My training ride this morning

I had a really terrible ride this morning, no taxis, no red robots just lots of mountains and fresh air.

 

View of the Amphitheatre from near the Cavern

Slightly closer, see the snow still on the peaks

All in all managed to get in 65km of mixed tar, jeep track and single track riding.

Awesome!

 

Did you stay at the Cavern?

 

Yup, wife is doing a week long art class here so I was dragged along kicking and screaming with my MTB.

 

Unfortunately due to work issues I have to come home tomorrow but will be back Wednesday for the rest of the week.

 

I believe there is a trail from Montusi, near Alpine Heath up to Little Switzerland. I want to go try it out later in the week.

We cannot train as M bumped her toe on the couch in the lounge. All swollen and various shades of blue. I am worried it may be cracked or even worse broken. We cannot leave the country becuase we havent got our work permits yet. Sheesh and we just started training regularly again..... damn damn damn!!!!!!!

Must be terrible not having to deal with the traffic, taxi's, toxins etc. I live in the only place where you can actually see the air you breath. Enjoy while you can smiley1.gif
