Where has your bike taken you today?

Zona Zero Route ZZ-014 "Camporrotuno and the Treasure of Dineeretes" - This huge abandonded house  - "La Capana" - and its outbuildings, which include a Hermitage and a small Church, are beside the trail...

When I see pictures like this one I get the urge to sell everything I own, buy it and move there........resist resist resist I must!

One cannot be sad while riding a bicycle.

There's a reason the camel (and not the bicycle) is nicknamed "ship of the desert" . My biggest disappointment when trying out a fat bike was that it sure as hell did not float on soft sand like i imagined it would.

Dune 1.....This...in front of TV cameras!!!!     ....

 

I'm pretty proud of my OTB....coulda been much worse!!!

 

Dune 2-10....nice gentle jog down!!!

The Namibian MTB XC season kicked off with a race at Okapuka ranch just outside Windhoek.  Namibia has been suffering from a terrible drought for the last couple of years, so the very good rains of the last two weeks was so welcome.  Made for a very muddy and sticky race!

Took my new lady for a ride, thanks Wayne   11 PRs in one go, must be the bike... or Barney as my kids are calling her.

Classic bike Atlantic ride with Beattbox. His Lejeune now 30 years old, my Merckx 25, and the y are still great fun to ride. Solid, comfortable, reliable.

 

Coming back through the Waterfront we checked out the boats getting ready for The Cape 31, Royal Cape Yacht clubs' premier regatta. A dozen identical, Cape Town designed and built racers, sailed by invitational international crews. Something to be very proud of!

Yup, you simply have to make the most of a day like today, because, just like whiskey, it doesn't last!

Been a while since I rode anywhere worthy of posting.

 

Thaba yesterday. 

 

 

This place really brings some perspective to one's technical riding ability. Specifically short steep ups.

 

Shortly after this, took a stab at the XCO track, and ended up eating some boulders on the Rock garden (forest more like it). Called it a day after that.

They are not Cape 31s, but TP52s, of an international racing class. Looks seriously fast, basically like a moerse big Lazer.
