  1. Did the 30km Wolseley MTB funride yesterday with the wife,was really frustrating at times as 'race pace' was slowed down to this.I am however stil proud of my wife,even though she had to push alot and I had to help push a bit and there were tears shed she managed to finish and overtake two other couples so as not to finish dead last.[emoji122]
  2. Thanks for all the info,stopped at this shop for a coke and also walked out with a jar of honey.
  3. I saw a few direction boards next to the road for cyclists and wondered what the trails beyond them were like.Where do you get the permits from?
  4. Took the 'kids' for a walk/ride tis afternoon.My son showing me how he "broke his ankle" when he took a tumble.Couldnt keep myself from laughing at this nonsense he came up with.[emoji23]
  5. I went for a ride with 2 mates this morning and decided to take the single speed to keep the pace down a bit.Later this afternoon I took the 'kids' for a walk/ride.
  6. Visited this area for the first time earlier this week fot work.Realy beautifull place,will definitly return someday to do some cycling.
  7. Did a 65km ride yesterday(no pics) and a 75km today,part of it with my wife and a couple of friends.We did some climbing.To what almost felt like the top of the world.
  8. Great stuff,awesome to have the little ones wanting to do what mom and dad does.My son also took to it like fish to water.Now you guys can start enjoying the trails together.[emoji106]
  9. Like this Crossmark/Icon combo,this would be my second choice,.First choise would be Saguaro back,Barzo front.
  10. A relaxed 35km ride with a couple of friends on local trails in the Rawsonville area.
  11. Permits and maps can be obtained from the Info Berau at the Spar centre or Saxon Lodge in town. There are 4 promoted routes in Gansbay of wich 3 consist mainly of beach front and district roads.This 4th "Funky Fynbos" route is actually known as The Flower Valley route,it consists of jeep track and alot of single track through beatifull fynbos. I'm not sure of the lenght of the route,but I'm sure Goosebay will have a link for you to their local info website. If you would like someone to ride with you,I will also be in Gansbay in December and I'm also planning on doing this route.
  12. We also checked out one of the campsites along the Breede River where it runs past Badsberg to see how strong the river was after the recent rains.
  13. Did a nice slow 65km to and around Badsberg yesterday with a mate and a short 22km this afternoon with the wife during #loadshedding,unfortunately no pictures of today as I finaly concored a certain bigish climb and almost lost a lung in the prosses.
  14. Went out for a chilled 50km ride yesterday.Today's ride unfortunatly got canselled on account of bad weather.
  15. I agree with Lurch,perfect excuse or N+1,not that you need an excuse.[emoji4]
  16. Joh,that is a really beutifull spray job[emoji106] .....but isnt it a copy of a Canyon?[emoji185]
  17. Did a ride to Stettyn dam again Yesterday with a few mates,we were a real heavy group.Was really proud of my one mate,it was his first time on a bike in 2 years and although he had to push up almost every hill he still managed to drag alk of his 160kg's up to the dam.Unfortunately he did get a rear puncture on the way down and we had to hike-a-bike for about 5km.
  18. Went riding around Badsberg and Slanghoek this morning on some of the Gravel & Grape trails.
  19. They are usually run as a back tyre with a more aggresive tread type in the front,but if youre not going for podium a Crossmark will be fine in front aswell.
  20. Lekker Uni,in 6 months time you will look back and wonder how you ever lived without tubeless.[emoji106]
  21. So much black with a splash of red......I really like.[emoji106]
  22. Did some riding in the Breede River Valley today.[emoji4] Took my wife and some close friends for a short ride today,was a really slow ride as this lot are all relative beginners.My mate trying to be supportive with his wife as it was her first time on a bicycle in 13years.We found the way she chose to wear her helmet very amusing,but she refused to be corrected....women......[emoji48]
  23. Went out this morning thinking the mist would clear up early.Could only see about 20 to 50m infront of me and was completely drenched and freezing cold after about 16km.
