The Guy in Pink Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) This morning’s ride : Start 4:52 Am, distance 24.9 Km, Duration 1 hr 53min, Total ascent 676 metre , some nice single-track through indigenous forest, the rest jeep track ( Apart from home to the forest gate 2.5km). On the entire route in the forest we saw no one else. That was a good start to the day. Edited December 9, 2011 by The Guy in Pink

The expat cyclist Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 4:52AM??? That is like EARLY. Now that impresses me!
The Guy in Pink Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 I finished off the day yesterday with another ride in the forest, this time with Hardus as a partner.We took a different route and much of the descent was single track through indigenious bush.It was late by the time we hit the singletrack so it was dark and we needed our lights to see the track. Start time : 17h30 Distance 21.5kmTime 1h39 Total ascent 577m This forest has so many paths , although I have ridden in it many times I still find new routes. The beauty on it is I can be in the forest within 5 minutes from leaving home.
javadude Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Thats a beautiful part of the world. In standard 5(going back a few years) we had our veldschool at Schoemansdal. I clearly remember Hanglip and spending a couple of nights on the mountain.

It's Ideal accommadation for teams, and Stage 3 finishes there. The Headman on the Veldschool is a Mountain Bike Fundi who knows these mountains like the back of his hand. He lays out some very intersting courses for the Kermetart MTB races on the Sunday after the Kremetart.

Not going to miss it next year.

I'm on leave and making the most of being home. I ride most days when I am at work but I ride alone and although the area where I'm working (Eastern DRC) is extremely mountainous there are no trees and no rideable paths and trails. The Kremetart has a magic formula. A planning discussion will be held this week end for 2012.
