Boet that mogale wood blonde went down like a homesick mole....like jcza said the train back...Me, jcza and mike bike went like the clappers...blixem we gooied mielies. Quite a nice spot the guys have there, but you still have 50km to get home from there...this is after doing 70 odd already and most of the climbing. Good day out though

One of these days when your in for some hill training come with us. we park at Mogallywood Pub, then ride from there (short 6km dirt rd to the pub). we do both sides of the nek twice then head back to mogallywood. Over 1000m climbing in approx 35km. Beer tastes great afterwards.

Actually we thought of another plan...although yours isn't bad...take the bakkie to the top of the nek...do hill repeats...up over up over up over until we puke. have a cooler box on standby, and then tan a tjoppie at the top before heading home.

Ok winner winner chicken dinner. Defnitely doing that then. Its very close to the t-junction so perfect for the hill repeat thing.

Last time I did it, I did both sides twice on the SS. It was more than enough to say Beer O'clock time by 10amthumbup1.gif

Those photos really tell a story - I honestly don't know how you guys managed to get on your bikes and do another 50k after a beer??? I think i would have found a nice shady spot under a tree and had a snooze.

 

Any riding plans next week / weekend? I'm on leave from Friday. clap.gif

Got the stats for the hill climbing session. I rode from Mogallywood pub, up and over both sides of the Nek twice then rode back to Mogallywood pub, then realised it was before 10am so I rode back to the base of the short side of the Nek to wait for the GF. Switched off the garmin there. That came to 44km and 1300m climbing, so your looking at approx 35km and 1100m.

Do not bring sprinting legsmellow.png just climbing and beer drinking.

Race no what for the year?

Ja but you know how its gonna go...jcza sits halfwheel in front, I do the same, you then respond, wash rinse repeat...and before we know it it we are going full gas down that dirt road. Matches burnt before we even reach breedts. We are guys ffs, everything is race.

 

But seriously, I have to take it very easy to do the base thing right for j2c. If it was singletrack well then I just can't help myself but have to focus a bit.

 

Ahhhh, so JCZA is a half wheeler devil.gif

Thanks for letting us know thumbup1.gif
