Jaco Steyn Posted July 2 Posted July 2 I definitely am a much more drab area of South Africa to cycle in. Not as picturesque as some of the photos I have seen here. LukeLan, Jako De Wet, SilverRider and 4 others 5 2

I recently had some work done on my road bike, and had the cluster replaced with a 11 -28, doing away with the 11-25. What a major difference the 28-tooth cog made on that uphill compared to the 25 that my bike had. Much better for an outoppie of 61 years.😁 Frosty and TheoG 2

My sister and BIL farms about 11km away from Du Toitskloof Cellar towards Worcester. Decided once to ride from their farm and do the red loop and back. The wind coming from Worcester's direction was not so friendly on the way back though 😂 SilverRider, daveno7 and Me rida my bicycle 2 1

Riding a mountain bike there has never appealed to me for that very reason.

On this particular day I was heading back towards Worcester and the headwind forced me almost into granny gear on a slight downhill 🤣 Edited July 2 by KB280DT Robbie Stewart and daveno7 1 1

In that valley you are going to have one of three days: - WIND !!! - HOT !!!! - and then the odd stunning day ... @KB280DT and I were fortunate to have a pretty decent, if cloudy day, during a race there a few weeks back.
