Where has your bike taken you today?

[Frosty]

Spring is here, so started before sunrise; daughter’s birthday party happening at 09:00.

Apparently I’m mad going out dressed like this.

HRV app said take it easy, but after stopping right at the start to take this pic the body felt strong.

Did a virtual ride on Rouvy, and it has got me thinking of a possible Tour across Lesotho ending down Sani Pass (when it’s eventually tarred).

Some awesome views.

3 weeks since my fall  ... At least been able to 'race' the avatars the passed few days.

Doctor appointment tomorrow morning, will see what comes from that 🤔

Why wait for 9km of the trip to be surfaced (could be unlikely at a projected cost of R1bn). A few years ago I was at the top and a few hard men on gravel bikes came up Sani having ridden from Nottingham Rd. Stop snivelling and get out there (TIC).

A few members of the club only have skinny wheel bikes, and the back up vehicle would need to be able to ride down Sani pass

Appreciate that and my comment was very much tongue in cheek. Was at Sani a few weeks ago - the "no man's land" between the border posts is pretty rough and rocky as well as a few spots with some ice. After the SA border the surfacing is complete and the road is beautiful. But I'm sure you know this.

How did the doc appointment go, Bennie? Hope recovery is on track. 👌🏾

All good thanks mate! He's pleasantly surprised how quick it's healed. One small spot that must close up on the tip of my nose ... A few days 😁

No more dressings required which is a big relief, crappy walking around with plasters and gauze on the lip and nose

Off to the dentist Wednesday morning to get that sorted. 

Need to see him in a months time, might need a small incision on the nose with just 1 stitch, unlikely though

Should be on the bike by the weekend if all goes well

Fantastic, Bennie. Looking good. Looking good!

Slent Road at dawn

Was just starting to enjoy the ride and then I picked up a nail in the tyre. Literally right after putting the phone away to take this pic. (BTW that is ride time not elapsed time :) )
