Where has your bike taken you today?

Last minute sub’ for a CAT 3 team at WP Team Time trials, 25 kms north east of Durbanville.
Putting a race number on, always so lekka. Combining with 5 others for 60 kms on an undulating course, never a dull moment.

Where you starting from? This is our neck of the woods. Mom's got a farm around there. 

We generally start from the Beerhouse in Parys on Saturday mornings.

With the saturated soil/big puddles on the gravel roads we've generally been riding to / past Venterskroon the last while. These roads tend to drain much better than some of the others in the area

On Easter Monday some of us are doing a 120km ride (Non-ultra preppers)
The Saturday after Easter others are doing a 200km (36One preppers)

Did you also participate in the Beat the Brewer series in 2023? That was some of the best fun, and most suffering, thanks Rossouw🤪, I had on a mountainbike.

I did the first one, but had to bow out due to an injury for the others. But...we just did the 'Afrika' route, with some interesting extra bits and bobs 🙃 I think other races went to / started at the other side of town


Ross is busy dreaming up another ride for us (maybe not a race) involving some steep climbs on private land stretched over 40km (or so he says).
