This past Sunday I went out for a quick dirt roadie ride on backroads and farms between Worcester and Robertson.

and

On a part of my route I went past farms that run along the Breederiver, haven't been out this way for a while and was captivated by the green stuff in the usual 'vaal kaakiebos' type surroundings. aca138856be79a04c150f5a8bca57d0f.jpgc58335e98437efe91ff740e9b275f7f8.jpgThis is about 5km's from the river heading to the hills and away from the luscious green growth. fb0195229e5a44e702bad80192fe5236.jpg Found this weird looking bushy thing in the middle of the jeeptrack bursting with color in between its previously mentioned 'vaal kaakiebos' surroundings. d2cc57f76919620f9329ee7ac87dca8b.jpg

That's exactly what we do. Usually drive 2 ride 10 if there are 6 people. The rule tho is if you have a mechanical then you're the driver.

 

Pay shuttle days are different.

A bit late, we decided to ride down the the Thomas River to the Kei, but this translates to an uphill ride for most of the way then a steep drop down to the Kei, so we skipped the Kei and went farming :blush: instead

 

From here it's all downhill to the Kei

and to justify claiming the input VAT on our bikes

There's a Fish Eagle there somewhere, It must be nesting in the tree, because it was sitting in the same place as when we passed earlier

Absolute scorcher on the Highveld and I'm frikkin loving every moment! One more small 'obstacle' to conquer on the SSR at Thaba and I'll be able to ride a full green lap without 'klapping 'n toon'  :blush:

 

I've checked the line, tomorrow ....

Wouldn't even think remotely about doing Thaba on an SS...my 11sp is just enough to see me though the green route with Yafta and Samuel...with lots of breaks in between.
