BUSY day at Meerendal -

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 !

FUN Gaalens!!! :clap:  :clap:  :clap: Back at my fav stomping ground after a a couple weeks..

convinced some locals who we met on the trail to try Double D, the newest trail Erik built about 2 months ago.

flowy up and Gnarly down... the guys bought a few pieces of land  :whistling: .. but thoroughly enjoyed it.

After the recent winter veld fires the trails stick out like veins on Pawel Poljanski's legs at the TDF.

The descent of Pofadder, which is what Double D joins onto, is tricky and the trail is very rocky but super fun.

You need your wits about you

at the end, even more treats and you get to finish off with the insanely fun wave runner.

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!

 

Should have carried on riding to Plaaskombuis on the Hermanus trails route.

 

 

JIP, thought that trail would be MUDDY after the rains .....

Not today, but the last 6 rides on my road trip from KZN to CPT . Hogsback, Harkerville, Storms River, GRTP, Helderberg Trails and Jonkers. Today will be Tokai

Pic 6 with the log could've been a dead stopper[emoji33]

 

Hou die rubber op die grond!

Is it just the angle of the photo or does your saddle point a little to the left?

Argh! I was torn between using this photo or not because of that!

The wind was so woes and I was battling to steady the bike, that's why it's off Centre

Saddle's straight .. I'm just k*k

I feel your pain bro, have had the same issues before as well as bike being blown over as our beautifull Breederiver Valley rarely does not have wind.

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 !

Good on you Chris, keep on trying and you'll get there eventually.

As we say in Afrikaans, "aanhouer wen!".

Just remember it doesn't get easier, you just get faster. [emoji109]
