Big day out trying to rack up gravel miles in prep for 96 Hours, featuring the saddest soccer field in the world in Slovakia and swans stopping play, but the mid-ride pizza in Bratislava was 🫶

The body can do almost anything. It’s your mind you have to convince.

That's correct. More Knysna. The pass that is elusive!! Absolutely perfect weather.

Prime View mudfest! Was a lot of fun with a lot of cleaning afterwards.

Science of Sport Mayhem challenge:

Rules:
- max distance = 50km
- road rides only, no gravel or mtbing
- can't ride the same stretch of road twice in either
direction (so no out and backs or u-turns. You can cross
an intersection perpendicularly)
- start and finish in the same place.

Planned route was 49.9, but a couple left turns were closed (boomed off area).

I've just thought of an idea for the below 5deg mornings. Instead of putting the nytril gloves UNDER the normal gloves, I'm going to try them OVER. My thinking is that the normal gloves have some sort of moisture wicking and should keep the hands dry, the nytril gloves should stop the wind.

I once tried the nitrile gloves under my cycling gloves. After less than 5km my fingers were drenched in sweat and almost froze of. Couldn't get life back in them for three hours. 

Fingers still an issue, no matter what type of gloves or combination of gloves I try.

First spin around the valley post crash. Small victories. Subsequently been to a couple of specialists. Torn ACL and CCL ligaments in shoulder and still contemplating surgery, but at least my the pain is manageable and I’ve got fair range of movement, so will wait it out a bit.

Ma se hare ❄️ and it'll get colder here on the Highveld in Alberhoughton no doubt!

When you meet an old friend along the way that is a gazillion times faster than you (no exaggeration 😜 ) and he doesn't mind to ride along with you for a while ... those are good mates 👍

Constantia Nek and Greenbelts for a change. Again surprisingly fun. Love pleasant winter conditions.

Tried out some of the trails at Lion & Safari Park today. An excellent way to spend R60 (total!) - awesome trails and a nice lunch at the restaurant afterwards 🤤 Bonus: nice play area for my kiddo.
