Rode from Midrand to Braamfontein then rode the Freedom Ride and rode home again.

108.5km with 1617m of elevation.

 

I love the positive attitude from the BP in Hyde Park that I saw on my way home - was a nice change from seeing them advertising things on those boards. :P

I had a bit of time to kill and tried to find a new angle or two on Chappies. First one is Noordhoek , Long Beach and Kommetjie over the old girls top tube. Second one is Chappies from the East Fort, showing which direction the wind normally blows.

brilliant first pic ???????????????????? awesome

Did they happen to mention if the guys in the pile up in Fordsburg around 09:00 were ok? There was probably 2 or 3 guys I saw go down hard and at least one more who went into those on the floor.

Didn't see or hear anything when we went through. was thinking is the first time I haven't seen ambulances screaming past. Only saw one fall at a water point, where a kid stopped abruptly in front of a guy.

 

P.s were you in your spca kit. White bike with some blue bits?

Suppose it depends what time you went through the area I guess.

 

I was exactly like my profile picture - same kit, same bike. Clearly you spotted me somewhere.

We were probably there about 9:45

 

If that was you, you were next to me at one point early on . I saw the shirt, thought it's not Anton, not Mattie must be one of the hubbers that did the Midrand spca ride.

09:45...I was almost back in Midrand by then... :P (ok that's a slight exaggeration)

We were finished by around 09:10/09:15 - was in the first 10 or 15 over the line (which is kind of like bragging about being the smartest kid in the special ed class haha - I apologise in advance to anyone that offends...)

 

I didn't see the toy on the bike so I obviously didn't see you - was probably too busy dodging people that couldn't hold a line, or chasing this one brunette... ;)

 

Had a chat to the photographer at the end, he said all the pictures should be up on Hollard's Facebook page by lunchtime tomorrow - hopefully it's a public album...
