L.T.G Posted August 26, 2017 Share FUN Gaalens!!! 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 .. 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.

ChrisF Posted August 26, 2017 Share 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 ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenReaper Posted August 26, 2017 Share 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 ! I did get up Dorst Berg (though I walked most of the way ... my personal goal to ride more of it each time), then you get the guys that do 2 or 3 runs up it ....

BenReaper Posted August 26, 2017 Share Have only had one ride this week, as I've been kept busy with other stuff in the evenings. Hoping to get out on the bike tomorrow, but by the current look of things its ganna be a late ride.Here's some pics from my ride on Thursday evening, was great to have some daylight for more than 10 minutes as longer days are slowly approaching.

BSG Posted August 26, 2017 Share I want/need to go out riding tomorrow morning at 05h45, but I hate cold mornings. I desperately need to start cycling more often because the winter fat is starting to get visible [emoji848] Hou die rubber op die grond!Didn't happen, my bed won the fight.[emoji1] Edited August 27, 2017 by BSG BenReaper and deanbean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted August 27, 2017 Share Tokai Forest (OK, I know there is no more forest, so I suppose we'll just have to call it Tokai from now on) with Beattbox. We were "otherwise engaged" for a few months, so it was a really delightful homecoming ride on a beautiful Cape winters day. The legs felt it a bit more than usual, but those new berms on Vasbyt were lovely and flowey. Quickly said hi to the grumpy rhinos at the office. They've become very tame.
