ChrisF Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 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 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 ... Time for coffee at Bloemendal, then some more climbing .... 31km and 566m elevation Rouxenator, DJR, Wayne pudding Mol and 6 others 9

ChrisF Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 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 !!

NotSoBigBen Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 It's that time in Gauteng when the sun is low in the sky in the mornings and the shadows are long, one needs to be mindful that cars riding into the sun won't see you so easily! Patchelicious, ChrisF, DJR and 7 others 10

Bonus Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Is that young fellow on your e-bike or is it his? [emoji50][emoji38][emoji6]Ha! Neither..... The e-bike was being ridden by one of the other guides, Rafa, and at the bottom of the last climb, when the little lad was worn out, Rafa dropped his saddle and swapped bikes with him for 10 minutes. I was on my Epic. BenReaper, BSG and DJR 3
