Me rida my bicycle

@Rouxenator do you think it's time for a new one or good for a couple hundred km's still 😂 20250510_165032.mp4

New bike day, new mountain biker and his first tumble. He's got the most important part wright already, after the crash first question "is my bike okay" 😂

Nee dan klink jy reg vir ons span 🤣

Yes ja dit was 'n lekker jol, moet net nie kom om te wen nie 😂

Oak Valley 24 hour. Like usual we didn't listen (given this time you could not hear what they said) we did all our laps together so they count it as 1 lap for the team. I feel it's stupid but we never aimed to win just to have fun. We still had a jol and would do it together again. Hopefully next year they will have more than 4 💩 huisies and some showers would have been great.

Thank you, I am to inexperienced to know better and thought I rode Bloem wrong. Where Hoogies and Banhoek I do and feel much better on the jumps.

Same here that's why we keep losing the route when going there😁. There's also some great new (to us) trails 👌

A beautiful morning on Bottelary hills, not the first or last time we missed a turn or 2 and doing some extra climbing 😂 Pap tyres first needed to recharge with cold beer and pizza to make it home afterwards. 🍕🍻

Sorry only saw Chris reply didn't read the storie, was out on the trails. I know of a girl who is doing really good, podium most races. Started on a nice HT upgraded to a sweet dual xc race machine. She's back on the HT and doing better. Plus HT forces you to learn the correct techniques which will make him a better rider in future. Never mind the fortune you will save in keeping a dual going.

I will ad tyres on your HT makes a big difference. I have 3 sets 1 for everyday Gravel set (I still need to return to @ChrisF😁) I used for CTCT And my "fun" set for places like Jonkershoek.

Have a look at Hardtail Owners on Facebook, guys competing and doing great in even downhill. With my limited skills I have not encountered a trail I could not ride on my HT.

I'm running a xt cassette and chain with the last XX1 derailleur, works perfectly . Bigger question does your frame work with that derailleur? If you like fancy things I could see the point, I've just seen to many average Joe's just having issues with electronic shifting, I've even past Niño while he had issues with it 🤣 I like to go ride when the mood strikes not when the battery is charged 😁

Nope nooit nie 🤣 dit maak nog te seer as die mooi girls sê oom 😂

On a longer ride let's take CTCT for example my average HR was +-150 but on a shorter harder ride like laps of Banhoek it's over 160. I've seen my max at close to 200. I'm 18 with little over 23 years of experience 😁

Die MTB Cape Argus, Stellenbosch mtb challenge en Buffet olives. These where lekker fun rides and where cheap to enter.
