Where has your bike taken you today?

Back in the office since Monday, already missing these roads (Hartenbos area)

Work should be 4 days - 3 days for the week's end.

1 day for DIY, 1 day for quality time with loved ones and/or God, 1 day for one's hobby (wink-wink)

Johan did you do that Vleesbaai - Herbertsdale trip?

 

Yep, I did this loop on the MTB. I love those roads!

Looking back on the Tankwa. It was simply beautiful but I was overheating.

How did you plan for food and water (especially hydration points)

Stay safe, man

Sorry for second post! Looking back over Biedouw Valley. These photos do the views no justice.

No need to apologize, in fact, I was about to complain that you post too few pictures

Today was terrible. I ran out of water. I had an extra 6 liters and 2 bottles.

To answer your question. Food I carry. It is a lot of bread and peanut butter. In towns I get fruit and anything I cam eat before I get going. Water I carry what I can. It is heavy stuff. I have had to stop at farm houses more than I care to remember. So far every single time I am supplied with ice cold water and a smile. I am extremely grateful to them. I used to stop at streams. But they are all dry now. I have just collected another liter bottle for tomorrow. I hope that helps.

 

Thank for taking the time to answer.

Adventure safely, man.

You are braver than me to ride this route in January.

It will be a while before I'm in the saddle with Simone (sexiness below)

However, back on the road tomorrow for a light stress test and coffee ride.

good luck with the recovery; it’s never nice to be off the bike, unless it’s warranted.

Thanks. I don't take too many. I will do my best. The beauty out here is unreal. Tankwa is a special place. My ashes will be scattered here. And my bike too ????

We have fond memories of these routes ... in a 4x4 ....

 

It must be an absolute visual feast on a bike ....

 

 

The summer heat surely is another topic ....

 

 

PLEASE keep those pics coming

Hope it goes well [emoji106]

Overnight stops mean quick ride strikes before hitting the road again....Bitou River Valley, 25click loop, tar, gravel and corrugations galore.....

[Jakkals.]

you okes really know how to work a camera. We've been getting some good rain this side and last night was no different.

Lekker Gummi. Riding in the snow is on my list. Maybe one day I'll fly for three days to go visit my mate in Kanadia...

[RocknRolla]

Gummi has the coolest pics at the moment. They all look like really chill rides.
