Frosty Posted January 4, 2015 Share What a crazy 24 hours... drive belt ripped to shreds on the N1, 50km outside Bloem. Got towed to a lodge close to Toyota, but after they had closed for the day (yesterday). So my bike took me into town to get some drinks and snacks, some cash and best of all - a short ride in a town I've only ever visited once before. Hopefully I can get some more miles in tomorrow while the car is in for repairs. Edit: friends listen to your problems, great friends (help) solve ypur problems - fellow club mate drove to Bloem to collect my wife and kids, who are now safely home in familiar surroundings.

Frosty Posted January 4, 2015 Share My bloody friends make jokes about the fact that I always have the bike on the back of the Landrover..........ready to ride when I break down I noticed a few Land Rovers on the back of flatbeds during our travels these holidays. One landie had a L (limpopo) registration with a caravan in tow, and were being towed between Middelburg (EC) and Colesberg yesterday. I feel their pain.

Frosty Posted January 4, 2015 Share I noticed it because we were stuck behind them for a few K's. Then saw them a second time when they passed me while I was waiting for my turn to be hitched up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni Posted January 5, 2015 Share Went with the monthly cycles on their full moon ride around Braamfontein. It really is a pleasure to ride through areas we don't normally frequent, all cars, including taxis were great. I even actually felt comfortable on the roads. Sorry, we went through some red lights It was go or get left behind. Urban park /public free gym. The stuff is actually in very good condition and clean. Got to ride the cycle lanes. Apart from one bus parked in the one, was clear of traffic, but so much glass Around Mary Fitzgerald square the one guys wheel exploded. Was rather freaky.

blondeonabike Posted January 6, 2015 Share Missus and I left the kids with the nanny and went for a little cycle this morning . IMG_1656.JPGI hope you guys get to do this more often. For a mum to leave her kids in safe care and go for a ride, is like being set free. Ryanpmb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko35s Posted January 6, 2015 Share As per usual Tokai.For some reason the baboons were in extra stroppy mode today and actually made me back off away from the entrance to the Boulders trail. Ended up waiting ten minutes for them to take their fight elsewhere and then carried on.Random picture from upper Vasbythttp://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/DSC_0160_zps036d979d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
