From the Pyrenean mountain top village of Tella down to the village of Hospital . . .

There REALLY is a village called Hospital? :ph34r:

Been fighting a little cold that has been nagging the past week. Felt ok enough to go for a ride today. Took it real easy.

 

From home to maggie's farm ( home of the chicken pie) via avianto, bidon cradle route.post-24416-0-06795000-1551010382_thumb.jpeg

Yesterday - Piketberg trails. One of my mates is a local so he showed a few of us around - lots of fun. Had a tumble at the top of a koppie, got back on and rode to the bottom, then realised my Garmin had fallen off - had to hike back up. Worst of all - that rough climb back up wasn't even recorded!

Best part - when we were done my wife was kind enough to shuttle us to the top for a second run down!

This morning we had a lekker sandy ride around some farmlands just outside of Eendekuil - I didn't even know there were this many devil thorns in existence!

THAT is a real test for any tubeless conversion ... :eek:

 

The rear wheel held up fine - it had enough sealant. The front wheel had to be topped up with air a few times, nearly no sealant in there.

 

I remember the days before tubeless where those devil thorns meant you had 5 or 6 punctures in one day. We used to carry 2 spare tubes and a patch repair kit around with us.
