I'm supposed to go to langebaan on Boxing day, might save fuel and put every one on bikes...

Reroute with the gusts - visited Kommetjie for the first time in many seasons.

I reckon anyone with blue skies like that and temperatures above the 20 deg C should have to do double the distance / 1000km.

jealousy makes me honest

Nice try

The angry wind gods are going on holiday after the 26th. Will be back in the saddle on the 27th. I see rain / thunderstorms forecasted on the 30th. Yoh!

And my son's birthday on the 31st. Gotta love the challenge this year.

Last year this time I was lying in ICU (came home on Xmas day) and no riding after that for almost 2 months ...

I have recovered and have joined the challenge, having said that I certainly won't make the 500 but am interested to see how close I can come ... 

Respect.💙

Nice little breeze out there today ....

You're lucky man. Here in Pretoria the rain caught us all day ( literally). And some of us don't have indoor trainers😅.

Slowly chipping away at the total ...

Two new approaches 

either klap it next 5 days, hoping th weather holds out, which it looks like it wont

or

let the body recover properly and do the Versus 500 challenge next week
