DJR Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Could not get any of the Ds to join me this morning. Decided to go it alone. Drove all the way to Simons Town to go ride around and down to Cape Point. After all Duane said the reserve is so nice and quiet at the moment. Except that it rained. But that's nothing, I'm trough, and a bit of drizzle never stopped me. So, I get out of the Landy, put the bike together, put on shoes, gloves, even my rain jacket ................... .and for **** sakes ............... my helmet is missing in action! Forgot it at home! I taught my sons, from when they were little, that helmets are compulsory. Now they are all grown up and I'm faced with a dilemma. Thought hard, rationalized ................. and went for a coffee before driving home! Time gone, too late for a ride ............ guests arriving for lunch ................ the wine did take the moerig edge off after a few glasses. Now in a good mood, but not able to ride! Beattbox, fanievb, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and 2 others 5

While doing the contour lines at Conties, before dropping down for my morning coffee, I felt a few drops on my face .... Glad it did not start raining ... looong way from home, and no warm layers ... Such a fine line between thee best day on the trails and it all going sideways ...
NotSoBigBen Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Another one of my favourite 'stoksiel alleen' rides ... The mind tends to wonder after a few hours though, so .... I enjoy Di2, it's efficiency and it is a cool gadget BUT I get the feeling it has no 'soul' Edited October 25, 2020 by NotSoBigBen SwissVan, DJR, Vetseun and 1 other 4

TNT1 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Yesterday my bike turned into a delorean or something. I stumbled into the past...And the kit was brand new still. Long Wheel Base, JohanDiv, Bateleur1 and 2 others 5
TyronLab Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 I know progress is inevitable and urbanisation will happen regardless but sad in my opinion what's happening at Thaba. I hear the reassurance being given that the trails will still be there and rideable but for how long? From previous experience in this area I give it a year max, mark my words ... NOOOOO!!!! I just discovered Thaba... Probably the best trail system we have in GP. Let's hope the uptick in attendance keeps it open.
Spinnekop Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Yesterday my bike turned into a delorean or something. I stumbled into the past...And the kit was brand new still. Blast from the past! I still have some of that kit sealed in plastic in the garage.......... Bateleur1, Frosty and TNT1 3
