only warm now that I am lying in bed with a hot water bottle! Stay warm all

    Titan seems to be doing a lot right at the moment!
  21. wildwindfr
    Nice. That is alot of fuel saved!!! Haha

    Daai lyk soos die pad na my huis. Sit nog net n paar sandkolle by!
  23. wildwindfr
    I like!
  24. wildwindfr
    Really wish my finances would allow it. Unfortunately my bantam decided to give problems and my son is costing a small fortune at the moment. No way I could swing it unless I sell some body parts! May not be a bad idea, haha!!!

    Managed 1 short commute to pick up my car from the wife for some errands. At least the week was not a complete write off. Congrats to those over 3000km. Takes some serious commitment!
