NotSoBigBen Posted August 17, 2020 Share 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] DJR, Vetseun, TyronLab and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted August 18, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost Posted August 18, 2020 Share Got caught in a heavy downpour on country roads here today, what a mess. Bought an IDT this evening in anticipation of the coming months. Zatopek and Wayne pudding Mol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadvdw67 Posted August 19, 2020 Share 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 Share 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.
