Where has your bike taken you today?

I'm jealous as all hell. Today Cape Town is miserably cold, wet and with a forecast of snow on the surrounding mountains. I'm not as robust as I used to be. Think I'll sleep late.

Each in turn, my friend. I remember that feeling from 6 months ago ;-)

An old British gentleman, one of the part time Capetonians that we call "swallows", once told me that as a young man, he decided his goal in life would be to never have another winter. As soon as he made enough money, he started migrating yearly between London and Cape Town. As a life goal, I can think of worse ones!

That's hubby's and my plan too, no joking! At least spend 2-3 months in the winter abroad. With energy costs here and cheap living in SA, it would almost save us money ;-)

Started a cold morning ride. Temp measured 6 degrees on the cars computer. 

 

However the rest of the morning looked promising

Under the trees the weather was great, trail conditions were a treat

As I got higher up it got alot colder. I started to notice all these white patches, in Eden of all places

 

 

 

Pic not doing the snow justice

 

 

Icicles and snow on the ground

 

 

But at least the is plenty water coming down the mountain

Visiting Croatia at the moment and my boy and I rented a couple of bikes last week and took a ride up the coast. Brutal heat but stunning

Came across this time machine, not the bike but the machine the bike is leaning on. 

 

Its a time stamp machine at the start of a hill climb. You fill in a card (cards and pencils from the machine), time stamp it and race off on the course. At the finish there is another machine which you use to time stamp your card and then put the card in the machine.

 

They move them around every couple of weeks to another course and you can ride as many times as you like...all for fun no prizes, just an incentive to get out there and exercise. They publish the results on the internet
