Where has your bike taken you today?

[Me rida my bicycle]

Lekker wet ride, luckily Conties was dry when we went down but on the climb back to the mast to get to Bloemendal we got a nice ????.

Plan was to go find some sun

 

Below the fog

 

 

 

Trails were a bit icy

 

 

 

In the fog

 

 

 

Target in sight

 

 

 

The glare from the road

Resting place to let the sweat dry before going back down

 

 

 

Ready for a few km of downhill chill factor

 

 

 

Some frost on my gloves after the descent back down

We rode to Simonstown & back over Redhill in the p!$$ing rain. By the time we got to Fishhoek the novelty had worn off. And then it became scary. I think it's the additional road noise from the wet tires that makes the cars seem more threatening.

 

Then it was in the bakkie and off to Stellies for a shuttle day. Erm. p!$$ing there to. I decided one wet ride a weekend is enough.

I rode Noordhoek, Simonstown, Cape Point, Scarborough, Kommetjie and back to the caravan park ... absolutely soaked the whole way!

 

Throat not so lekker today but hopefully get over it in a day or 2, leaving on Saturday morning ....

Purely for safety, our rule has been to ride mountain if it rains and stay off the roads. I also think that Cape drivers go instantly more stupid the moment it starts to rain. Also, for some reason I seem to puncture more often when riding road in the rain.

That's a good rule. We did a spinbike session on Sat morning and the sight of all the okes cruising up Chappies while we were in a superheated studio filled me with jealous rage so we had to ride.

 

Windguru said it was going to clear so we bet on that. Yes. My fiance got a puncture and a dude that rode past us said he'd never seen so many puncture before. I think the water dislodges the glass & thorns that are settled in the gaps in the tar which means more punctures.

Work. Met a friendly bus driver this afternoon, one that didn't try to kill me. Normally when I see that Orange Arrow coming for me, my spidey sense start evaluating escape routes. This guy gave me room, waved me into the traffic and we ended up having a chat. Never too old to be surprised.

A few colleagues and I also rode to work today.
