Altered my Sunday morning lap a bit to include a few more climbs ....

 

 

Managed to pace myself  a bit better.  Not burning the matches on those long climbs, and yet my average speed is marginally better  :thumbup:   :clap:

 

somehow a photo just does not do justice to this little climb ....  Robinson Street, peaking at about 10% gradient

High point reached ... well for the first part of the ride ...

Photos just dont do justice to the scenery mother nature prepares for us on these trails ...

Was admiring the low clouds over the cape flats from tokai.

 

Those low clouds were visible from Table Mountain to Somerset West, and all along the mountains the Wellington.

 

Actually nicer along the mountains.   The smogg along the Cape flats spoiled the view a bit ...

 

 

Garmin showed between 10 and 12 degrees during the early part of the ride.  But each time I moved into the shadows the temperature dropped back to 10 degrees, and breathing out would cause a nice plume of condensate ..... Just warm enough not to use a jacket, but also just cool enough to know that winter is around the corner.  And saying that, the latter part of the route saw 29 degrees by 9:00 !!
