Where has your bike taken you today?

[mikkelz]

 

Last ride of the year for me.    

[Frosty]

Starting to make early morning rides a habit: 3 days in a row with a 04:20 start.

Summer time = early rides = no coffee at Bloemendal ....

 

Carried on riding and found a new spot for the mid ride coffee ...

Some Boland roads with proper heat

A quick ride with my good friend MISTER (Very Skinny) Sam Marx. 3rd in Munga 2020. Bloody Legend.

[RocknRolla]

Now I have to post my mundane pic after two such legends.

 

anyway, decided to get out of bed early and head to the cradle for a ride. Became quite wet about 10 mins in. Was fun to be on the bike nonetheless. 
 

 

Tomorrow, Buffelsdrift.

No photos, no PBs, no racing, just 92Km and 300 minutes added to the cumulative totals. Need another 404Km to achieve my ride/run goal for 2020. Should be done sometime during Rapha500 week.

Hey, Duane, OK I got it, you have a cool backyard!!!

 

But you definitely need some rain here though!

[ChrisF]

When I left home I told my wife I will be doing a "short ride" .... was still feeling the last two rides in my legs and sit bones ...   

 

You know that feeling when the ride just feels "right" ...     So I kept on going, and going ....

 

 

Decided to try out Meerendal, hoping they had gotten around to some maintenance .... (NOTE - they insist on doing their own maintenance, so this is NO reflection on the club!!)  No way to enjoy the single tracks when it looks like this ...

 

 

Back on the road, and to the Protea Corridor gate .... and then I saw the NEW gate, to the extension of Protea Corridor, running next to Meerendal and North ....  This new section was BUSY !!!! 

 

 

 

Turned into a 65km fun ride

From wet roads to a high of 33deg, this ended up being one of my better rides in a long time.

I've been taken campers to their sites by bike, what a high pace ride it quickly turns into, about 900m in and another 900m out, sprinting, minimum 20 times today. While I take the one in I get radioed that there are others waiting.

I’ve been promising to ride to one of my brother in laws restaurants since he got it last year, finally made it happen.

Took the short route, next time I’ll do the long route.

Awesome morning on the bike.

Buffels turned out to be even muddier than my cradle excursion. They had some rain the afternoon prior to our ride, but sections of the trails were wet, properly 

still ok here..

The “bushveld” is quite tropical at this stage...hot and humid

Some of the rideable mud...

I really enjoy buffels, a challenge each time.

 

Today, 

 

what started out as a recovery ride, ( this was day 4 of riding, up from 0 last month) soon became a sprint towards the end, to catch some e-bikers on the singletrack - childish, I know.

 

but a stellar day to be on the bike.

 

tomorrow is rest day for real, as we travel to the midlands.

Jonkershoek, it has been a while..
