Patchelicious Posted February 2, 2021 Share a how much now ? MTD? A MTD... Mechanical Twitter Device. A farmer screams all his "k@k gedagtes" into the bottom of that thing and it broadcasts it to everybody in the surrounding area through the multidirectional megaphones at the top...

Prince Albert Cycles Posted February 2, 2021 Share This thing. Made me laugh. Any ideas the story behind it?Elephants roamed in that area many many moons ago. That neck was on their route. If you blow hard enough on one of those stems it replicates the noise of an elephant trumpetting. But you must have good lungs . Like you.

There’s no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.But then there’s the washing of the kit and bike [emoji52] I was out in the rain and mud yesterday, it was bearable and then I got home.... I undressed in the empty bath, mud everywhere as I peeled off the shoe covers, washed the outer layers and showered with my bib tights; I washed the bike today.I do not enjoy the cleanup.

I undressed in the empty bath, mud everywhere as I peeled off the shoe covers, washed the outer layers and showered with my bib tights; I washed the bike today.I do not enjoy the cleanup.As I was on the MTB, on the roads, I don’t have too dirty a bike. I arrived home as it was getting dark, so I am leaving the bike wash until tomorrow. I prefer to wash the bike immediately after getting home so that I can rinse the (old) gear at the same time. It then goes straight into the washing machine. Makes getting on the bike the next time so much more pleasant. Also, part of deciding to go out in the wet, is knowing I have to clean the bike.

Doing it in summer isn’t so bad, but standing outside when it’s 1 degree and washing a bike is pure misery.That’s what make Gauteng a pleasure in winter... it’s usually warmer during the day, and more than often dry too.

The Ghost Posted February 2, 2021 Share I must shamefully admit that the MTB doesn’t get a wash often, I guess I see it as the rough and tough bike, but the Diverge I feel like I have to wash.#shameful Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted February 3, 2021 Share Nice to see some sunshine again, albeit for less tha n 30 minutes. Next time I’ll bring my fishing gear, but I don’t have a license. NotSoBigBen, DJR, RocknRolla and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
