Could not go cycling this morning .... between dropping off and picking up family I did make the best of my time though ....

 

NICE to see Bloemendal from a different angle, from behind the lens ...

Must go try out that new descent by Bloemies - looks awesome.

Hoogekraal on a windy day - turns out jumping is not a good idea when the wind is coming from the side. I nearly bought the farm on a few jumps landing way off-kilt. After a good few scares, I cashed in my chips and left the casino with my honour and skin intact.

I work in the dev environment so I fully believe that a gogga crept in somewhere...

Ja, that day was very windy despite the weather forecast insisting there should be none, and despite more sensible logic I tried my luck at the skills park...jumping in wind is not advised, as I nearly came short a couple of times getting blown off-line in the air making the landings "interesting". You can see I was eventually absorbing the jumps to try not paste myself on the table somewhere. Eventually we sidled over to the flow line section of the downhill and sessioned that bit. 

It was a fun day out, and my last for a couple of months.

Glad you stayed on! Learnt to respect the wind on Tokai Vasbyt /Dh3 entrance, 29" wheels are like sails in the SE'er, bought the second table top for the cost of a collar bone.

Yup, I can attest to that. No matter how adept you think you are at riding, when you hit the jump in a Cape Town SE'er and your wheels start singing "Kaptein, span die seile" you know you're going to see your ass.

If you are listening to "Kaptein, span die seile" you are certainly already seeing your ass from some klippies and kola!
