Well done to all the folks who seem to have been sticking to the correct line on the byron line

Unless a thread is a scam or a completely offensive message I don't understand why it should ever be locked. Rather moderate the people who are choosing to go beyond the spirit of healthy debate and remove their content from the discussion.

 

Locking threads only brings all form of conversation about that topic to a grinding halt. Clearly the topic meant enough to someone to post it in the first place....

I am on leave at present and we're only going away next week so perhaps I am bored. So what plenty of good comes out of boredom. I probably wouldn't have even entered my industry if I hadn't suffered from chronic boredome at school. Some of the best and most profound conversations and moments of my life have emerged from boredom.

 

Human beings are far too concerned with being busy all the time. I savour boredom like a fine wine. Sometimes it is a cheap and nasty bottle from pick and pay and you curse after each sip. Other times you find its a diamond in the rough that you picked up from odd bins at Checkers. And sometimes you pay the earth for it and it turns out to be only mediocre. Such is life.

This is deep, real deep  :whistling:

Oh wow we have a zen MTber in the midst. However a very angry one about correct lines and the like. I think I sense a lot of repressed rage under that bored facade.....

 

Just make peace that every man can choose his own line in life.

 

You see I was on the spruit the other day, and came across an obstacle where two lines diverged.

 

I chose the line less travelled, and was all the better for it (sic)......

Now this post will prove if Goose1111 whatever has a personal gripe or not.

Take it away Goose, another person you can reprimand .

1. The Road Not Taken 

 

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveller, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;        5

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,        10

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.        15

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less travelled by,

And that has made all the difference.        20

It's better to light a single candle than to stand and curse the darkness. I think you misinterpreted my passion for anger. The truth of the matter is the trail will always evolve we must each ask if what we are doing is making it better or worse. That is a debate that is important unless you are a roadie and are happy with what the government builds.

The Spruit was awesome yesterday. Slightly damp so the loose stuff had been compacted. Made for some very fast riding.

 

All except for the section just upstream of Ballyclare. About 50 meters of evil-smelling, overflowing effluence  :nuke:

 

Beware.

Well I must be honest, I saw another Spruit thread and my eyes lit up... I thought you guys were just joking about Fridays

A good thread always has picthas for us Neanderthubthugs.......what does the pickie rule state......or are we just grasping at straws and like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.......and for that live moment we walk a straight line and ride a curvilinear path.

Locking threads usually preserves the content so on rainy days hubbers can revisit and relive the whole thing all over again

 

so much anamosity, but why

 

Its a form of river rain dance

 

We better get out there and ride the other line more then!

 

Does Jozi need water that bad?
