cat-i Posted June 22, 2017 Share Cat-i, I see the 2000 mark is waving at you. Well done. It's slower going if I don't ride with Nancy. Hopefully we'll both get to our respective 1000's by the end of next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted June 22, 2017 Share Riding in to work this morning in the rain and wind made the cycle rather interesting here in the Cape. Thursday mornings I get a lift into town ... but I will be cycling home .... recon I need to start declining the lifts so I can claw back my mileage to catch you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieV Posted June 22, 2017 Share What time did you leave home?I left home at 05:51 in the middle of the rain. When i got to work an hour later, it had all but stopped raining. I left Obs around 7:20am .... stopped raining by the time I got to the N7 ..... and then just very wet roads up to Tygervalley ... But with the wind from behind it really made the ride a lot warmer .... I was wet, but not too cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping this afternoon a tail wind. 7:20am is a nice time to ride. almost sunrise. I am riding with the night creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted June 22, 2017 Share Do any of you use mud guards at all? Had to find a temp solution till I can find a decent set of full guards, so bought a "ass saver" type rear guard from Sportsmans for R35.00, and it seems to do the trick!

My MTB is my wet weather bike fitted with removable mud guards. If things don't look good I use the MTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am riding with the night creatures.was late this morning though ... usual time is before 7 .... trying for 6:30 .. and then summer will try for 5:45, or maybe earlier..... I enjoy the quieter road earlier ... where you have the road to yourself to challenge the strava segments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samson99 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Still need to get mudguards. But will definitely do that. The amount of water that the tyres sprays is madness. Makes the feet wetter than just the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur1 Posted June 22, 2017 Share I don't know wether you can source it in SA but if you can get your hands on these you won't regret it. I bought a set here and what I like is they are easy to clip on and off and don't rattle. http://www.sks-germany.com/produkte/shockblade-26-27-5-zoll/ http://www.sks-germany.com/produkte/x-blade-28-29-zoll/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
