We noticed it on our last MTB ride, the one where Pikey asked where the blue shed was. It must have been from that monsoon season we had last month; lots a standing water, and perhaps a high water table. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We passed that dip on our way to Walkerville, via Sun Valley road. When I mentioned "when Pikey asked where the blue shed was"; I was referring to our last ride (weeks ago).

ChrisF Posted May 19, 2022 Share Yet another day of long miles in the car ..... granted, leaving home with the wipers going steadily I was wondering if THIS was the morning Dale might give it a skip ...... Between Bettysbay and Rooi Els a gent was riding on the wet tar, and was wondering if managed to miss the rain. Coming back two touring bikes were cruising along Clarence Drive ..... by now it was PERFECT cycling weather ..... with me heading back to the office. Just Zwift for me this week .....

Frosty Posted May 21, 2022 Share Rain started at about 18:00 last night and probably stopped sometime before I woke up. Roads were dry, but the wind… well, it was definitely there. Easy going out, but a little harder coming back. Still beats time for on the trainer.

ChrisF Posted May 21, 2022 Share 6 minutes ago, 'Dale said: How was the layering system, @ChrisF Getting there 👍 Long sleeve thermal layer + cycling top + thick warm cycling jacket (proper winter top). For colder starts a gillet will add more flexibility as the day heats up. Gloves worked very well. Took it off in Stellenbosch .... stopped a few blocks later and put it back on. I was hearing you along Bottelary .... cold knees was unnessacery ..... also could have used a buff for that first hour. Think I have my kit sorted for Augrabies .... with my luck they will have hot berg.winds ....😋 'Dale, mecheng89 and Scary Rider 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
