Waiting for the weekend like... πŸ“·: @fadeelahk Waiting for the weekend like... 

πŸ“·: @fadeelahk
LONG POST ALERT (not about a bicycle) A ride that LONG POST ALERT (not about a bicycle)

A ride that almost didn't happen. My riding buddy cancelled, and then on the way to town it was pissing with rain. A wattbike session seemed like an alternative, but when I got to town it had stopped. With rain clouds still hovering as heavy as my heart, I didn't know if it was about to clear or about to burst. But the state I was in needed some outdoor therapy, even if it was solo, maybe especially solo.

COVID took someone very dear to me yesterday. Someone who taught me so much about myself and how to handle situations, in the hardest way possible, and without him knowing it. He often showed the world a very different view of who he really was, a hard exterior that you do not easily break through, and that would often cause friction in the work that we did. You had to work hard to penetrate that shell, but if you put in the effort to do so, the most golden and soft interior emerges which not everyone got to see. Often tumultuous at the start, I did put in that effort, and we built a relationship so full of trust, of mutual respect and understanding, that we became real friends in the most unique way. The last 6 months in particular were so incredibly special. While working to save the Province from the disease which would ultimately take his life, we shared incredibly special moments and conversations that I will treasure for the rest of my life. And it meant so much more because so much around us was just so sucky and tough! Who knew that those would be the final few months of your life 😭

Rest In Peace my friend. The space will NEVER be the same without you. A piece of my heart lies empty, but I will carry you in it always.

Life is too short to not go for that ride, so what if the rain comes down? Dance in the rain because tomorrow is not promised.

It's day 1 of 2021 work year and already it has th It's day 1 of 2021 work year and already it has thrown a few curveballs. Just had to zone out a bit to make a late breakfast of a cacao pancake stack. Mixed up a drizzle of tahini and almond butter to go with the side of berries.

The cacao powder is from the new @wazoogles superfood range πŸ‘ŒπŸΌπŸ¦„

Recipe:
1 banana (mashed)
2 eggs (beaten) 
1-2 heaped Tbsp flour (any - I used coconut flour for this, also oat flour sometimes)
2 tsp cacao powder (optional)
Mix all ingredients with a spoon and fry in a tiny bit of oil (I use coconut oil).

Leave out the cacao powder if you don't want it chocolatey. Or stir in whole blueberries for an amazing blueberry pancake. The blueberries soften up in the pan and release their sauces into the rest of the pancake.

#appreciationpost One of the greatest gifts 2020 #appreciationpost 
One of the greatest gifts 2020 has given me has been cycling with @fadeelahk πŸš΄πŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ₯°

When she started cycling many years ago I vehemently refused to (I was a runner and not interested in cycling) and I watched and supported from the sidelines. Then she stopped and a few years later I started triathlon which meant I now *had* to ride. Cycling became a major part of my training and my life, even more so because I was not great at it (in fact #roggiethestrugglingcyclist was really bad at it) and had to work super hard to be able to finish an Ironman 70.3 and later, a full Ironman. At the point she was not interested and watched and supported from the sidelines.

Come 2020, lockdown, and indoor cycling on a trainer became both of our go-to to keep some form of cardio fitness. And once we were allowed out Fadeelah started becoming a super serious cyclist thanks to @ladies_cycling_squad. Now our weekend rides are a regular occurence and I love it so much. Life behind bars is always better with a friend 😊

Today's ride was so lekker (and so tough!). 6 major hills and 80km in the bag in the heat. Bonus cherries on top was unexpectedly running into @wasfie_adams and @aashiek and @raees_d, and newbie cyclist @ibtisaamv starting with us. @ghouwah_emandien was yster as usual 😁
