samson99 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Thanks. The tour guides will be transporting the bags.I will bank the miles and we can discuss whether they count as commuting after the fact. Will post strava links. Sound fair? I would be inclined to say yes. Start and end point is different and it is something that you could have done in a car. You will most probably be carrying bags etc with/on you. Not sure what the others think but I wouldn't have an issue. Although, as last years winner maybe you should forfeit these miles.

Bateleur1 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Samson99 question brings up another one with me. We will be getting some family visiting us in June. There is a distinct possibility (weather permitting) that we might take them to some of the lakes in Austria to swim for the day. Out car will be to small to accomodate all so I will be riding my bike there while the rest of the family travels by car. Would that classify as a commute?

Long Wheel Base Posted April 10, 2018 Share Glad I had lights on this morning - very misty/foggy going through some of the river valleys in the Fourways area....Usually the east rand is worse but today it was clear. It's building up now though and looks like some rain is possible, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samson99 Posted April 10, 2018 Share I would say yes. If i remember correctly, it was stated in the beginning of the thread somewhere that if you start at one point and end at another point it is considered a commute. Unless it is a race of course. We should maybe setup some rules as to what exactly constitutes a commute. Fetching milk, riding to work, extending riding to work, etc. How should we go about this?

Hotel to Hotel could potentially become a bit woolly ... when does an event become a race? Not that I will catch samson, so from my position on the leaderboard it's fine ... i'm just a bit envious!

Bateleur1 Posted April 12, 2018 Share A bit of a repost but thought it would be ok to post these pictures again in this thread. Commuted this morning with a co-worker if mine. He lives in the same town as me. Was his first commute so had to take it easy with him otherwise the evening ride back is going to be hell for him. Had some time to take the more scenic route and take some pictures. Co-worker suffering up the only real climb on the route .. Alps looking nice this morning. Amazing this time of the year is how much more you see as the trees still have not grown their new leaves yet and you tend to observe more. Nice sunrise ...

Herman V Posted April 12, 2018 Share I spent the week in the hospital with pneumonia. This ends my non-stop commute since November. I don't even know how I will get to work next week and have no idea how long it will take to get back on the bike. My lungs took some bad shots. Any recovery suggestions?
