I sense that you might be right!

[Jewbacca]

Super bleak I can't make the trip.

 

Enjoy guys. I'm adventuring away at Eselfontein and Val de Vie on the SS this weekend feeling jealous of you party going swampdogs instead!

So they say we need climbing gears. Who's bringing what? 32x18 for me on my 'bred

Invoke Rule #5 at all times.

[Thug]

I'll be running 32x20 on phatt tyres.

 

Won't need to peddle on the downhills.

I think you are going to sell all your other bikes... Sterkte! Geniet dit!

I'm sorry I'm missing this one. Enjoy. And it's reasonably close to home.

So you going to be setting some new KOM's in your car ?

Haha. No segments no KOMs.

 

Two things... watch out for potholes after Reitz if you come that way.

 

The wind is pumping here at the moment. Bring a tent which can withstand an Arctic Gale.

 

The trails are running awesomely. Tacky from all the rain. Oh and the sandstone is harsh with a hardtail. Even with 140mm of travel on the front

[Thug]

What an epic weekend!!

 

Tough climbs, sandstone, flowing singletrack, fixie sprints, beer, daisy, big screen for the rugby, good food and a great bunch of like minded people.

[divernick]

It was wicked guys. Thanks to all involved!

 

This is where we got to ride:

[divernick]

Thug and I had a little race. (This after riding some of the most challenging trails I've experienced)

 

We rolled dice for how many marshmallows our opponent would have to eat whilst riding. I had to do this with 3 in my mouth, Thug only had 1.....

 

It was neck and neck right until the end but I managed to pip him to 1000m by about a second or 2.

We had a lekker ride yesterday morning.

 

Rode the DDD. Damn glad that wasn't in the race as I pushed most of the uphill but the downhill was sublime, then went back and rode Karen's again.

 

Eventually got home at 5.
