Just saying....

Another useful for bibs...when its muddy, gravel cannot get down your back to your delicate region to create a grinding paste the likes of which you will never forget...😔

Dramatic Jonkers!!! I think? Great pic!

Shorts over bibs, no extra protection but nods of approval for the MTB community, cause they won't see the bibs!🤣 Edit, can't quite make out if you already got knee/elbow pads...but anyway...2cents: There a wide choice of good knee pads...Fox/ION/POC, try to get the zippered ones, they great for putting on and taking off without removing your shoe...stay away from G-Forms and their useless gel pads...junk and don't work Elbow pads...hmmm...ja, if you insist make sure they fit snug and don't slide down like 99% of them do given that you riding a bicycle down a bumpy gravel track...most irritating...choose well

Highway racing...TDF L'ETAPE - Dubai edition

Desert winter rides and a not very happy beach radar!

Definitely not allowed on any greenbelt trail, be it bicycle, walking, hiking, horse-riding trails but let us know exactly where this happened, so users can be warned to lookout for repeat offenders.

Spectacular morning with the kids on Clarence Drive....

Shaking off the pudding....

Magura Blue Blood (as rare as hen's lips and usually requires a trip to the French Alps for re-supply) is same as Shimano mineral fluid, just different dye added...but same same...

Kale Bay Salt coffee run.

BTW, if you thinking of road riding, the most popular route is round the "wild side" along Marine Drive from Summerstrand thru to Schoenies via Willows and out at Walmer. There are some challenges though: The start at Summerstrand will be littered with glass from revellers as you leave Summerstrand at the start of Marine Drive just past the turning to the Uni.... The Walmer exit of this route is proper dodge so make sure you don't go all the way up Victoria Road from Schoenies to the junction with 10th Avenue and Heugh Road...rather turn off at the Glendore Road and ride through Pari Park up to Buffelsfontein Road. Another route is from the above Buffelsfontein Road down to Seaview and Maitlands River Mouth and back road via Coleen Glen. Best contact one of the local bike shops to hook up for a mass ride...Wayne Pfeiffer has a shop in Humewood, or call Action Cycles Heugh Road

Not strictly gravel but...as you say, given enough motivation...

Winding down the year.....

Ride Dubai....
