Damn Bullet,that is just a plain k@k thing to happen.

Hope youre day only gets better,in a good way that is.

Did a Gran Fondo in the Cradle. First time for me >130km and 1600m climbs. And it wasn'nt even that hard!

 

My riding partner had **** luck and his Jamis Jamison carbon seat post snapped at 94km. Did the rest solo.

 

 

Edit: spelling

Decided to test out my new toy today (Garmin Edge 500) and when it picked up a course automatically (which I loaded last night) I decided to follow it. Was a nice ride, but learned that going over Northcliff from Fairlands on a 1x8 (34 and 11-32) is really not that easy (respect to everyone doing similar climbs without a granny gear).

Lovely ride yesterday after the rains. Even the fish eagles were vocal and that sound always puts a smile on my face. On the down side - got a tick trying to hitch a ride.
