Everybody knows that the world champs rainbow stripes are based off cycling tan lines and that they are revered.

Hairy Posted October 23, 2021 Share 40 minutes ago, copperhead said: 15 050 kilometers. According to the almighty strava. Was aiming for 2K a month but seems I got lazy somewhere! ???? That is a decent amount of mileage ... when we were still "in office" and not working from home I would do around the 9K mark a year to work and back .... so you doing well. I can only assume you are feeling fit and strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted October 23, 2021 Share Short ride with the youngest at Avianto today. Complaints from start to finish. But I’m hoping the “time spent with dad” memories will be worth all the complaining. Ugh.. Frankenbike… Not even the dual bottle cage can make me like this bike.

RocknRolla Posted October 24, 2021 Share Fun Gaalens today. There was a 24h event on, but this did not bother us, as we were headed towards concrete climb. that little bump went surprisingly well. Amazing what one can achieve with the modern technology of gears. wife had a little tumble in some soft sand in the one corner, but nothing serious. We then decided to give pomphuis a go, at the option of turning right to complete pomphuis, the missus ( I am blaming her completely for this) decided we should try snakebite trail. Something neither of us have ridden before. All I can say is, go and experience it for yourself, it’s quite something. Frankenbike behaving. after more switchback climbing, and more climbing. At this stage I heard the sentinel of a baboon troop barking laughter at us. He was clearly aware of the foolishness of these humans, taking their machines where only baboons can leisurely stroll… We almost gave up, temps were just above 30°, and water was running low. (This is only about 25kms into the ride) After climbing forever, one is rewarded with some gnarly down sections, the arm pump was a deserving reward. We decided to go back to the shop at skeerpoort, and fill up on some water, I had coke and a bar one, as my breakfast was burned up on the concrete climb, nevermind the snakebite ( redubbed JMSP climb, by me). onwards to the river section, it was great, shady, cool and flowing. I could taste beer and smell pizza at this stage… We jumped in the car and high tailed it to ale house. and pizza So much for easing back into it. My garmin suggested 4 days of recovery. I know the beer and pizza will have reduced that…. Edited October 24, 2021 by RocknRolla SilverRider, Trashy, Hairy and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
