Great turn out.

 

Really hot and muddy ride. Turned out to be a great training ride.

 

I think we just missed out on a few fun technical bits. Next time im sure we will do those.

[missionS]

A big shout out to MONS for making sure everyone is having fun and S.I.R Maxxis for organizing this

Thanks to all that came out and got a bit dirty

I for one had a blast and will definitely be going out more that way as the old Boschkop track needs some more exploration

Hey guys, just want to say thanks to everyone who had a hand in getting the ride to happen. I had such a lekker time out with you guys! Hot and muddy, but we still ended it with a smile!

In the 4th photo above my chain got sucked (was so dry after being caked with mud) and jammed which left me in a very uncomfortable position for the small drop off. That drop and stairs did loosen it up but then I nearly ran into the back of missionS who was having a bit of trouble fitting his bars through the second door in the ruins... at speed.

Dude, let us know what you find. Apparently we went past some other technical spot with northshore type drop offs.

 

Did you have an issue with your wheel? We didn't see you much after that and apparently you damaged something...

Will definitely be heading out there again this coming weekend to see what I can find

 

My apologies for leaving the pack behind but I had to put the power down as I had certain "obligations" that needed to be honoured

Issue with wheel?

[RockCoach]

Yeah, was a mud blast.

 

SIR M and I went through a particular puddle at speed and got really muddy an wet.

[RockCoach]

Issue with wheel?

 

Just what we were told. Obviously not.

Had to! That mud was brutal!

That particular puddle turned out to be more wet than muddy.

Thanks to all, really enjoyed it, mud and all.

 

MONS, when can we do the next one?

[missionS]

Just what we were told. Obviously not.

 

My bike is a tank especially with 2kg's of mud caked onto it

The only issue I had was trying to pedal up those hills on my way home. My legs were jelly

Yeah. I wondered about what could have broken. A freeride bike on a road ride. It is usually the road that breaks first.
