Where has your bike taken you today?

My wife gets the moerin with me because I insist that I can do it myself. I'm not an invalid and I have a very high pain threshold and don't like taking pills.[emoji23]

As I thought!!

Take the pills, the only thing tougher than a tough Eastern Cape farmer, is an Eastern Cape farmers' wife! You don't want to bump into one and end up with a concussion also !

SBR with an unfit mate.

 

You bastards told me it was tough, but that was hectic.

Is that a green mamba I see?

We started off a lekker ride, riding the first 30km of GKT, beautiful ride to start off a "race", and my companions persuaded me to change the route.

Then once on the straight flat? gravel roads, I decided to take a pic of the Windvogelberg, a landmark of note, when I hit a patch of corrugations. Bike went one way(and it's okay if anyone is worried, but the Bigwig takes more than a flat road spill to damage it) and I went the other way.

The pic

My knee was a mess. Ended up in surgery to clean the knee joint.

Bladdy hell thats a wound of note on your knee

Hope you heal up soon

Nice bike. How's it with the lefty. I'm getting too old for rigid forks and that's a cool solution

Took the gap while the zoo was sleeping and went for a lekker mid-day ride at Southeys Vines.

I burped my front wheel and nearly lost my front wheel while exiting the wallride-slash-badly-built-berm.

I'll just have to show it a bit more respect.

And then afterwards it was so nice riding in the rain that I went home the long way round.

Maluti Double 90 yesterday... getting soft in my old age. Those hills were hard, harder than I remember the last time I did the event (2016).

 

 

The funny thing is, in 2016, we were 17th in 6:03 compared to 2019: 37th in 5:32. Sure, there were more than 100 teams now compared to the 57 in 2016.

Some of these distances you guys do really makes me feel very unmanly - I did 1 km more than you though (in the entire month of March)

Yissie!! Amazing. I think there's less than 10 people on here (I'm not one of them) that can even comprehend what you guys achieved. MUCH RESPECT!!

Tx Duane. In a way much more of a mental challenge than a fitness challenge (though your body takes shots - at the moment I can't sit on my saddle without excruciating pain so no commuting for at least a week). Was a massive adventure, some stories to tell the youngsters one day when I'm too old to cycle!
