.....true....2hr riding with a total of 3km on the bike!

Here's some more photos..

I have been bribed by MsBehavn so that photo will remain in my private collection.  

 

  I think that I provided enough entertainment to the riders yesterday ... if anyone wants to see it - they'll have to join us on the next one!!

MMM as you can see from most of the pics and going back to Holly's explination :'It's mostly flat"

Thuggy's picture does not do justice to the amount of mudd there was, my bike looked 10 times worse, My front deraileur (spelling?) was so cacked up with mud, I couldn't shoft it at all, until I managed to wash some of it off in that river.

Nice pics' date=' Thug!  Has Hog surfaced yet?  His rear derailleoure got tangled with the chain and cassette and drop-out. We tried to convert to single-speed, but it rather turned out speed-less. The he was gone.[/quote']

 

After being lost in the sand for a week, surviving by eating my spare tube and drinking that funny red-coloured water, I finally made it back home. I'm fine, just need to take a week off from work to recover. I'm sure the partners will understand...

Haha! I couldn't SEE my front d?railleur till after I sprayed the bike down! Our paved courtyard has a nice 2-inch layer of sand over it after I cleaned the bike there, I swear! I'm going to buy some grass on the way home and plant it tonight. Always wanted a nice garden, but I didn't know what to do with the bricks

If they had seen and smelt that redish water they would.

I fear they may just put me in an institution if I told them about that 'water'!

I think Holy might have swallowed some of that water. Could've sworn i heard him singing country n western music shortly after we crossed blood river...

Really? I just remember thinking "If I dunk his head in the water he might stop singing" but then I thought rather not. He may mutate and grow louder.

Plus you going to have to get a grass cutter, and lesen your cycling time due to gardening time....

 

Stay with the brick paving
