[Puffy encounter]

I just had an encounter this morning with a black mamba at giba up the blue route to the quarry. I had to throw bike forward at him and run. very very aggressive. I need new Bib shorts now.

check out the DELONGI MAGNIFICA on taka lot its 8799 normally about 10500. excellent value and quality. I have 4 machines and thus is the best by far.

I have a frame that looks very similar, I think it's a mid to late 80s Mondiale slx.

 

But, I don't know anyone that has one.

[giba gorge]

so how was the ride

[giba gorge]

if you follow duane stander or Jacques fouche on strava you will find the route into to giba. Is it only in the evenings when you are able to ride even on weekends. Have you had a chat with Giba Gorge they are very accommodating and supportive in getting everyone to ride. If you want to chat send me a pm and I will give you a call.

[giba gorge]

There are always people riding from Oscars and u don't have to drive to giba. Ive been a member of GIba for many many years and I cannot remember when last I have driven to GIBA. I ride from foresthills via waterfall/ hillcrest to giba and surrounds(shongweni/summerveld) and the ride back out of GIBA is a great workout. On a sat and sunday morning you will struggle to get parking at Oscars for all the mtb riders. The waterfall xc track has also just recently been cleaned by Concept store waterfall and is very nice and safe riding as well. (100% single track with approx. 125m of climbing per lap and approx. 4.5km in distance and free)They also do rides every Saturday morning from the shop to giba, give them a call

[giba gorge]

Thanks RR. Will give them a call, might not be able to be there at 4.

park at the dirt road near hillcrest entrance to giba and ride in and out from there. Most mtb riders meet at Oscars in hillcrest and do some shongweni/summerveld routes and drop in the back of giba, ride the giba trails and ride back out to hillcrest to get a 50km ride

[Kulula ?????]

I flew from jhb to Durban with SAA yesterday. At collection point in Durban there where two other bike boxes to be collected. All three boxes had been broken open luckily nothing was missing from mine as I did not include anything extra. not sure about the other unlucky souls
