I dont get leave like that. Its normally 3 weeks in december. Then also I doubt I would have any leave left seeing I have been out of work for about 4 or 5 months so far this year

I'm in same boat as you - but usually just say just say "f..k this s..t, I'm taking leave" - make it unpaid if you want to be a d!ck.

Best in SA? I'd say so.

 

Went there after Knysna MTB earlier this month. Loved it so much we're going back there again next week!

Big bunch of us from PE will be there weekend 6-7 August, will be my 3rd trip to GRTP and the excitement is building.

Kingskloof with the missus.

 

It's not fast, it's not flowy, it is rocky, it has lots of climbing, and it really is an awesome tough ride.

 

Even rode a little of the new section, and yes you guessed it, it goes up mainly, with a little bit of fun going down.

To say it was a farking cold start, is a serious understatement.

After looping the Cradle week in and week out, back in SA, my new home has new views and outlooks.

Just got back from Ham Common where I was stopping every 5 minutes to take pics of the flora... (I must be getting old) :D

 

Tomorrow I am heading to Corfe Castle. Home of William the Conqueror in the 11th Century. (weather permitting... 2 very common words in these parts :D)
