They say that home is where your heart is. My adventure heart is home here on the trail we call Freedom

@francis_nkosi @nickhedley You nailed it, “most of our ppl aren't thinking voters...”. This is the fatal flaw of democracy.

@CiroDeSiena Your story doesn’t strike me as being accurate. 2 working traffic lights? Really? You’re exaggerating.

@curiosityonx What took so long?

@fasc1nate Hot shower. Doesn’t matter what kind of day you’ve had, it always soothes.

@nickhedley @MrMbosh I’ve seen a big upswing in bike commuting where I stay. Taxi fares, driven by cost of fuel, is making cycling an option for many. But bike safely, especially in morning traffic where every inch of tar and dirt has become fair play for cars, is a problem.

@nickhedley @GaylorTIPS Annualised it’s north of 2GW of energy that’s going to be installed. If a chunk of that is destined for domestic use it’s going to go a long way to drawing down the peak demand we see early morning and evening. Give it another 2 or 3 years and it’ll be significant.

@BrentLindeque If you don’t have a device to measure spaghetti to get the portion size right use a wedding band. I have skinny fingers as a result of being lithe. A wedding ring portion is exactly right for. Stubby fingers means you could probably do with a little more.

@PhutaLiyenzeka @OilTycoonMoney @AdvoBarryRoux Very cool. 👏

Pressing ahead into the unknown can be daunting when the certainty and comfort of what’s behind us beckons. Adventure often brings discomfort. That discomfort spawns growth. Was an exciting day trudging up the mountain. https://t.co/n7cU7OwqV5

To suggest that Lael’s achievement was predicated on her using “a 2.6 Specialized Purgatory tire up front” is like crediting Leonardo da Vinci’s choice of painting knives for his art.

https://t.co/uuHoLFqS8O My body was tired but I've come to realise that it's a serial liar—always wanting to stop, always wanting to sleep.

Adventures of an Ordinary Cyclist: The Accidental Single Speeder - Race to Cradock Part 6 The question that haunts every endurance athlete surfaced, “Why are you doing this?” In that moment the only response I had was, “I don’t know.” https://t.co/WqsSaFcrhv
