You def don’t like their bikes - you put me off one off them recently ????

My trailpark (I do like saying that) has seaviews. And I bought here 6 years ago. I had two vintage Porsches which cost 300 each (midlife crises and a big loss) Then 911's starting booming. In 2 years I sold them and paid for this land which had an old cr@ppy farmhouse and then built my own offgrid timber house. The cost at the time was a 1 bedroom seapoint flat with no views I can see the mountain and the sea I miss my 911's but did I mention I have a bike park in my yard (well will have soon) Pack your bags, the Garden Route rocks

Fortunate to have made the decision to live in an area where a house on 3 hectares costs less than a 2 bedroom Seapoint flat

how do you get piles eating veggies? - surely they come out squishy

That bike makes me want to go adventuring

I don't consider myself to have a lot of luck per se but this is looking like I have struck gold I know Rob who owns the Garden Route Trail Park but we aren't buddies. Rather we have a mutual good mate who said just give Rob a call and ask him to build you a trail. I was too scared of rejection so I whatsapped him and he asked me for a location pin. He google earthed it and then came and walked it telling me his plans. Clueless I just agreed, I mean WTF do I know? The lucky part is Rob like machines like we like bikes and he just got a new custom made trail cutter bit he was itching to test and so he's arrived on site a week early and digging away. hasn't taken a coffee or tea break. It already has berms and flow. He will bring some guys at the end to compact it and shape it - I have to build the bridge over one of my fences and that will be my sole contribution (and cash but no where near what you'd think for this sort of thing) I have my new MTB waiting for its maiden voyage and I've decided no place like home to break it in.

yes and no - It will take a week or two. You should be able to ride it on your gravel bike though so a sprint up the hill, a few laps and then roll back down for a few well earned beers and a braai at your site

a mini trail park

also beautiful - I remember Sanfransico had one for sale for ages on the Hub. I was very proud of myself for not buying it but now I'm thinking it was a missed opportunity

that price seems brutal - beautiful bike

that is a sexy bike

I'm coming with

Original Magnum was of it's time. The 308 Gtsi was a thing of beauty. I've driven one, really difficult, not fast and you wouldn't want it to be because the brakes on my Colnago of the same era are better. But I don't think I've ever felt cooler. I loved it. Magnum was cool New Magnum is also a product of it's time. PC casting, gender neutral and no Tom Selleck who is Magnum. Call me out for objectifying, but I think new Higgins is smoking. But it's drivel My 11 year old daughter loves it

Those raw alu Pygas have legit carpark cred

get in touch with Hilton at Pyga pretty sure he'll make a plan - the guys at Pyga are super passionate and super helpful numbers on their website

yes, whites road, a beautiful climb above Wilderness and then the steel bridge near Hoekwil on the 7 passes road

Had a friend with very good taste come up from CT and ride with me for 2 days - decent mileage, too many beers

There is an older lady in st Francis who has one - she was annoying before she got the motorized board

SUPs are not fine - unless you can actually surf a normal board and are mindful and respectful that you a danger to others - many many many of these former mountain biker former golfers who partake have insufficient ocean knowledge A SUP is a bit like an ebike on a pump track

Garden Route Glory this morning 63km 1002 elevation and I've earned a beer

Snow views on Thursday

wow!

Pre back trouble and when we lived in Cape St Francis and surfed every day, I didn't need to be told to relax

strategic placement of weights, some hub skullduggery and you're all set

I have one of these - doesn't get the riding but will regulary ask me when I'm going for a ride which translates to, "you are being annoying, look tense and need to go and burn that sh*t off"
