Not many jobs around. I don't want to sit at home crying. Riding my bike seems to stop the tears. Hopefully I will find work before the end of the year.

Constantly went over 90% Max HR today and had no power, so something is brewing inside...

Heavy legs day. Should have stayed in bed, but glad I never.

Had a bit of an infection, so stayed off the bike since Tuesday. These pics are torture. Maybe tomorrow....

Merweville. Headwind from the N1. I stopped and tried to cry. The wind was so strong my tears dried before they left my eyes.

Every time I come to a small Karoo village I fall just that little bit more in love with it. 

 

If you have been to Merweville, then you have been on the road less traveled! Respect!

Edit: I lived there for a year or two as a toddler. My father was (briefly) a teacher there. Later, while in junior school in Prince Albert (in the "year beyond") we occasionally played rugby against Merweville. This was their field at its very best!

Swartberg Pass into Prince Albert. Slept on the mountain. Nice to get to shower today. 

I simply love your evocative images. Two of my fave memories are from that Swartberg Pass peak.

1. Cycling up (edit: from Oudtshoorn on my Alpina) to camp solo in the snow on a clear full moon night twenty six years ago. Spectacular.  Snow, clear full moon, solitude, it's still an almost surreally beautiful memory decades later. That pass is Thomas Baines' seventeenth and last, and most spectacular pass IMO. 
2. Looking down on a lightning storm in the clouds below us while picnicking at the edge of the forest on the Prince Albert side of the peak with my young kids, also after snow.

Jeez Merweville is the saddest place I have been to in SA. It really is bleak and dreary with only a pretty church building to brighten it up a bit.

Sorry this was in reply to DJR earlier post. Still trying to figure out the new improved Bikehub????
