You're a lot tougher than I! It was hard getting up for today's commute - it was only Samson blowing in my neck that made me get up this morning.

 

Out of personal experience I know that Samson and Hairy are quite motivating two characters ;)

Please don't feel pressured into riding your bike in such horrid weather conditions :P

You wouldn't have done that in joburg this morning.

Yesterday morning the temperature hovered around 12*C but the wind made it feel much colder

 

I am hoping it warms up a bit by this evening. We are doing a ride at Modderfontein Nature Reserve.

Geez! Cat-i, last two days have been 70km+ days. How the heck are you managing that?

I'm exhausted in the afternoons doing my puny 36km commuting days.

 

Much Respect!

 

Not to worry, Cat-i can take it easy next week as i will be on leave and will slump to 3rd.  :whistling:

second time in a month or so I have had to bus home with the bike after either glass cutting my tyres to shreds or metal doing the same.....going to have to build up the MTB SS commuter that has taken far too long to build up

Sorry to hear Hairy

That sucks, but just be glad you live in CPT, No ways you can use the bus up here. Only option here is UBER. I'm keen to see the MTB build.

ja .. that build will still take a little more time than planned.

 

  • Momsent STR frame
  • used and abused hand me down hope pro 2's laced to stans crest rims
  • a old niner rigid fork that chewabakawaka dude has been keeping for me
  • then run her SS with a 36x16t for the commute ... but have a spare crankset that I will fit a 42t in order to run 42x16t
  • tyres ... the cheapest I can find when I do the build
  • have my old giant dropper that will act as a seat post.

What size seatpost you need? Might have one for you

Thanks ... but if the Giant dropper does not work I think I have a spare rigid post that will do the trick.

Our own little 'Camino de Commute' this week - trying to get to 300 and 5000 ascent in the week.

 

You were a big part of the inspiration for that ... Mr Cat-i (you've met him last year when Nancy delivered the Sani2C cookies) has been trying to catch you for months but you never allowed the gap to shrink. 

 

How I manage? Almost not! Lots of coffee at the office and early nights every night. Was very hard to get up this morning. Tomorrow hopefully will be a bit easier knowing that it's Friday.
