Unpublished Post from Durban

Finally back in the saddle after about 5 days in Durban purchasing a new phone and syncing my devices together to make my uploading more streamlined , there is always something to learn but after alot  of learning I am pretty happy with my setup I cant say too much about  a particular  subject to do with uploading files but thankyou to the guys who helped me through the process . This new samsung galaxy note 2 is a phenomenal piece of  technology  I can now watch  all my  gopro footage ,edit and upload  my data to Strava and link everything together so stoked hopefully this will save time and make things easier. I had a head wind for most of the day which was a good battle through the sugar and gumtree growing  areas , everthing worked well apart from the battery connection to the dynamo, it must have come loose so I didnt store that much power but the solar panels saved the day and worked well with my spare cache battery , I have to say that my expectations for the solar were not that great  but I was proved wrong  - the other thing was my bluetooth headset decided not to work hopefully I can get that going , so it was just  me and my thoughts vs the road and the headwind  back to basics. Beautiful weather and plenty of greenery bike was well tuned , went through 8-10 litres of water with a berocca with some electrolytes - always a good combo  , anyway what was so cool about today was that I  Pulled into this road house to have a feed then I was going to find a place to camp but instead Troy introduced himself and said I could stay at his place - what   a top man! Thankyou Lord  !!  Had a cold bath Troy steamed up some chicken breast and fresh avocado on the side  and taught me APAP  Aware- Psychology -Avoid- Physical ; ways to avoid conflict -  going to have to start taking malaria pills tomorrow will see how that goes  Valentines day tomorow  up early and into it !

  1. So how did Valentines Day work out for you? Received any clouds filled with rose petals?? Glad you are meeting all these awesome people AS WELL! Saw you have changed your blog a bit - fixed up some of those boo boo's. Does that mean I have to go and update my comments?? Take it easy on those malaria pills - sometimes they dont really agree with everyone! Try get some citronella soap AS WELL! Hope you get your headset sorted out soon - definitely dont want you to loose track of riding and think you are the next AMERICAN IDOL or something like that! xx Belinda
