Me rida my bicycle Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 ChrisF after today's ride going into the Jonkersberg MTO plantation here close to Groot Brakrivier I really wished I had an E-Mtb like yours, I suffered big time with 13,1kms of climbing in a 47km ride. Started cramping at around 20 - 23kms and eventually phoned the better half to get the bakkie and fetch me after my tank ran empty and I had absolutely no energy left.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200704/9ffb46626c6c051f8e15ab777af19f27.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200704/386dacee01d79984057eecf8380e0390.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200704/bd832fdf7451cf028acd19bca5368ad6.jpgI thought those sworks were like having a e-bike ????????
RocknRolla Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I have been suffering from some depression the last week. Getting on the bike and getting out, has been incredibly difficult. Paired with some mechanical issues on the bike that I have not been able to sort properly, has made for a less than perfect cycling week (or two, I’m not sure anymore) Seemed to have gotten my rear tyre to hold some pressure, so the missus and I went out this afternoon. The route had some challenging climbs (for me anyways) which went great, I rode 95% of them, where the last time out (years ago according to strava) I walked 95% of them. anyway, enough words (this is a pictures thread) so on with the drab landscape(wow, these photos compressed really badly, will manually resize next time..)

CAAD4 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Thanks man, will see how it goes over the next few days. Praying they just badly bruised...Sterkte Oom. Did you break the rock?
NotSoBigBen Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Sterkte Oom. Did you break the rock?No he just kept on riding... [emoji12]
RocknRolla Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 No he just kept on riding... [emoji12]I hate Ninja rocks. The problem is the stealthy attack, leaves no time for a defensive tuck and roll. Sorry Ben, hope you heal up quickly! NotSoBigBen 1
Kalahari Vegmot Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Now that is a plan ! Do you make them equal reach or is one slightly in front of the other, so the back sort of engages before the front ? (Help limit the endo's)Sorta, but I still have individual modulation: fanievb 1
Slowbee Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Sorta, but I still have individual modulation:2.jpgFreakin' smart plan brotha'! Kalahari Vegmot 1
TyronLab Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Is the makro you start from a secret, would love somewhere safe to park for a ride like that.Not at all. It's the Makro close to Carnival City. Pretty basic non-technical dirt roads. You can use this as reference (that ride). Check out my activity on Strava: https://strava.app.link/Nk3eSq75Q7 Nakoota 1
The Ghost Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Not too far, but the most rain I’ve had to endure thus far. With the roads and everything still wet from the on and off rain it felt like it rained the whole way, but it was probably just half an hour or so. DJR, Wayne pudding Mol, SwissVan and 1 other 4

Jako De Wet Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 It wasn't that wet there tbh. But then again I was concentrating on keeping all my teeth, it could have been hailing and I would probably have missed it ???? Rigardt@Scott, Me rida my bicycle and Meezo 3
