Was a nice rustige 72Km (according to my clock - there is some dispute against Wannabe's distance).

 

I got full KOM points well...... there wasn't a race really B)

 

Will maybe join again next Sunday for the same ride.

 

p.s. Wannabe - I still feel K@K about what happened today..... fork skewer was bent beyond use - got an old rear wheel skewer and got my brother to turn out more thread to work for the bracket. Next time I suggest we rather tie it down..... it's just safer.

[bikemonster]

I will just add that sirK is an absolute machine, and that Wannabe claims to be out of shape.

 

Nice guys both, but obviously completely untrustworthy.

 

Weather permitting, JP and I will be doing the same route on Fri and Sun next weekend.

[Wannabe]

SirK, not your fault. You DID suggest we use the tie down.... Damage not that bad, new bartape will do wonders.

Bikemonster, I really am out of shape, just had a good day today. Completely rested, no riding during the week after that dog took a chunk out of my leg on Monday. Next week will be different, as I intend to put in some mileage (weather permitting).

Where dis Palm Grove Centre located?

And headwind is putting it mildly. Weather24 predicts 40km/h + SE. Gonna be brutal.

Airbender - what happened to the Bainskloof - rawsonville - du toits kloof ride? Am I going to have to do it alone sometime?

Wind will only get "woes" later in the morning / early afternoon...

 

and besides... riding in the wind makes you strong

Tx SirK. Why does he not just say "In front of Mugg & Bean".

Then I'll know where it is...

I look forward to that dream route too, SirK...

My calendar will accommodate that another time.

If you hang with me, you will learn new things...

['Dale]

Yep. Not many upgrades from there. The bike's already faster than I am.

 

"And Alexander wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer."

I am in the same boat... Er, on the same saddle...

[Wannabe]

If you hang with me, you will learn new things...

And it look like its going to be fun...

Weather forecast for the weekend is looking better and better.
