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.

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.

Not cool dude. Sorry to hear! Will miss seeing on our afternoon rides. Heal up soon ok! M

Love my Scott too. Got my new Contessa a week before W2W last year and enjoyed trouble free cycling ever since.

Thanks for the info. Always wanted to give the trails a try, heard Cascades is awesome too. Also with the racing on Saturday thought it be a bit busy. We are doing the marathon on Sunday only. Will check it out. Don't get down there too often so trying to make the most of the trip.
