Where has your bike taken you today?

Around Paardeberg in a strong southeaster.

Like you neither do I but I do read the 'news' every so often .. I assume my wife and I are part of the 10 people who were in bed Sunday night at 9 as well 😜

You were not alone, wife, 2 kids and 5 dogs. Next day at school, show of hands who watched the rugby…my guy showed a hand…

Headed north for some coffee, and shelter from the breezy conditions.

My bike took me to and from the Ebike 🤣 what a blast those things are on the trails just for a quick play. It really flattened the hills and left me with enough energy to push hard home on my n/a bike 😂

Some hill work in through Westcliff followed by the customary coffee and croissant.

Franschhoek pass on closed roads is just amazing. Wind not so much though.

Based on this post, I doubt it

No, the damage has been extensive. I do not know what happened to the upper section of the Black Route or the eastern side of the Red Route below Rotary Drive. In my opinion they will have to do a complete re-design of the trails, the Blue Route has taken a hammering, in more than one section hundreds of meters of the trail is simply gone,  it will take many many months.

From Swellendam to George. Took just over 11 hours and a nights stop as per tent accommodation. Was a great ride. Bit long on the N2 but so be it. Back to Knysna in a day or two. Been a trip..

Regarding upper Black route, I was at Moggs (up towards the top of Hemel en Aarde) last weekend, and their comment was that when they went up to look, the trail "simply doesn't exist anymore".
Huge mud slides have covered stuff meters deep in places.
