One of those '2 bites' rides as my mate refers to them ... first ride abandoned called the 'team car' for recovery then got back home took another bike and still got in a half decent ride!

 

Since I was out before sparrows fart this morning the thought occurred to me that many people see sunsets on most days but sunrises less so, it is a special time of the day to me650f68debe4f3c2ba64335dc1e70cdd9.jpgaf66a93b8e7c3f468ca1e970fc7e9ed5.jpg

Was shown some of the Howick MTB trails by Chainsaw this morning.

What an absolute gentleman, and a great ride leader. Took us up and down some awesome trails, with breathtaking views along the way.

 

Karkloof Falls

a little down the road, awesome view of the valley, not done any justice by my crappy pic.

currently, it’s very bloody hot, and I may find a fridge to go lock myself into...

Was a scorcher in the valley today! Karkloof country club may have run out of beer after our stop there.

Up the Rhodes Memorial Hill..................for hill repeats with D................except that calling my one effort a "repeat" is a bit of a trumpism :blush: I need to re-construct some fitness after this crazy jackhammer of a year broke my routine into a thousand pieces that I was still busy re-arranging and gluing back together when the 2nd wave broke it again. I guess some base training is called for. Come on 2021, please be a boring year!

D passing my favourite local Fever Tree, just around the corner from home. It always reminds me of the wilder parts of Africa, of swamps, bad roads, bugs, mud, getting stuck and adventure. Although they are not normally found in the Western Cape, the City of Cape Town planted many of them a decade or more ago, to add something African to a city that had almost exclusively alien trees on its sidewalks and in its parks. (They also planted Camel Thorns and Soetdorings) They do extremely well, grow quickly and is beautiful - a constant reminder that we are firmly attached to Africa!
