Swartberg Pass into Prince Albert. Slept on the mountain. Nice to get to shower today. 

I simply love your evocative images. Two of my fave memories are from that Swartberg Pass peak.

1. Cycling up (edit: from Oudtshoorn on my Alpina) to camp solo in the snow on a clear full moon night twenty six years ago. Spectacular.  Snow, clear full moon, solitude, it's still an almost surreally beautiful memory decades later. That pass is Thomas Baines' seventeenth and last, and most spectacular pass IMO. 
2. Looking down on a lightning storm in the clouds below us while picnicking at the edge of the forest on the Prince Albert side of the peak with my young kids, also after snow.

Jeez Merweville is the saddest place I have been to in SA. It really is bleak and dreary with only a pretty church building to brighten it up a bit.

Sorry this was in reply to DJR earlier post. Still trying to figure out the new improved Bikehub????

Like that. ????. I knew that but thought DJR post was the last one on the topic. Only saw there was another page afterwards.

Playing on the new Bikehub is like going shopping and they have moved all the stuff in the shop to different aisles.

I think quite the opposite. Met some locals and had dinner and drinks with them last night. A lot of fun. 

Did you stop there or just pass through?

Stopped for an hour or so and walked around. Saturday morning. Everything was closed. Was a bit of a depressing place.

Feels like forever since I have done a ride that is not a commute.

Did a PPCC club ride yesterday, in the Polokwane game reserve. I then did a second loop in the reserve, solo, to make it my first century ride since 2019.

My body can feel it this morning.

During the wind and a day before the wind and age hit me....hard.

From a cracker local club TT race yesterday afternoon,  to the ER this morning after a pretty fast gravel bike fall ????

 

Had to be 'stitched' in layers the doc said, 7 internal and 13 external

Ugly, hope you recover quick

Should leave a scar to be proud of ????

A few hours break from the rain, almost enough time ???? for a 50k ride with 2 short but steep Tour de Suisse climbs to test the cassette 32T gear

Finish line on the climb, complete with bottom to top timing machine

 

 

The rain was making a comeback

Hard luck. Wishing you a good recovery.
