CogitoErgoSum Posted February 25, 2017 Share The rain... it's what we've been speaking about a lot lately... because a)we're grateful [emoji106]b)need to plan rides around itThis week we had A LOT (and it's just started bucketing again while I tap these keys)(Up here the Vaal Dam is supposed to reach 100% by the end of the weekend, with a flood risk to surrounding properties, while you guys down in WC are almost out of water [emoji107] .. I hope it rains soon for you guys)So, because of how wet it's been, trails were avoided, tar it was and we chased lycra in the Cradle this morning..we got snippets of sun here and there, but mostly overcast with a a light sprinkle...IMG_4618.JPG I also got to play with my new GoPro a bitIMG_4615.JPG IMG_4620.JPG IMG_4621.JPGThese are some of your best photos.

Andrew_Smith Posted February 25, 2017 Share Majik : Bloemendal : Hillcrest : Bloemslang Distance: 31.81km Elev Gain: 717m Avg Speed: 15.8kph Calories: 977 C First ride after my illness. This was my first time riding with clips and also switched my 34T with a 30T. My friend joined me this morning riding his 11-36 + 34T combination. He needed to keep momentum for the beginning few climbs. I did not start (felt not so good) beginning at Majik, but this changed going across to Hillcrest. The clips felt strange at the start, but I could really feel a difference in the climbing. It was not easier, but definitely more efficient. The 30T really come in handy for the hectic Hillcrest climb to the top and my legs had more energy (as well as my overall energy levels) left for the rest of track. I notice that I used fewer calories compared when riding with my 34T. I might be a tad slower (blaming it on my fitness for not riding for a week) but the climbing was easier IMO. I still stopped to rest though haha. The clips also helped me to keep my feet grounded when I went down Bloemslang over the bumpy sections. The jumps felt strange at the beginning with clips but got the hang of it later on. It was an excellent day on the bike and I am definitely going to buy (already did) a 30T. Saw these two okes on the trail today, both of them riding the same bike as Badie with freakin golden Eagles! I couldn't help to stare. Oh, and I used my friend's workstation pump to set my tyre pressure correctly. My tyre pressure front was definitely WAY too low last time. No wonder it burped. Luckily it won't happen again. http://i.imgur.com/WSleD0U.jpgAfter the ride portrait shot of my bike. Uni, L.T.G, BSG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted February 26, 2017 Share When the ocean looks like this from Chappies, you know the Southeaster is howling like a rabid werewolf at full moon. Tough, very tough Atlantic ride with Beattbox & co. this morning......but also a good one, because it proved that the old ballies can still teach the 18 year olds a few tricks!

NotSoBigBen Posted February 26, 2017 Share You will enjoy the new freedom of being able to explore moreSo true that, the last 2 weekends I have roamed the gravel routes between Alberhoughton and the Vaal dam but after all the rain I decided yesterday to just take a 'little' able round the same area but just tarmac and it was also OK. Not actually a true CX bike but man I find myself riding more and more on it ... Andrew_Smith, LOOK695, blondeonabike and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
