Where has your bike taken you today?

[Eugene Oppelt]

Thanks. Yes the recovery even surprises me. Medical technology is amazing.

Lekka, @MTBeer

Recovery and prognosis varies with the complexity or nuance of the injury or issue with the joints

A friend carries celestamine (spelling) with him. He is hyper allergenic when it comes to a bee sting.

 

He gave a pill to another club that was stung last week.

Ah yes thanks, a good antihistamine that.

I used to carry an epipen but they have such a short shelf life and are very expensive.

@The Ghost,

How was your Summer Fast1?

[Eddy Gordo]

That’s the 2nd post about a bee sting in recent times.

Are any of you allergic to bees and if so what do you do/ carry on the bike?

It’s one of my biggest concerns in summer and I’m in the countryside, especially swallowing one and being stung in the throat; I seem to swallow a fair amount of gogos [emoji85]

I am allergic. I ride with buff and pull it up especially on descents. So far been lucky.

My little 109 for 109. Bit breezy today but we took a chilled ride. Besides the ITB pain that came on 20km into the ride and never went away I felt good. Really enjoyed it.

@The Ghost,

I’m not sure what you’re referring to there, it’s not yet summer here and when I cycle the word fast can’t really be used to describe it. [emoji85]

Franschoek for tonight. My brother has gifted me a night here. Then Greyton tomorrow. Destination Nieu-bethesda. Thanks to Prince Albert Cycles for the idea. He has just done a return trip from there I believe. It looks amazing.

What is your planned route ?

We went through Nieu-bethesda yesterday Karoo 100 miler, nice little town but it was the start of a very tough return to Lormar.

It went terrible, the climbing is insane, in hind sight should have done the 40km.  The technical stuff I could handle, it was the fitness that was the problem, just the other way around as I anticipated.  At least its done and dusted and now I know.

 

Edit:  Thanks for asking.

I was pretty surprised that they took us up to the masts and then some today [emoji54] but hey you do what you gotta do [emoji41]

 

The riding in the Eye was sublime as always ... won some ice cream money so a good day all round!

I cant believe it.Are you off again?

[Kranswurm]

Sure thing. Unless you got a job for me.

I was going to ask the same thing.

 

Enjoy and keep us up to date

I'm allergic to bees, not deadly allergic. Only swelling up a lot and had the odd breathing problems when I got stung. Although I never had/have anything with me for when I get a bee sting, guess it's kind of reckless [emoji854]

[The Ghost]

Well it is a difficult one to prepare for really.
