GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Well I might stop for a kafee mit gipfeli and with some luck I'll have a view of the snow covered Alps thrown in.... Fair enough, I cant beat that so I'll just say I hope it rains....hard, maybe a bit of snow as well.
Christopher Brunsdon Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 If you wake up tomorrow and it is raining (Which it will be in most of the country if you believe Simon Gear)and you still do a long ride does that mean you are hardcore or just plain stupid? Sounds like me on 2nd Jan this year - I think its just normal. Heck, I commute to work in the Cape Winter regardless of the precipitation levels, so its normal.
SwissVan Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Fair enough, I cant beat that so I'll just say I hope it rains....hard, maybe a bit of snow as well. Well I'll try better you and hope that Eskom start load shedding in your area 2 morrow Enjoy

No it means either you are a mechanic or have a lot of money to spend on parts and service.
Guest agteros Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Hardcore or Stupid? James Cunnama It's raining. So Jodie on the turbo... Normal. Outside, in the rain... Not normal. Normal doesn't win Ironman! http://yfrog.com/h8xublj
cat-i Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Stupid would be to take your MTB, ride from Jhb down Hekpoort, up and over Breedtsnek to the shebeen, and back, going up Breedtsnek, up Hekpoort to get home.... Something I somehow still want to do... it is just the training and the riding time...hat you doing next weekend?w
cat-i Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I went riding in the rain this morning and thought nothing of it. So neither.Should have seen the smile on my face though. GTR there's just something about riding in the rain, hey? i wouldn't willingly go out if it's raining ... but sometimes i'm at work with only the bike to et home - or get caught in the rain while out. maybe it's cos you have the track all to yourself. or car-drivers can't believe what they see, so they cutrteous or just the clean washed air that you breathe
Zeps Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 We don't go out if it's raining but if it happens to rain while we out well that's just fine Rode at every possible opportunity this week just in case ..... 7 hours done so if no riding the weekend it isn't the end of the world
'Dale Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Enjoy and remember to be visible.Plus One!
TNT1 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 7 hours done That's like a day and maybe a half's worth of training. Slacker.
