fanievb Posted November 2, 2016 Share We rode Express Petroleum Thomas River MTB on Saterday, and with the hills having names like Marks Murder, and Death Valley, I decided that gears were in order (also the fact that I've been extremely lazy this winter).The ride was great, and the last 10km were mostly downhill, and singletrack along the river, so I caged a beer from buddies who were manning the 10km to go waterpoint.14925319_1071709319614083_810046216736044395_n.jpg Then it was steep downhill for a kilo or two, where I overtook all the riders who passed me while I was drinking my beer, then this happened, from doing a back wheel slide around a bend,14889874_640343966147648_6275931515499281476_o.jpgI had a little lie-down, thankfully I was riding with a camelbak, so I landed on it. A quick remount, and a sprint under the oaks single-track14939416_640328486149196_8049025412983576368_o.jpg Great ride, and great hospitality from the farmers, I only left after 12 that night looks like uncle John is warning the okes about the slow toppie around the bend.... pity I missed it (again) especially after the nightmare Mangaung MTB deanbean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSG Posted November 3, 2016 Share I hear that there is a 9km mtb trail coming in Klein Brak Rivier, anyone knows of more details? Apparently someone from CT is helping with the development of said tracks. A bad day cycling is better than a good day working.

henningvr Posted November 5, 2016 Share Fellow hubber Warthog and myself did the Alzu Tour de Farm today on our single speeds. Then we proceeded to put away several cold ones as a reward for our efforts. Great ride and great company. Cheers Warthog!

Lurch the stalker Posted November 6, 2016 Share Took a fairly casual ride out to the North today. That hill in Laudium doesn't look very big, but it's actually quite a b***ard to climb as I found out this morning - but not a bad view when you get to the top...

DJR Posted November 6, 2016 Share Down South and around Cape Point with Beattbox, riding the old classics. Picture at Smitswinkels.
