Sneaky Goukamma long weekend. Fishing so far unsuccessful. Garden Route so far great 😎

Disa mission. I’m shattered! Thanks @jess_blumenthal 🥵

Scala Battery climb outside Simon’s Town. Peppered with shady characters, sand-blown hairpins, gradients of death and views galore 📈

Bikes + summer = 🥰

👋 @jess_blumenthal 😘 Throwback to a glorious Palmiet River swim on new year’s eve in Kogelberg Nature Reserve 🌿

Belated New Years post - we spent three days in Kogelberg Nature Reserve, away from LTE, 4G and most other humans and their noise and chaos. I will happily spend New Years here again, every year, for the rest of my life.

See @jess_blumenthal’s post for the grateful list. I’ll add rainbows, because this one was absolutely amazing. Merry Christmas everyone.

Bike and swim with @tinkminster in Kogelberg Nature Reserve. All the superlatives apply.

Lock ‘n load ☀️ 🏖 ⛰

Damp mountain in December, steel bike. Happiness level high. Thanks @mr_anderson1978 📸

Followed swiftly by a weekend trip to Joburg to see what @jess_blumenthal gets up to when she visits the 011. Great to see @owencook100, @timdunnett88 and @ems_whiting, albeit briefly. Spot the Christmas present under the tree...

Better late than never - Elliot’s awesome Tour de Park birthday party last week. Some guy asked if I was doing kids’ cycling lessons in the park. He wanted to sign up his son 😂 Thanks to everyone for coming.

For his seventh birthday party, Elliot wants to do a cycle tour with his friends. Having been to enough Tour of Aras and Eroicas, he knows the drill: each rider must get a bike sticker with his race number, and a map that must be stamped when each stage is completed. Sorry Stan, for shamelessly appropriating all of that, plus your legendary @tourofara brush script (or a poor copy) but that was my brief. ToA might be over, but here comes TdP...

@olimunnik with the salami stick power at the start of today’s @cable_station_hill_climb. Thanks @jerotz and @mother_amateur_bicycling_club - the blood in the back of the throat is always worth it.

Grade one. Nailed it. (With a little help from his village.)

🐆 and 🐈 and @jess_blumenthal hiding from the south-easter

Chappies cloud show on Italian steel. Sunday done right.

Wines2Whales Pinotage - three days of unforgettable mud, hills and overflowing everything. I have new respect for anyone who actually competes at the sharp end of these races. Thank you @mr_anderson1978 for the opportunity. Memories, bru!
