I got some praise for the last gig we did

The amazing ThinkBike marshals

Apart from my new found appreciation for the people who organise and manage events, I now have the utmost respect and admiration for the ThinkBike motorbike marshals that escort us riders during road race events. Previously, I'd always considered them to be bullies, patrolling the white line like vicious guard dogs with no understanding of the dynamics involved in racing bicycles. Working with them to ensure the safety of the cyclists opened my eyes to the role they perform, and the professionalism with which they do it. And while they might look like big scary bikers on big scary bikes, off the bikes they're a fantastic bunch of people with a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to managing and anticipating the sheer random nature of motorists on South African roads - all in the name of safety for us cyclists. It takes guts to stand in front of an irate motorist at an intersection who will be inconvenienced in her Sunday morning shopping quest. It took quite an adjustment on my drive home to actually have to think about the traffic around me - such was the job that they did.

It's 7pm, Friday night, tunes are going and I just cracked a Mickey's Fine Malt Liquor (I just love this little barrel wide-mouth bottles and you get a puzzle under the cap too!)

Played cards with a couple of buddies tonight. One of them is a professional dealer, and he was training his two brothers to start working part time as a dealer in a local mobile place.

Would putting weather sealer work or do you think it has to be stain?

Either way would work. As long as it soaks into the fence it should stop the mildew from coming back.
