Where has your bike taken you today?

Bloemendal. 

 

Enjoying the IDT during the week, especially when it is raining outside.  But NOTHING comes close to a real ride out in nature on the weekend !

Trans Baviaans, lekker tailwind but road(gravel) conditions were bad. Good to see TyronLab and his teams out there.

Ditto Bullet77! Had an easier day out than expected, but those corrigations between CP2 and CP3 (I think?) shook me till my eyes bled.

Kudos for doing that on a hardtail, I wouldn't.

When on a ride into some of the mountains.  Wanted to explore a little backroad that I have never been on before.  I will be riding this route more often.  Not the fittest at the moment and was totally buggered after the ride but it was just so nice.

The Wife and I packed our bags and set off to Tranquilitas Adventure Farm for the long week-end.

 

The riding spectacular, nice and technical, with loads of natural features to test one's handling skills.

On Thursday as I settled into driving, the dreaded sore throat got me, which basically meant, virtually no riding for me. Bummer, as I really wanted to ride all the trails a couple of times.

 

Went out thursday afternoon.

 

 

Friday was freeezing. Basically looked like this the whole day. I did not ride, because I felt like the weather looked.

 

Thursday, still felt like shite, but HAD to ride the trails. We decided on the shorter more technical black magic, as the fun factor is way up there. 

 

 

The Rim trail was calling, and once again, took it real easy. Glad I rode, although I really am paying for it today.

 

We decided last minute to pack up and head home. Feeling like crap in the comfort of your home is better than a noisy campsite. Now I really need to go back there to properly ride those trails.

Big ride (for me) around Tygerberg Trails. 60km 1800m climbing

What you see on the roads in the south ... abandoned full beer bottles? That MTBbaaisyklist lad suggested that there may have been a roadblock ahead?

Not so much.  Just over 1300 m.  Had a head wind for most of the route and the traffic around the lakes were worse than Kalkbay on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
