Just wanted to share a good warm and fuzzy story from the hub and say thanks.

 

Yup there are the usual rants and raves about... well everything that usually descends into a discussion about cars vs riders, lycra baggies, road vs dirt, 26er vs 29ers or ganging up on 650b'ers.

 

I posted on a sponsors what-do-you-want-on-sale ad for gloves the other day and not much came back. Out of the blue I was contacted by a hubber who I've never talked to, never met but had deffo seen around, telling me about the DaKine sale at the Billabong factory store in Jozi... I'd seen it mentioned but much like the ASG sale, I'd love to have been throwing coin that way but I'm down here in the cape. end of story. Move on.

 

Boom, with out a hesitation the legend says no worries, he's popping over the and will grab as many pair as he can, what's my size?

 

True to his word I get a mail, with shots and which ones do I fancy as they are crazy prices. At that discount, I'm taking them all... If I don't use them granny can have an nice b/day present next month!

 

The price? What's on the labels my man and not a cent more.

 

I'll not mention who it is else you'll all be queuing up for a package in the mail! :)

 

Seriously though, I thought that was awesome. There are the big things that everyone gets behind (replacing stolen kit, anything to do with Wayne P, anything to do with FRAIL, trail building etc) but just someone doing what I'd do 100% for a mate out of the blue, without prompting, was pretty darn cool...

 

Cheers mate, goodonya. Anything I can do back just shout.
