Thaba Can be a tough place after 6 weeks never mind 6 years... he's obviously a good friend [emoji51][emoji39]

I'm amazed how much has changed since I was last there - probably 2013. I might just skip a few road rides and get some quality interval training done at Thaba.

 

Looking at Strava, I'm almost at the bottom of the leaderboard for some of the segments we cycled on... intervals would definitely change that.

Those who know a bit more about my track record will recall I have had terrible luck with frames. None of them seems to last more than a year ( https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/129957-oops-i-did-it-again-cracked-frame-and-again/ )

 

But I can now safely say I think the spell has been broken on this 2014 Silverback Sola that I bought used a year ago for less than R10k and then proceeded to put more than 10,000km on it - using the same front tyre nogals!

 

Super happy today, always though it was me that was the problem  :clap:

I feel like telling the business team to KMA, shut down my PC and go for a ride. I can't bear looking at all of these pics.  :whistling:

 

My Skype contacts from the company has been spamming me non-stop today.

No case just flat landed ....not enough balls to launch and clear the road ( yet)

 

How long is the run-in to the gap? 

 

Just need a little pop to clear it, by the looks of it.

Quit long actually its just after A huge pedal section , the road is probs just over 3m  wide

 

 

Peach usually comes in fast pops on the pallet and then flys 6-7m and lands on the slope far down ( i just need to get my mind there to do it )

 

My experience with road gaps: get a feel for the entry speed and just commit and huck it.

What a way to start the weekend .... commute to work on a Friday morning.

 

 

October last year I could not cycle up Suikerbossie (16 years of bikes and bust knees ..)

 

kept on doing the commute - twee-kamp style ..... cycle most of the way and walk two of the steep hills.

 

 

Today I gave it some stick .... kept the cadence up, slightly higher gear, twice my normal speed, and when the hill stepped up I got out the saddle and kicked it .... 155 to 162 bpm.  Recovered in about 90 seconds, knees are fine .....  

 

had to do a quick basin-bath at work ...  :whistling:   (will keep the morning commute more sedate, but the afternoon commute is getting to be FUN)
