    I managed an unexpected commute today. My car is still not sorted and wife is using other car. Had to go and take some photos of an old project that I did about 2 years back. The project managers managed to lose it and my drive with them on got stolen. Managed to turn it into a longer ride and got around 55km in. Better than not logging anything for the week!!!

    No commuting this week again as I am off for the week. Things that needs to get done around the house. Have alreydy misses around a month worth of riding this year. Just cannot seem to get going properly this year.

    This bug does seem to be serious this year. It just doesnt seem to leave a person completely. As said above the postnasal seem to stay with a person.

    To work and later back home. Was a very misty morning, was soaked when I got to work. The afternoon trip was tough. Body tired and still not 100% after the flu,and had a headwind all the way from town. Some pics from this morning

    Finally commuted yesterday and thus morning. Left bike at work tonight and will ride home tomorrow night. Felt good to be on the bike. Yesterday evening must have been my slowest ride in about 2years. Just glad to be riding again!

    You bunch down in Cape Town are a lot harder than me. I would bale and call the wife!!!

    Yup, still the sniffles, though I suspect it was more than just flu. Started feeling better yesterday so will see how it goes. I am in Polokwane, mornings are fine, but evening not so cool. I have 8km gravel, generally ok, except when a Polokwane bricks truck comes racing past. With all the dust it can take up to 5min to see anything depending on the wind.

    Still of the bike but hoping to start riding by Thursday at the latest. Really missing the rides. Winter is here and I may need to look at getting a better light as it will be completely dark by the time I get home. Enjoy and safe riding!

    Hoping to commute again on Monday after the flu. 2 weeks of no riding, feeling it!
  10. wildwindfr
    Yup, flu needs rest, the thing I didn't do. Now it has taken me about 2 weeks instead of the 3-5 days as it should have. Lesson, listen to your body, not your work schedule!!!

    Good luck to you all. You seem to have it a lot worse than me. Started feeling semi human again today. Will still give it the rest of the week to recover. One of my biggest weakness is not waiting to recover correctly and then taking longer to heal.
  12. wildwindfr
    Yup, seems like it will be another week before I am back on the bike.

    This time of year. Been off the bike for the whole week. Got the flu, wife had bronchitus(spelling). Very frustrating as I was just getting back to fitness. Reboot and start again next week hopefully!
  14. wildwindfr
    Had the flu this week. Not a single commute. Last week was great, this week complete opposite. At least started feeling better today. Life always up and down, gotta roll with it!!!

    My legs are feeling pretty beat up tonight. 5 Days commuting with tomorrow to come. My brother is using my vehicle so there is no bailing out.

    Slowly catching up again after the holiday and the flu. Must say this getting home after dark is not doing it for me. Can also only do the short route home due to safety. I dont trust the way people drive around here after dark.
  17. wildwindfr
    Nice. Will be following!

    Winter is here. Got home just after six the last 2 nights and it was basically complety dark. Good thing we have lights.
  19. wildwindfr
    Makes me glad to be commuting where I am. That is more incidents than I have in a month. Stay safe!
  20. wildwindfr
    Need to start riding properly again. 1 week on holiday, no riding. 1 week sick, no riding. 3 days riding then weather and transporting kids around. Finally had another commute today.
  21. wildwindfr
    Nice. Will follow it!
  22. wildwindfr
    No ride at all last week and I have the Flu since Saturday. It seems to be heading towards 2 weeks off the bike. Life always comes up with a curveball.
  23. wildwindfr
    Need to do some miles. On leave next week. No space to take bike with so no riding at all for 7 days. Wish I could take my bike with. Some wonderfull forestry roads around Melmoth Natal to ride. Will need to make a plan to get the bike down there.
  24. wildwindfr
    Going to be a slow week. Took the car yesterday as I needed to replace the battery. Commuting today, tomorrow I need to take the other car to have new tyres fitted and need to collect my race number for Saturdays Munnik Meerkat XCM. Hopefully will commute on Thursday and then car again on Friday. Still better than no commute!

    Cable discs should be good enough as a gravel bike. I was also sceptical coming from mtb. I have mechanical on my commuter. It is a Fuji cx frame bought from Pikey here on the hub. Had very little cash to build the bike up but been commuting on it for almost a year now. Just did 50km on it today between morning and evening commute. If I had the money I would look at it. Other options may be the Momsen gravel range or a Farr steel frame built up. Whatever you choose, enjoy!
