swiss Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Did Groenkloof yesterday with one of the Bizhub Minolta Ladies, what a nice ride, got caught by the rain with 2km to go on first lap. Took a quick break (waiting for the rain to die down, and then head out on second lap. How slippery didn’t it get....legs full of scrapes.....and then the "little" stream crossing.... This was my first crossing of the "little" stream, and it was no stream any longer, it was a river and it was flowing. Being not a very sensible chap, I normally take on any obstacle (only to see my G@^)and this was no different. I judged the water to be about 40cm deep, but as soon as my front wheel disappeared and I flew across the handle bars (had some momentum.....actually a lot of momentum)I knew it was a tad deeper (waist deep ). I went swimming and my bike got swept away with the water Lost my Jawbones and my MTB credibility in the rescue attempt. The only thing my riding partner got to say was "I wish I had a video camera, this is something to share " But Groenkloof stays amazing !!!!!
Lamber Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I'm familiar with the 'little stream' at fountains- but where exactly is the one in Groenkloof?
LukeV-2 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I experinced the same thing, although i dont think it was as deep at the time. my partner behind me shouted "carful its deep" just before i went in, made it to the other side and alot of mud got cleaned off my bike! SCORE! haha was classic.
