Northcliff Cycles have some on their website.

Was also dive bombed on Saturday - once on the way up the river trail and twice on the way down. Felt like a chicken landed on my helmet. On the way down, I saw them after they hit me, two large grey/black birds.

Thanks for the advice. Will do!

I have recently immigrated to the Cape from Joburg. Staying in Durbanville and see some cyclists riding along the green belt that runs through the area (R302, Lubbe Street, M15 I think). The locals probably have a name for it but only been here a few days so not sure. I would like to ride it in the afternoons after work. Is it safe to ride alone? Any group rides that happen? Thanks!

Out at Howick / Karkloof the other day exploring the trails. It was real hot. Came across a trail with a name board 'Puff adder trail'. Looked cool so headed off over the rocks. Few meters down the trail my imagination got the better of me. Thinking there must have been a reason what they called it that. Turned around and headed back but every piece of bark, stick or log thereafter looked dodge.

Personally, I am not sure that I would enjoy the company of a bunch of girls for 3 days. I like having guys around (and they provide eye candy)... Then also some of these ladies are tough ladies. Not sure if it is aimed at the novice rider best you mind your cycling manners around some of these girls.

The permanent underpass under Linden Road is starting to take shape and for that I am truly grateful. Seems like some serious engineering has gone into this. Thanks Hollard / JUMA.

I wish wish wish......

Always wanted legs like Kevin's - proper!

Sutherland recently. SALT Telescopes in the background (next post, still getting the hang of this).

I did the event at B'sorah yestetrday. So much of fun! Adds a new dimension to riding your mountain bike. Don't underestimate finding routes to points, not as easy as it would seem though. The trails at B'sorah are suitably challenging as well.
