Whale Sighting!
As D2D nears, the training intensifies for Team B.O. Well OK, maybe just for some of dem... Point is, since not everyBOdy wanna lide the fast and furious, most have opted to lide the SS version whilst the Goat and Papa only lides the LH version. But den, the SS gets Lolly, Donkey, RoBOcop, Tallie, Taggie, Lani and the BObbie whilst the LH just feels... lonely... No matter, Goat went to the aquarium and fetched heemself sum Whale... Whale: (protesting) No, no, I don't do cold, wet, wind, dark or long and without food at the end. Goat: (suspicious) BObbie? BObbie: (you got me) OK, so I am LOOKing like a whale now... but you know, things could improve. Goat: (profanity) Whale, ju must come. Whale: (shaking his head) No, no, I no come long time. Papa: (on a rampage) Either ju come on your own or I come and make you come!!! Whale: (scared) OK, OK, I am coming... Meanwhile, on the SS side... Donkey: (I am a shark supporter I am) B.O., RoBOcop and I are Shark supporter...
All for One and Nothing for You...
And the end of winter nears... So is the infamous D2D, a race held when spring opens, when most of us are still hibernating, when you body are still bulking up to keep warm, when you think couching is an exercise, when you are actually watching reality TV, when you actually eating 5 meals a day in double portion, when you use and swallow words like Lays, KFC, MickeyD and when you absolutely are not prepared. Well, here at Team B.O., we never do anything prepared... Anyway... It's been a rather tame winter and teamies decided to brave the warm and start their training early. Serious preparations is required. Donkey fearing he will loose the animal within, decided to invest in a brand spanking new pair of Bontragers (Ed. note: yep, arms race is now hitting accessories...) . Team B.O. Stylist: (thank lord) Now that you have ditched the mountain bike cleats for Speedplay and Bontragers, let's do something about that helmet and that Camelbak? Donkey: (how dare you) I am...

LOOK Pic, Chewn a Story - Some kind of Race Report, M2M.
Well, technically, it's not very mountain to mountain, more like mountain to a school in Tzaneen. But who wants to go back to school, so we climb a mountain... 10km of it... 5% gradient of it... switchback and all... Regardless, if there is a mountain, it must be tire marked by the B.O.'s... Lani, Goat, Dev 1, Papa and Katy decided to go mark our territory. And whilst Goat, Dev 1 and Katy were passing by BObbie's, they went in and just grabbed him. Because it's always fun to have the BObbie... Well, actually, BObbie is the best in towing... (Ed. note: a result of the smash and grab was that Tallie, Taggie & Pluggie couldn't find the BObbie for breakie. Foul languages were used.) Anyway, Lani and family met up with Papa a day early in what actually was a barn in the middle of nowhere (OK, so the nowhere was in Magoebaskloef) that was remodeled into a modern, cozy, artistic and twisted open plain bathroom!!! Papa and the BObabies immediately find comf...
