Andrew64 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Latest I leave is 6 but in summer I leave earlier(04h30/05h00) some days to do extra. Then I leave work at 15h15 and ride for as long as my wife and toddler will allow me to, which lately is straight home. I work at the airport.I should get my daughter to join you on days the shifts work out.
Long Wheel Base Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 I should get my daughter to join you on days the shifts work out.Anytime.Glad I no longer work shifts. I got a lot less training done back in my shift days. I'll pm you.
Bateleur1 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Hey Hairy, the SS experience was rather nice at the end I must say. Have to admit I am aware of one or two hidden muscles I didn't know existed before. Should do it more often, but without the bloody wind I had yesterday on my way back.

I found that riding into the wind with a SS you are better off riding faster and keeping a consistent pace....with gears you are usually tempted to gear down and spin more. and we know a little about riding in the wind in CT
Long Wheel Base Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Doesn't look like I will hit 3k today. Pouring here in JNB and it doesn't look like it will ease up anytime soon. Not keen on riding extra in the rain. Its 8km straight home and I am 29km short. O well.
Bateleur1 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I will be hitting the 6k mark of total distance for the year (all cycling and not just commuting) on my way home but I will surely sweat for it. One heck of a wind that came up and it is only going to get worse
Long Wheel Base Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Looks like I am going to get wet on my way home again today. Luckily it's Friday because I am running out of dry helmuts and shoes to commute in.

Long Wheel Base Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 agreed .............. BECAUSE FRIDAYS WE DO BEER FRIDAY RIDES on the way home LOL I don't drink(Flame suit on but I am used to the abuse from friends about not drinking) so that is wasted on me. Enjoy the beers, hope they icy cold.

Enjoy the beers, hope they icy cold. The riders in our group who also do not drink buy Ginger Beer from the Woolies next door to where we get our beers
Long Wheel Base Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 The riders in our group who also do not drink buy Ginger Beer from the Woolies next door to where we get our beers So I am not the only oke that doesn't drink . I won't lie, I do get jealous hearing stories of cracking open cold beers and I stand there with a coke. No good story started with "hold my coke"
cat-i Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Got a bonus commute in today Going to Waterval boven this weekend and after the maths was done, it's faster cycling home, shower, load bikes and then leave, than packing the Jimny, bring it to the office, and then get stuck in Sandton peak hour traffic. Looked a bit wet earlier but right now looks like it will be a gorgeous ride home - pity I have to get home quickest route and can't detour along the Spruit today.

Enjoy the weekend away.

Hairy Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Seems my inning to this Challenge will be comming to an end soon WeatherOct.JPGthat sucks ......... on a lighter note CT is rocking some great weather and if I remember to log all my rides, and endo does not drop me this week, I should hit 6K by Beer Friday!

We have had the most beautifull Autumn and stunning cycling scenes in golden landscapes. I might get to commute tommorow and then also Wednesday and Thursday. Friday is still uncertain. If my spares for the MTB brakes come in time I might still do Friday as well. Next week I have leave on Monday and then we have two public holidays in a row and then rain and possible snow. Time will tell.
