Brings back memories of a working holiday in SA

 

[Chubba]

We have few issues in Cape Town "South Africa", but the trails and beauty are pretty amazing. I get to ride these out my front door.

 

[Stihldog]

Ahh man, some of you EU guys are doomed.

It just started raining here.

I thought that was a typo and you meant knolly, which is/was a very good Mtb built in the Vancouver area. A few of my neighbours have them.
But unfortunately they went out of business recently.

First trip to Canberra with the new EMTB. Hit up the Centenary Trail.

BTW. I should be skiing these weekends. But 4 weeks into the ski season in Australia and it's not even cold enough to make enough snow to get a lift open. Very sad.

2nd go on the Levo, leaning on a treevo.

Lough Neagh, County Antrim. Ireland.

 

[RustyMTB]

Weird out there. Started off scorchio & got cooler the longer it went on.

From my last race:

 

[Zimmerframe]

Continuing my theme of really boring pictures. Just detoured on the way home to the climbing centre, because they sell Guinness.

Had to improvise a beer parasol.

As for brollys ..

How come In France a parasol is a parasol. In England it's a parasol.

A parachute is a parachute.

Add in some rain and a parapluie in English becomes an Umbrella !

Like WHY ? It doesn't even sound English !

Why isn't a parachute an Umbrairslow ? Or something ?

It's such a stupid word it gets instantly replaced in real world use with words like Brolly. Which in fairness also makes zero sense .

Ah yeah but it still has Latin roots like so much of English & French. Think of the word for shade in French it starts to make sense.
