Eddy Gordo Posted March 14, 2021 Share 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. OVERDRIVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted March 14, 2021 Share Argus-not-ArgusMy 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. mecheng89, bertusras, johnson and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted March 14, 2021 Share @The Ghost, How was your Summer Fast1?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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet77 Posted March 14, 2021 Share We went through Nieu-bethesda yesterday Karoo 100 miler, nice little town but it was the start of a very tough return to Lormar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted March 14, 2021 Share Sorry, wrong person. Was meant to be TheoG 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.

BSG Posted March 14, 2021 Share 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'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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrightJnr Posted March 14, 2021 Share Okay which one of you UAE boys was this? https://youtu.be/cqLnsDI5_QwNot me! But the AlQudra track is full of these skinny europeans smashing out pro level watts for breakfast. This Saffer built thug stands no chance!! This was taken about 5km from where I live. Very cool.

Bernard Horn Posted March 14, 2021 Share Once again went along cycle lane to see how the overnight cable theft was proceeding after 2 roadies had wheel damage there yesterday.As I passed the 1st diggings a movement in the trench caught my eye.True as f...there is the cable thief lying in the trench.I k..ed on him for dumping stones on the lane.He jumped out hid the spade and walked off,only to return as soon as I had left.This was at 6.45 am so I knew it would be shift change at SAPS and would get no joy there.What would you do?
