Where is the pic of the inevitable case that followed?

No case just flat landed ....not enough balls to launch and clear the road ( yet)

How long is the run-in to the gap? 

 

Just need a little pop to clear it, by the looks of it.

Quit long actually its just after A huge pedal section , the road is probs just over 3m  wide

 

 

Peach usually comes in fast pops on the pallet and then flys 6-7m and lands on the slope far down ( i just need to get my mind there to do it )

My experience with road gaps: get a feel for the entry speed and just commit and huck it.

What a way to start the weekend .... commute to work on a Friday morning.

 

 

October last year I could not cycle up Suikerbossie (16 years of bikes and bust knees ..)

 

kept on doing the commute - twee-kamp style ..... cycle most of the way and walk two of the steep hills.

 

 

Today I gave it some stick .... kept the cadence up, slightly higher gear, twice my normal speed, and when the hill stepped up I got out the saddle and kicked it .... 155 to 162 bpm.  Recovered in about 90 seconds, knees are fine .....  

 

had to do a quick basin-bath at work ...  :whistling:   (will keep the morning commute more sedate, but the afternoon commute is getting to be FUN)

absolutely fantastic vibe !  Most experienced riders were patiently waiting for the rest of us up the stairway to heaven.  And dads spending some real quality time with kids -

I did get up Dorst Berg (though I walked most of the way ... my personal goal is to ride more of it each time), then you get the guys that do 2 or 3 runs up it .... RESPECT !

Almost feels like spring is here.  

Beautiful riding in the Hemel and Aarde valley on trustee bamboo.  Great weather, new friends, lots of bike talk.  

Seems like a perfect Sat morning ride...and then we got to the end-of-ride coffee destination, devastated!
