Started the bone crusher but after 30km i rode over a piece of wire that damaged the tire and tubeless tape, then i just limped home...cldnt finish as the tape wont seal.

So unfinished business....

I think this year that have swopped some of the routes, starting with the big climbs, because flip did the looong one last year and hitting that tallest mountain in the western cape at the end was just tough

The farmers in the swartland can do with a break. Rather hope that they get a lot of rain. Frequently, and that you get a break in the weekend with overcast conditions and no rain. Then everybody wins.

 

But seriously, every year that I rode DBX rain was forecast, and every year the Saturday was lekker.

 

That place is aa dusty as ouma's attic, so the rain will bind the soil making the singletrack fun.

As I hoped the rain has moved to Tuesday, thank you Mother Nature, now can you do something about that low temperature?
