Recognise the places from our trip 2 weeks ago! Did you do that crazy 500km ride you posted about?

I did a shortened version of it. Not enough time in one weekend for someone of my speed.

Gentle Jesus blessed me this long weekend. My friend Dipslick came to ride in my valley. His little girl joined us and she is an ANIMAL with a capital A. Like her Dad.

Lots of corrugated  roads . Lots of wind.  Lots of dust.

But... could we ask for more!

Fanks Dipper, love you long time

who's the tired outjie on the steps?

I broke the tibia and the fibula and tore some ligaments. How? Lifting the front wheel to high and forgetting to modulate the brake. Stepped off to not land on my unhelmeted pip and POP.

Eish !!!  I broke the tibia and the fibula in March, luckily no ligaments.  I'm almost back to normal, cant run on it yet though.

Baie sterkte with the recovery, its a pain in the arse !

Ja ja, they are lower, and the pain in the foot and ankle is very real.  The recovery process is a pain in the arse because you suddenly get hugely dependent on other to do even simple tasks.
