I’ve put a laugh here - smash it I won’t - mash it and survive the cutoff 

smash it was what I thought I was doing up a hill here the other day when a boy so underdeveloped he looked like a pre teen girl whizzed passed me and said “dag oom” as he cruised out of sight while I was full gas 

 

I was PUSHING myself to complete the Fine Breede in a personal record time ....

 

I was beginning to see stars ....

 

The longer route joined up for the last section ... with less than a km to go I gave it my all ....

 

En hier kom n laerskool bliksimpie verby my met n moerse smile: "Hello oom"

 

 

In that moment my ego hurt worse than my legs and lungs ....

yass I asked on french forums and got no good answer and now I have to just mention my trip on the hub to finally have a decent option, thanks for that !

I found rentals around hotspots like Mt Ventoux but I can't go from 12hrs/600+TSS a week to nothing for 6 weeks...  or maybe just a couple runs to hotspots where I can rent something.

I'll ask around Lyon if I can find a decent road bike otherwise I'll just ride my stepdads hardtail with my road pedals/shoes it will be better than nothing. Then most probably use these guys for when we stay in Marseille at the in laws ! 

You can thank me by posting lekker pics here when you there riding.

Kayamandi Bridge, Stellenbossie

 

Joh Dale. Last time you made the Bellville CBD look good, I thought that was a lucky shot, but now you did it with Kayamandi too!

Can I please schedule a photo shoot with you, maybe you can even make me look good!?

Quite amazed at how quickly the trail fairies at Hemel-en-aarde trails have repaired the damage from the recent storms. Almost all the damage had been fixed. 
 

On another note: wouldn’t it be awesome if we could use our Discovery Miles to buy annual permits at participating trails? I’d be up for that.

Winter is for sleeping in, and only riding when the temps are reasonable.

I have often, because of my statement above, wondered why there are so many individuals out riding at ridiculous temperatures in winter.

My conclusion was that they are not blessed with riding partners who are their spouses as well..there is a small window of opportunity, which has to be utilitised ( more or less while I am building my second cup of coffee for the day…)

goenoeg fynbrag…

We got going at a decent temp today, ave of around 20,  really isn’t bad for the middle of winter…

not much in terms of scenery this time of year in the highveld

stopped for a breather at this fallen tree, and by chance saw the owl, perched in full daylight. It was sitting, checking me out till my missus arrived, and then decided to make a move.

I am very lucky to have a life partner that also rides, who offers me the freedom to ride whenever I feel like it, with or without her.
