Yoh, it sure is dry. Looks just like Capedivers' post of the trails in Dubai. Mars, I mean

It’s really really dry.

Lots of fine dust and the odd snake.

Interesting that you should mention that. I've had 3 snake encounters on Table Mountain since the beginning of the year. All 3 were Cape Cobras crossing the route close to us. Wonder how many Puffies I have missed?

Dragon's Back, Hong Kong on my Giant Reign Adv 0. Early morning ride, was hoping to catch the sunrise, but I was too slow.

Have I mentioned that I really enjoy seeing what and where Hubbers all over the world ride

Went on a backup ride behind the wheelchair racers in George today.

JIP.

 

Meerendal is seriously DRY !

 

Fine plume of dust if anybody rides in front of you.

 

The dam below the restaurant has receded a LOT in the last few weeks !!  The intake of the pump house is now is now bone dry and some 10m away from the water line.  Not long now, then this will just be a mud crust .... REALLY hope we get some decent rains and dont lose the bird life that is so much part of this area.

 

 

The vineyards below Dorstberg has what can only be described as raisons on the vine .... BAD season !!  The vineyards next to the dam has a few decent bunches of grapes, but as you ride up towards the road the grapes are getting smaller and smaller ....

 

Other wine farms in the area and Stellenbosch is not looking much better ....

 

Really feel sorry for the farmers !!

We will have to assume that Van Gaalens has closed down that you went somewhere else...

Not quite    

With new Baby being due in a week from tomorrow, even though VG isn’t far, I prefer to be closer.

Pump track at Meerendal .... Maritz having fun on the "inner loop" -

 

 

Some youngsters, hardly older than Maritz,   showing the ou-toppies how it SHOULD be done     -

That youngster is a good friend of mine, Günter Reingruber, a natural shredder! Geen bang haar op sy lyf nie.

 

Chris, would it be possible if you can send me a higher quality picture. I would like to forward it to him. Would appreciate it.

Shawqa MTB Trails....outside Dubai.....

 

No sign of the Guptas, sorry guys !!!

 

 

Capediver, are you based in Dubai? I ride these tracks most weeks I'm here.......just like Mars that's for sure, and you don't want to fall much....very sharp and unforgiving.
