I would do my nut if a camera car constantly kicked up dust in front of me!🤨 Edit oh wait, I would be near the back, no camera cars!🤣

How are these routes in June/July? Da Doer Gannaga Middlepos Halfway to Suntherland, just after Kompromise, right, then down Ouberg Pass Da Doer

Horse didn't have a name cause he was disguised as a bokkie and couldn't imitate the necessary falsetto so remained shtum...

Yip, there were 2, one on either side of the road....I stopped to take some pics and they were dead still just staring at one another across the track, then the one took off, just made it across in front of that gang....joined its mate and they both trotted off in to the desert...

Through the desert....

Only in Dubai....!

Sunset cruz after the daily melt....

Thanks...temps...HA!!! A devilish HOT FRONT hit the area the day we started...Day 1 by 09h00 it was 30! By 12, we had to shelter under a bush for 2hrs...maxxed out at 48!!! Day 2 was a bit cooler but still well over 35! Day 3 and 4 was predicted to remain in the upper 30's....I ride to enjoy, not to endure...we pulled the plug ....... Arnie once said... I'll be back!

road is fine, a bit bumpy with corrugations but there were plenty of "small" cars in the area a few weeks back...

the report was "cyclists in areas that have been closed off due to fire damage. The public is urged to comply with all trail closures to ensure their safety" https://www.facebook.com/TableMountainNP

Looks like a major co-ordinated response to this! Lots of community support for the guys on the fire-line which is a really scary place to be.... However, there are reports of cyclists on trails that have been shut down....why?! Thrill seekers, youtubers? whatever...if there is anyone on the Hub who was part of this...the guys fighting fires have a dangerous enough job, don't put them in more danger by them having to come rescue you! Jeez man, this is a major catastrophe and they don't need rubber-neckers getting in the way....

Maybe I'm just naive but someone please tell me what is there is to gain by deliberately set fire to such an area? It's not the first time this has been suspected...

Looks like Tokai and the entire Constantiaberg area is on fire😔

If you have concern's about heart rates, fitness etc etc, please see a doctor......

A great day on the bike...!

ditto....

Shoei...what a day!...Hero gravel, except for the beach in the valley just before the first watering station! Cramps at the last climb...that's becoming a thing now!!!🫤 Time not so great but a jol with SIL! Oh...forgot...Insta360 jumped out its pocket at the quarry/railway DH...thanks to the marshall there for picking it up and add 3k's to the Filthy Fondo to go back and get it! One lens poked but still covered with the other one!

We can only dream!

Hold thumbs...I'm in town for a change and have entered...weather better hold! Last time I entered a gravel race....😔

🤣 it's about celebrating the downhill!!

Cederberg Interrupted...... 4 day trip "re-managed" due to to extreme heat...but always an enjoyable experience!

Cederberg with SIL.... it was hawttt!!!

Sunrise silhouette....

Reviews...when first released so buyer beware...but if it has been updatede to match Garmin/Wahoo/Hammerhead, then battery life is a winner

Panaracer GK SK+ 50mm tan....good all round for mix of firm gravel and tar, slips a bit when presented with the steeps with marbles! 3.5bar on most terrain for me is good with no s/wall roll in the corners
