You know of the believe that if you were ever to pass underneath a rainbow [emoji304] that one will have an immediate sex change. Edited by BSG

Is THAT why all the lighties can't decide if they are boys or girls?

Gave Taroko another spin yesterday. Mixed it up with the 10km loop plus the last two fun downhill / techy rock sections, then did the full 30km loop and 6x Tar Climb repeats.

The repeats were partly for the climbing training but mostly to blast down that fun singletrack back to the bottom. Trying to catch as many riders as I could while heading up the tar road was a great motivator, and I tried my best to give words of encouragement to the obviously-new riders slogging it up there. If you're just getting into riding that climb is a killer (and nearly caused my premature divorce one blistering November afternoon).

 

Trails were the busiest I'd ever seen them, riders and hikers alike. 99.9% of users were courteous and friendly though, so that was awesome. Although I can feel my skills starting to improve I managed to have a spill 5m from the place I previously took a spill. Flat, sandy, tight turns are my nemesis, and my moto-x roots aren't helping. I can't manage to get comfortable with my body position in those situations, and not having a dropper on this bike isn't helping.

It's not a bike. And it's not today or even yesterday. But I haven't seen a pic of me on a board since the 00's so please bear with me.

 

Breaking the law at CCCCCOOOKING Elands a week or 2 ago. I don't like the point runners. I prefer the ones at the top of the point. They are shorter but have more push and less people.

Hahaha.

 

So I have bad news for that oke. That "secret spot" is listed on windguru and wavescape. And the road sign pointing to it might be a clue.

 

But we try keep it on the Downlow aye.

We'll use the power of this new fandangle called the Internet to ensure it remains "secret"....all media with metadata from that location will be automatically banned!
