ChrisF Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Nice early start .... almost a full moon looking through the cloud cover .... Nice ride to get to the start of the trails .... Oatlands corridior, the new section, truly is a nice addition to the network. Entering Conties along the road many vehicles, with bikes, came past me. Full lap of Conties, then up to the mast. WOW !! the trails got busy very quickly !! Three groups of about 10 riders each on the way up. And then another large group came FLYING down .... those guys were MOVING ! 40km later, time for a morning coffee at Bloemendal. Full lap of D'Aria and Bloemendal, then back via Traverse. PERFECT weather ..... lots of riders...... stunning vibe ..... truly a memorable day out on the trails. THANKS to Patric and his elves for all the hard work repairing the trails. Nice little lap ....

capediver Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 And what on earth are these animals? Like a cross between a sheep and a goat. They all had horns if I remember correctly. When I stopped they all started coming towards me. They smell!Angora goats = mohair..... DJR, Eddy Gordo, DJuice and 1 other 4

NotSoBigBen Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 4 rides this week so far and caught in the rain every time ... my mate last night says the weather sangomas say there'll be thunderstorms on Sunday so I suppose you'll stay in bed, my wife 'you gotta be kidding, he'll be out' Long gone given up relying on the likes of 'InAccuweather' As an aside disk brakes on road bikes are just 'cool bling' most of the time but they did earn their keep this week [emoji12] SwissVan, RocknRolla, TheoG and 9 others 12
