So, on Thursday 26th/ tomorrow it will be your last ride for a couple of weeks, maybe longer....

What trail will you or did you chose as the last deathrow meal trail....

 

I am between Jonkers and Banhoek Concervancy....

I was the LAST rider in Tokai yesterday  :ph34r:

No not rogue.

 

And this afternoon I did Kirstenbosch / Newlands / Rhodes Mem

Was like a bloody highway and everybody was cycling with their heads down oblivious of other cyclists.

 

Wanted to tell one Staffie owner how much a new tyre would cost him and two tyres would be double trouble.

Road ride this morning and then a quick MTB ride at Thaba trails this afternoon catching some last minute sunshine...

Only person out meant I got to ride some of the single track in opposite direction short-cutting back to the carpark.

I rode with a friend (at a distance  :ph34r:) from the Durbanville suburbs to Meerendal via Malanshoogte and Contermanskloof. Lots of people getting in their last rides/runs today, but not as much as 2 days ago (wind and rain are icky :w00t:). Everyone I came across was much friendlier than normal. There was a strong feeling of kinship. Some ladies ran to the top of Dorstberg and drank G&Ts while sheltering from the wind behind the bench.

So in light of this last ride thread, i was thinking today where am i going to ride the first time we allowed back out the house?

 

Then i realized, how many trails will actually be open with no maintenance having been done over 21 days.

At this point I'd be happy to just go for a walk around the suburb haha - but I really don't think the trails would have decayed much in 21 days. They're not that manicured ????
