OR You do it on your MTB;With Nobbly Nics on;built as a SS;With a silly ratio so you have to work to get on top of the gear up every hill;Ride the 36km to the start;Hang around until 10h00 so you can ride in the heat of the day;Realize you only have 1 bottle;Stop and have a Tequila. Have one more. And another one;Politely ask the tannie I am passing up the last hill to hold her line;Get told to **** off;Finish the race;Grab a cold coke;Cycle the 36km home;Arrive home at 16h00;Have a shower, beer and take my dog for a walk.Followed by a GINORMOUS steak and chipsFixed it for you....
Wyatt Earp Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Im not a happy camper at the mo.But lets put it in another way. Its another story for the old age home stoep.IT took guts to finish the way you did .
eddy Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Fixed it for you.... Yo, that steak certainly hit the spot square on. Bullseye! And I took some expert medical advice and left the chips and had a second beer instead.......

Eldron Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Lekker spending a small amount of time with you guys on the road! What was the Rouxster doing to his bike? It was upside down... Surely he wasn't fixing it - I mean fixing a SSer means lubing the chain

Surely he wasn't fixing it - I mean fixing a SSer means lubing the chain Meneer as much as I love my bike, it was a dogshow yesterday. Long story short, I butchered a chainring from a 3x9 set with ramps, and then grinded and filed some bolts down to make it work on the saturday, lets just say it sounded like riding with a symphony. Good seeing you on route

Good seeing you on route Ladies and gentelman - buy this man a bells. This is how SSers made - with old spoons, bodging, filing and boer maak n plan gees. It's kinda like owning an Alfa!
igknot Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 It's kinda like owning an Alfa!The difference between an Alfa and a SS is that you can ride the SS every day.

Edition 507 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Sorry guys i never made it to the second lap.I had a fall in ghandi square that was caused by a local crossing the road. I managed to miss him but then couldnt keep the bike up right.That was it i went down and hard.My handlebar snapped in half and i am bruised all over.I finished the ride with my half a bar and only front brakes and shifters as i wasnt gonna sit around town and wait for the sweepers.Next time guys i will be in the booze cruizeRespect! I think you can now upgrade to a slightly tougher looking avatar

Edition 507 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 HK4.jpg The last one is cool. Tough but not too tough, the pink hand grenade and feather duster keeping just enough of the soft feminine touch.
eddy Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 It's kinda like owning an Alfa!I just missed out on the launch edition but I have my order in.....
