The Bigwig taking in the view after a lekker ride to the sea

Recce for an upcoming race, the Great Kei Trek. Windmills Roads roads krantzes and a beer or more. I was planning on riding a bit more but my watch died, and as we all know, if it's not on Strava it didn't happen. So I had another beer instead and phoned for a lift Edit and a zebra or 2 or more Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Bass fishing is always fun, regardless of tackle. More so with flies though.

Saturday was the Kempston's Thomas River MTB Challenge. The route has been taken over by 2 keen mtb'ers for the last few years, and this years route was the best ever. Perfect mix of gravel, jeep track and single track. JG and Erik have an awesome route. I did the 60km, which turned out to be 57km. Photos courtesy of Janine Cotterrell and others Some of the singletrack, it was soo much fun JG's bridge over the Thomas River The little wall, my china :clap: Into the donga's Erik's bike and his bridge, very rustic, but it works A few views One of my bike The one waterpoint that I was scared of, at 1/2 way, they had a punch, that I didn't have, but Erik the trailbuilder had a few shots, and he said it made his lips numb , the wattle cutters waterpoint and the post wouldn't be complete with some of the prizes and Saterday lunch

Club weekend in the wild coast, lots of beers were drunk and major *** spoken. Great fun. Moonrise over the Seagulls Hotel pub at Qolorha mouth Some disinterested locals Upper reaches of the Kei river estuary Lunch and beers at the Gxara Falls, it was the first time I've been here, despite walking and riding up the Wild coast for many many years, and it's only a few km from the Kei River And of course it all ends at the Shebeen Sunday ride I was lazy, and only took one pic, overlooking the Kobonqaba river.

To the wild coast for a club weekend. Well my car brought me this far. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Thanks Warthog. I'm 4th generation on this farm! I know how lucky I am that my dad planted trees Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

My entry is in , I'll have to attend our farmers association dinner the night before, then go straight to the start , makes for an interesting ride

It's wonderful Dale, even the gravel roads are quiet, and the drivers are cool. They give you space.

Mine's in, can't wait, but first the Club weekend :clap: (no beer emoji?)

I needed time in the saddle, I've got a ride planned and need to be fit enough to ride it, which is very lacking. Took the steel beast for a trundle into the mountain View of The Hogs from the Dontsa loop of the Amatola Hiking Trail High up in the mountain overlooking Gubu Dam and the AFC forests to Mt Kemp Keiskammahoek in the distance Stutterheim to the other side and the obligatory bike pic in the forest near the bottom

My mom and dad planted this oak tree when they got back from honeymoon, 55 years ago and whats great is that my dad is still around to thank him

And thats fast. 3 months to get mine.

Riding 34x18 at the mo. We'll see how my knees hold up tomorrow. Doing a long ride into the Amatolas

Try OH Sales in West Bank. My new fav tool shop. They have been able to source some metal working hand tools that I've been struggling to find for ages.

Oh yes Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

My wife made this for us on Sunday yum

Karoo mutton. And white meat. Fanie mate, we need to talk. Are you going to Seagulls? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I've used them too. Some serious clamping power there. Also use some scrap long pieces to hold the pieces flat, the wood can bow Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Bloody hell, how to bugger up that delicious taste in one go. No captain, just no, sacrilege. I only use mutton, not supermarket rubbish, ( okay so it's homegrown, and I have total control) Get mutton from the butcher, ask him/her to hang it for a week or more, this will add to the cost, but it is so tasty, that all you need to season it with is salt. I can just feel the fat running down my chin, now I'm hungry. And the fat must be thick. Hell I feel so strongly about it that I've raided a mates facebook page. This is what farmers braai and I had to edit out the faces, but not the beer bellies edit: anyone that's been to the Henderson MTB race would be able to match belly to face

Just got an old RS revo air back from Riaan Rousouw. He painted it blue for me. It looks amazing. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Love mine on full length grips. Where I've had to cut them, on gripshifts, they move Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Sash clamps are so versatile. I've got a bunch that belonged to my grandfather. Ive got a ton of offcuts. So many that we're going to make pallets. Ms me. Maybe we can make a plan. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
