Where has your bike taken you today?

[Mojoman]

The Delmas road was eerily quiet on my outing this morning. Turns out a massive trench across the entire road was the cause of my bliss!

 

Exciting times in Delmas!

[RocknRolla]

Took a leisurely ride out to Magalies this morning. 

 

Taken Next to Tarlton Raceway

On the way back.

 

Really Enjoyable outing, away from the crowds of people in the cradle and at the bike parks.

"Mountains"......

 

Oom bedoel heuweltjies........?

In my racing dae het ek die klim na die sateliet toring by Boomrivier geklim, in die middel tussen Upt en Groblershoop. Op die bergfiets klim ons Tierkop in Keimoes.

Three Mungrels + dirt roads = a lekker day out.

Was lekker to ride with these okes again.

I remember a news article about that a while back, something about a massive sinkhole. Have wanted to go check it out.

Passed the 500k elevation gain mark today (since Strava began recording my rides). Given how flat the roads are, in the S and E of Jozi, and many, many miles on the IDT (during the week), this has taken quite a lot longer than it should.

Been making the best of the sunny winter days, and have had a couple of outings on our local trails over the last few weeks.  Mostly shorter trips with Maritz.

 

On Saturday I had a solo ride, nice and early in the morning .... made good use of my arm and leg warmers ...    

 

 

Even the animals were enjoying the brisk early morning air ...

 

 

 

 

 

Near Ntida was a good reminder of the good winter rains ....

 

 

 

What a stunning morning to enjoy the Bloemendal trails 

 

 

 

 

And then the trails got busy ....

 

 

 

 

The D'Aria forest is always a visual feast ...

 

 

Another reminder of the good winter rain ...

 

 

 

Home via Protea Corridor ... now the trails were getting BUSY with lots of two way traffic ....

 

 

 

 

After all these fun days on the trails .... Thought I would wash the bikes, and top up the tubeless Sludge ..... Once the wheel was in the "rig" - I find it much easier topping up the sludge with the wheel out of the frame - I checked the axle-bearings, cleaned the drive train, and somehow the morning flew by very quickly.    

 

 

 

 

 

With a drops of rain on Monday and Tuesday I should be able to get fresh mud on the bikes shortly ...

Till you break it....

 

Well, took me 31,000km on the last one. I'll crack 'em all - it's just a question of time.

That Kona looks pretty solid though.

That's the unfortunate thing about the Freestate. Need to cycle 130km to gain 800m elevation. When my parents lived there I always took my MTB with and cycled out of town on the dirt roads to the farms. Think the most elevation I got on a +-50km ride was 200m [emoji3061][emoji23] Edited August 2, 2020 by BSG

It is - I managed to finished CTCT on it in just under 4 hours.

Mate snapped his frame in half and another one left in a ambulance????
