Past the SS Mendi memorial at UCT on my way to work. (One for the history buffs.)

"Be quite and calm my countrymen, for what is taking place now is what you came here to do. We are all going to die, and that is what we came for. Brothers, we are drilling the death drill. I, a Zulu, say here and now that you are all my brothers... Xhosas, Swazis, Pondos, Basotho and all others, let us die like warriors. We are the sons of Africa. Raise your war cries my brothers, for though they made us leave our assegais back in the kraals, our voices are left with our bodies..."

(The Reverend Isaac Wauchope Dyobha)

And a few more, the first pic is about the only structure that remains intact at the old caravan park, my bike is visible behind the tree. The second one is a building at Gearings Point, I liked the clouds in the background, makes the building pop out. The girl in the blue dress fits in quite nicely, I thought. The last one is just above the Old Harbour

That was a great break at Kei Mouth, met a few other cyclists, and a hubber, I can't remember all the rides, and tried to take pics on all of them, but....

A good long ride on the Bigwig

Rode with a few guy's that I've met a long time ago, and a chap who approached me on The Deck at Morgs, spotting my Sani2C tee

Some subterranean Cycads, my neighbour, who is big into his plants, was very excited about the number that I found Stangeria eriopus

We took a detour along the beach, and ended up having to push a lot of it

arriving at the pont, 10 minutes after it closed due to the tide being too low(spring low tides)

post-2975-0-27414800-1452263627_thumb.jpg

we sat there for 3 hours waiting for the pont to start operating, and a mama from a shebeen wouldn't go and get some beers for us :cursing: . The queue of cars just about 1/2hr before it started operating again

and yet another ride with some racing snakes, I usually budget on riding 10kmph in the Transkei, but this ride was closer to 12kmph, with some extensive bhundu bashing, and a beer at the Seagulls hotel

I was sweating here

Rode our bikes to breakfast. We got there early so OH made me practice my curb technique to earn my brekkie.

 

Condiment thing had a pic of a bike on it that said "Love the journey, enjoy the ride"
