Geriatrics corner

[Ibhayirob]

Hi intro corner

I should be in geriatrics corner but  I'll just spell  it out

I'm a 76 year old ex surfer from Port Elizabeth or j bay extention

 with one of the last free things I can do is cycle after
Surfing and board sailing finished off my back

My giant MB has served me well as a dog exerciser when  one knee gave in

Now that zahrah has gone hunting and I'm heading for an old age home in Somerset west 

I plan to spend as long as I can on two wheels exploring gentle back roads and dirt roads around my little box

Sorry to be a downer but we all get here one day

So humor me please with my simple posts and questions

I found you guys when I started wondering about safe rides between here and stellenbosch 

I grew up on a farm around there so I'll be looking for the dirt roads where I used to gallop my horse and try to relive some of that 

That's it sorry no Argus cycle racing here

You are "younger" than most of the Prince Albert visitors   

 

Living proof that "age" is just a number ....

Welcome to the Hub.

 

Thanks to you and @Prince Albert Cycles people like me are still middle-aged ... 

 

 

Have a look at "Southy Vines".  Nice spot to keep the wheel rolling.
