Duane_Bosch Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 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. ChrisF and DJR 2

I decided one wet ride a weekend is enough.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.

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. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
DJR Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 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. BenReaper, Beattbox, BSG and 3 others 6
Fleming Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 A few colleagues and I also rode to work today. ChrisF, fanievb, BenReaper and 1 other 4
