On my first big solo ride. While it may seem paltry to the double century 40kph racing snakes, to me it feels like I've climbed a mountain. Having bought my first bike as an adult in mid July with literally zero exercise in the last 4 years, to exceeding my goal for the ride by 12km and 3kph average was monumental.

 

We may not have picturesque mountains, but there's some beauty to be found in JHB if you look for it. 

 

Think I'm nearing readiness for my goal of a sub-5 94.7. My legs and lungs should be OK, my chommie not so much...

That Jeffsy a tad too hot for you?  :whistling:

Hehe. I was feeling fast & loose on Pat's. Need to follow a fast guy down there. Tried to take it across to the Granite but it was not to be. Tore my shorts and kneepad on an old metal fence post. SO lucky to get away with a few grazes and bruises.

 

Wrapped it up on Saturday and Sunday night coz I'm not allowed to bleed on my fiance's white bedding.

 

All fine tho. I'm a Junkyard Dog.

I've never hit the deck so hard in my life before.cracked a pedal and bent a crank arm. Really lucky to be sleeping at home tonight.
