Hi Everyone,
Nog ‘n week daarmee heen en die laaste paar dae was dit behoorlik winter weer. I personally couldn’t have wished for anything better.
Several took part in Saturdays’ 99’er and unfortunately young Wynand took a tumble after about 60ks. Nothing too serious I hope.
Not many pitched for the Saturday ride and quite frankly I don’t blame u. We were out doing the 4 passes and got caught in some pretty inclement weather between Fransieshoek and Stellenbosch. Thunder and lightning, pretty breezy and the rain bucketing down in places. “De le Rey” was with us and “Siener van Rensburg” predicted that we would have clear skies and sunshine on the Stellenbosch side and low and behold it was true. I could have done with De La Rey’s Wit Perd at that point in time. Bene was gaar! Wys jou net. Die man is in der daad menig maal in die kol.
Well Sunday’s turnout was pretty good considering. But alas the question remains to be answered. Does one in fact go and ride on the wet roads and inclement weather. I think at the last count we were at 11 punctures. Quite a costly exercise and much delay.
The Argus is nearing at a rapid rate of knots and its time to start thinking about your trusty Steed. Service Time. New tubes, tyres, cables and and and. Time to book your bike in with your preferred dealer.
We have had very little response re the planned Post Argus Braai. Pretty disappointing to say the least. I am approached by several concerning this and in the past it’s always been great, but what the heck one can only try.
Once again a reminder to all—safety is our first priority, so please lights!!
