Came across this time machine, not the bike but the machine the bike is leaning on. 

 

Its a time stamp machine at the start of a hill climb. You fill in a card (cards and pencils from the machine), time stamp it and race off on the course. At the finish there is another machine which you use to time stamp your card and then put the card in the machine.

 

They move them around every couple of weeks to another course and you can ride as many times as you like...all for fun no prizes, just an incentive to get out there and exercise. They publish the results on the internet

They also only operate office hours? :ph34r:

Good question... if they are anything like the airforce then yes.

 

The barracks I saw which are very close to missiles and inside the "security" area are being used to house asylum seekers.....

 

BTW the missiles are Bloodhound anti aircraft missiles according to the sign at the gate and google earth

Loving it!

Oh and I had to navigate my way through a massive herd of cattle. That is cow poo all over my bike.

Eish

Land mines

Hard to avoid them ????

 

Good going, Vetseun

Awesome ride out at the YouGoGirl PPA race, on Anura/Neil Joubert wine farms. Fabulous ride, great organization.

Tried out the newest (old) addition to the D stable, a late 80s Alpina - just a bit of tweaking and the whole team will be ready for next years Eroica SA. 

 

We meandered through the neighbourhood to get to the Cape Knife Guild show in Rondebosch. Despite the tattoos, heavy metal t-shirts and beyond-hipster beards of the crowd, we sure were the pair dressed the weirdest by a mile! Bought the boss a chefs knife made from a recycled Ford Fairlane leaf spring. Managed, with great difficulty, to steer the youngest D away from a leg-long sword! 

 

What a stunning Cape Town winters day! Sure was great to get out a bit!
