Mtb'er on Contermanskloof Rd

[ccc2]

So there I was climbing a little bump on conterman’s when I’m joined (maybe attacked is a better word) by a mtb’er all in black. He went past but wasn’t strong enough to gap me. Halfway up I could see he was struggling becos he was weaving to the side and gearing down and then he gobbed. So I went up next to him and asked him ‘was that really necessary’? he rips out his earphone and says ‘hey boet you came up behind me how must I know where you were’? now what kind of dogkcuf logic is that.

So mr mtb’er all in black here are a few tips that you must take with u in your cycling life:

When attacking a small hill , climb it in a gear so that you maintain a steady cadence (maybe you didn’t notice that I was in my bigblade).

When tired, don’t gear down , gear up and stand.

Be kind to fellow road users , especially cyclists. You might need them when u trouble.

I’ve been riding Contermans for donkey years, I’ve never seen you before and hope to never again.

What exactly was this mtber doing wrong apart from not having big legs and not being very experienced at riding up hills?

Hi there, sorry for the hijack, but just a word of caution for the people that cycle this route in the evenings. Keep an eye out for a brown taxi with very dark tinted windows. Tonight coming back from Malanshoogte just past the new road that turns of to N7 this taxi drove up behind me and stayed behind me. As I turned right into Tiekiedraai road he came up right next to me, luckily a guy on a mountain bike coming from Tiekiedraai saw that and sped up. Just before he caught up the taxi took of. I am not sure what his intentions was but I did not have a good feeling about it.

A run-up into flying kickslap from Carbon_Kooi sends ccc2 spinning off on some of his own advice..

He must have been chasing a striver segment!

I think the gobbing into the OPs/OPs path was the problem.

 

That and the man in blacks attitude after the OP said something

Attacking someone on a climb and then fading halfway up. Jy maak jou naam gat.

Gobbing, I think we all do it.
