Hi there I am a novice. Got a Scott Aspect 910, which is a much better bike than what I am a rider. Enjoy riding on my own. Like open gravel roads. Hate single tracks. Have not done a race (is that what it is called?), not sure if I want to. But Riding The Karoo seems lekker. Claim to fame: I rode from Swartberg mountain top to The Hell. I never pushed the Scott. Made it all the way to Boplaas at the end of the valley. There is no shame (for me) in using granny gear. Thanks for all the advice that I pick up here.
