fandacious Posted September 7, 2020 Share It's been a great ride. I've done 10 argus cycle tours (some fast, some slow), hundreds of PPA races, met some amazing people over the years, and developed a passion for endurance sport that will be with me for the rest of my life. on the weekend I realised that is has been 3 years since I have even been on a bicycle. I'm no longer able to ride from home - I have to pack the bike in the car to go ride, and that's hella impractical. I've taken up running instead (can't be sitting around doing nothing) and one day I hope to be able to get back on a bike. see y'all some day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted September 7, 2020 Share I still love cycling. Especially the downhill.... And I even used to get on my bike occasionally. In reality, I haven't had a ride in three years, but, I love my running and keep fit and active with that. It doesn't mean you can't partake in the forums... And join us on the cyclists with a running problem for advice and encouragement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted September 7, 2020 Share Cycling is in the blood.You'll be back (your knees will most likely force you. )Sell your bike.......that way, years from now WHEN you start cycling again, you'll be able to buy a brand new bike because you sold your old one. fandacious, Pure Savage, FlashJordan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-Boy Posted September 7, 2020 Share I started a thread a while back about feeling guilty for being active on this forum while not actually having been on my bike in a long while.The running thread on here is pretty active and there is a lot more than just cycling in these forums.

FondTF2 Posted September 7, 2020 Share You WILL be back. I had a similar route many years back. Rode numerous Arguses in the 1990's. Got tired of the cycling and returned to my running roots early 2000's.Completed multiple Two Oceans, comrades until the knees started telling me they had had enough. Returned to cycling in 2010 when by brother had arranged a ride over the Prince Alfred Pass for his 40th Bday and have never looked back. As others have mentioned, it is in your blood. Enjoy the running exploits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted September 7, 2020 Share I've got 2 other cars. its just the hassle of having to pack the bike every time I want a ride isn't much fun You should move to Joburg for a while to know how good you have it down there. It can't possibly take longer than getting to and from the cradle for a spot of tarmac. no idea where mtb'ers go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted September 7, 2020 Share You wouldn't be the first or the last person on this here hub to not actually be a 'cyclist' or at the very least being an active cyclist... Me thinks a straw poll may surprise us all [emoji848] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
