Thought I saw your bike there, maybe 11:00'ish ... Maritz and a school buddy was having fun .... ended up clocking about 15km ...

IMPACT Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Chris, no I did not stop at Bloemendal today. Did a 37km loop on my own, school holidays and son decided to sleep in[emoji2955] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ChrisF 1
BSG Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Stunning loop down to Glentana this morning with my boy, Dad and good mates. Beautiful buffalo with a calf right along the road. Crazy how many okes were on the road dusting off the cobwebs for CTCT. Then we don't seem them again till March next year! @Warrenlee. Here is a pic of the same dam you passed the other day after some more rain but 2 weeks later. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk Edited March 17, 2019 by BSG Rouxenator 1
ChrisF Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 PERFECT weather for ride ! Okay, also perfect weather to stay in bed .... started my ride almost an hour later than initially planned. After 50m I turned back home to get my long sleeve top .... Finally time to get going Section of the N1 is closed for the weekend, for resurfacing .... Now a couple of lekker tar road hills to wake up the muscles before getting to the trail entrance at St John street. But first a few pics along the way. Nice MISTY morning ... Shame, look at this house at the start of the Traverse. Must have happened in the last couple of weeks ... The light and the mist was simply superb for photography !! I just had to stop every so often for a few more pics, and for some more .... For the last couple of rides I was getting a "ting-ting" sound when climbing steep hills in the granny gear .... servicing just would not point out the cause ..... After my compulsory coffee stop at Bloemendal the ting-ing got significantly worse while riding up to the Eskom pylons ..... At Majik the problem finally manifested ..... So what am I going to use to keep this spoke safe for the ride home ? Oooo, after reading and commenting on the toolbag threads I have yet to actually put cable ties in my toolbag And I dont have a pair of pliers to get the spoke out, or even to just cut it short ..... Ended up doing a McGyver to get home .... PS - sharing this photo with a friend I was given a bit of advice ... bend the spoke 180 degrees, hold the nipple with your fingers, turn the spoke out .... I tested it, and it actually works ..... handy tip when "fun" happens along the trail ... BenReaper, DJR, IMPACT and 3 others 6

Me rida my bicycle Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Started as a lekker ride. Snake bite put an end to that. Took my boet for some wortelkoek to cheer him up.Foamo lying and waiting was going to fit a more aggressive tyre in front for him anyway. Now just adding Foamo to the rear and he should not have this problem again. DJR and BenReaper 2

Stiff sidewalls save tyres. And rims. Fact. DJR, henningvr and Me rida my bicycle 3
