Bub Marley Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 Took myself to G!ro Cafe yesterday, hottest day of the year, really felt like being home again. IMG_5111.jpg The systemsix is fast becoming my favourite bike ever, perfect for the UK's mostly pretty flat terrain. I have tickets booked to Cape Town for Decmber/January, hoping it all works out, and I can test it out on more mountainous terrain. IMG_5110.jpgThis paint job is the dogs bollocks. Love it
ChrisF Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 no photo stops .... did manage the compulsory coffee stop though. 33km round trip from home. Including various local trails. Trails have dried out nicely since the last rain. Northerly breeze a timely reminder of the approaching cold front. NICE day out in the saddle DJR and Duane_Bosch 2

TyronLab Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 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. DJR, NotSoBigBen, mecheng89 and 5 others 8

capediver Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 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. 116647071_10158939208479789_7981774705016547259_o (1).jpg116723345_10158939207529789_3103666901987873241_o.jpg116773464_10158939208349789_5608577740657009355_o.jpgDuuude, so now we don't have to sneak off to secret spots to surf anymore!!!
