ChrisF Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 April is my favourite month weather and scenary.September can also work, but mornings very cold......We flew up to a farm on the Orange river in August/September .... When we landed they were burning hay bales to prevent frost bite to the grapes .... FREEZING COLD !!! Later that day it was in the 30's ..... We have had some nice weather after Easter weekend.

DJuice Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) We flew up to a farm on the Orange river in August/September .... When we landed they were burning hay bales to prevent frost bite to the grapes .... FREEZING COLD !!! Risk of frost in September. Old tale of 10 October, birthday of Paul Kruger, being the cutt off date for frost. Had black frost 14 October one year... Please do come and visit our area!There is mtb routes in Riemvasmaak, Augrabies falls and Khamkirri. We even have a local stage race, Trans Augrabies, with aggregate, like they use in Trans Portugal. https://transaugrabies.co.za/en/ Edited January 23, 2021 by DJuice mazambaan and ChrisF 2

TheoG Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 Family rides. THE best... Felt like yesterday I was teaching them to ride a bike, now they wait for me! That bike lane look awesome ! Wayne pudding Mol, ChrisF and DJR 3
WrightJnr Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 That bike lane look awesome ! Just over 180km of dedicated cycle track in Dubai. Very lucky. But a few drawbacks. Riding on public roads very dangerous and mostly illegal, so it’s the same tracks day in day out, it’s FLAT here, and I mean FLAT! The car racing circuits are open on Wednesday nights for cycling so that’s cool as well. I’m not complaining though. DJR, Prince Albert Cycles, JohanDiv and 7 others 10
