NotSoBigBen Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 That sign along Sun Valley road says 'PRIVATE PROPERTY no dumping will be prosecuted' ... Verbatim! I thought it best to drop some rubbish there next time so as not to get into trouble [emoji12] Long Wheel Base, DJR, Vetseun and 1 other 4

ChrisF Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 We have been blessed some good winter rain in the Western Cape, and after the drought we do appreciate it. June we measured about 141mm of rain, and the trails took a knock. Patrick and his team worked hard, and large sections of the trails are properly manicured. June had another 118mm of rain. On Friday afternoon I did a nice ride, finding that sweet spot .... four days after the previous rain, and 2 hours before the next downpour. The trails were damp in a few spots, but Oooo-so-nice Thus far we have had 87mm of rain in August, with a nice 26mm in 1 hour yesterday Not surprisingly we got a club email today confirming the trails are closed for a few days. No problem, time to start up the IDT. First lap was very nice .... and true as Bob .... RAIN on the second lap ... Duane_Bosch and Hairy 2

Chadvdw67 Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 70 clicks with the slow group, today.The faster guys were all either sick, lame or lazy - felt good just turning the pedals over.835083E2-9B94-44A3-8557-CF3B47A2EC76.jpegIf that is a "slow" group, I think I should just give up cycling...

Frosty Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 If that is a "slow" group, I think I should just give up cycling...We go as fast as the slowest person. For us, 26km/h is slow, especially on a flat (roadie) route with a tailwind on the final 3rd - for a group that can finish most 100Km races in less than 3.5 hours. Kranswurm and J∆kk∆ls 2

'Dale Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 If that is a "slow" group, I think I should just give up cycling... Or aim for your next level, train consistently and then kick some "slow group" azzz ChrisF, Frosty and Chadvdw67 3
