Yesterday up the zugerberg via the long route (+/- 9km of climbing) and down the short way of the zugerberg mtb trail

 

 

What i need today after yesterdays ride (rest day)

 

 

 

Filling up the water bottle with some "kuh wasser" cow water... its safe for human consumption

 

Start of the zugerberg trail back down 

 

Some pics from the Black sections

 

 

 

 

 

Been trying to get a picture of these "tree" chickens... finally caught them in the act

That branch is about 4 -5 ft above the ground

Never knew chickens roosted in trees

Chickens can fly,a bit. Not far, not high, just a bit.

 

Oh, and there in Kingsburg (KZN)is a nursery with a chicken laying it's eggs in the shop between the packets of Simba chips.

[Me rida my bicycle]

The perfect perfect day for a ride! Worked little later yesterday to finish up and to be able to ride today!

[TyronLab]

Had a business trip to Kathu for a few days, decided to make lemonade and take my bike along, super glad I did! Managed to get two sunset rides in (which is weird to me as I always ride in the mornings).

 

Have you ever flown over something or some place and though "I'd really rike to ride there one day"? Well I did, and you should. Even though the "view" and subsequent planned photo was a bit of a let-down (a solar panel farm is much less sci-fi and much more industrial than my internal optimist envisioned), it was awesome to actually take the time and make the effort and do something outside of your comfort zone just for fun.

 

 

 

Now that I've done some proper sinkplaatpad with the Hulkbuster I'm even more driven to try the Munga out (initally the Grit this year at least). Look, not exactly the most technically challenging riding or any elevation to speak of, but there's something about the arid red landscape, absolute silence, clear skies and infinite view that's alluring.

odd cycling week....little power....but good to do a bit of single track etc....local trails can be a bit tech at times....but it was very enjoyable in places..

no where, not even to work.

 

Have been experiencing some knee pain off the bike over the last few weeks, was mainly going up stairs that I felt it, but this week it is alot more often and its going up and down stairs, and then during yesterdays commute it was hurting on the bike, something its not done before.

 

Since my commute takes me over a 5%avg climb that takes me around 4 minutes to climb that opportunity to take it easy is not there, so I've parked the bike for a few days to give the knee some rest.

'New' bike day... The 'new' old green at Thaba is pretty cool, a couple of nice changes and additions!

 

Cause I know a guy I have that cool cover for the FD mount spot...

Constantia Neck to Newlands on the gravel bike is pretty adventurous.

Are you running +size tyres or is it just the photo?

Yup, those are 29x3.0 monsters. They're handling exactly the way I wanted them too, but a little more polarizing than I thought they would be. I.e, they're even better on the dirt than I expected them to be (those tiny knobs grip soos 'n drol op 'n wol kombers), but they're also worse on tar than I expected them to be. I can compensate for the bad tar performance by upping the pressure a bit, but that compromises the dirt performance, so i just ride off road more

any of you clever CT guys know if offices are open to renew Activity Cards? Kirstenbosch or Tokai?
