Picnic on your own again?

Ho, ho, I can see I won't get away from that one! Work from home by Delta Park.

It is overcast but hasn't rained for more than 90 minutes. It has been quite windy for the last 20 minutes or so. I can see blue sky up towards Emmerentia.

 

Nothing to stop me from riding.

Ok, I'm coming that way in any case, even if it storms, it will eventually pass.

Is there any plans for a ride next Wed? I'm a sort off novice and would like to give the Spruit a try..

 

There will definitely be.

Keep your eyes on the hub for details.

The Spruit can be as easy or hard as you want to make it. You usually have to look pretty carefully to find the hard bits.

You can join me - I go slowly.

Let me know which day next week will suit you best...I stay close to the spruit, so I ride there any day.

My 2nd ride there about a month ago, came onto that little wooden bridge next to the pond (just after crossing the B.H. heading towards emmerentia) with a little too much oomph at an angle, and realised i was headed straight over the edge. clamped down front brakes. Endo'd. Landed on the pipe in the bottom of the stream (feet first). Bike did a full forward flip, and in a single move, managed to grab the bike by the crossbar, swing it back onto the bridge, jump up, hop on and carry on riding.

 

since then, i take it easy over the bridge.
