Where has your bike taken you today?

One of the Ds and I went to check out the Mast on Constantiaberg after somewhat of a road induced absence. Seeing the moon pinned on top if the mast when we drove up through Tokai, just confirmed that we picked the perfect day for it! I think all Capies should be obliged to ride up there at least once a year. We are so fortunate to have a place like this in our backyard!

That mushroom could have made for an interesting ride home

Tokai Trails..One of the last sections of pine forest between the hikers trail up to the elephants eye and the fairy garden track .They start harvesting this section of pine forest from next week so sadly this is one of my last shady rides through this section ,It will be closed to bikers and walkers during felling and then who knows how long until they allow the track builders to rebuild the path.

The hikers trail? On a bike?

Where is that one?

That picture is on Boulders

 

As far as I know Fairy Garden will be logged, but not Boulders at this stage.

Lets hope so... the notice posted says access to walkers up to the elephant eye and that crosses through the area around boulders track

We rode Red Hill for the first time. What an amazing climb.

Yup, one of the most beautiful, right up there with the other two stunning sisters, Slangkop and Chapmans Peak! Ou Kaapse Weg is the ugly sister, and even that is pretty!

It reminded me a bit of Ou Hels, with a sea view. It just became my favorite climb in CT.

did the Welvanpas white route - some hectic downhill and almost all of the 30km route is singletrack, at least 80%. Got the technical skills nicely tuned up again after road season. Really beautiful out there, will be back.

It's amazing how random a bike crash is.

 

I had the fastest biggest scariest crash of my life today at Tokai. I still can't believe I got away with it.

 

I reckon I was hitting 55 down DH3 Nice little tail wind was blowing. Over jumped the one jump by miles. landed in the sand. lost the front and landed on my shoulder and head. As I was going down I was thinking. Boy. Today you're going to the hospital. That DH3 is probably the fastest piece of track for DH bikes in the Cape. It's definitely a place you don't want to crash cos you are going FAST!

 

Really lucky to get away with that one. Got a big lump on my thigh and hip and my neck is a bit tweaked but that's it. Crazy.
