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

New bike?

With that weather I ended up not going to Uitkykpas for my workout. I checked on Strava and found a nice climb right after Citrusdal... I love riding that side

A climb so nice it gave me a +14w eFTP bump on intervals.icu after a 10mins all out effort, and +39w on Strava (absolutely ridiculous :D).

I think I must stick to the road bike for those workouts, the Stages PM+ovals+175 cranks on the MTB seem to give very generous results

When were you here?

Think it was Jan/ Feb? Also love the Karoo open spaces and long roads with the noisy silence.  But the headwind.... Guys at Safari campsite were great and this is why the people in the Karoo are very special.

We are one strange bunch ....

 

When the "no 1" says we MUST wear a buff we rebel .... this time of year we quickly dig out the buff again ....

So ... the road bike seems to be out of action for a while.  This means I will be spending more time on the MTB.  So Saturday a buddy and myself decided to up a hill called Blomberg not too far from us and brush up on our non existing MTB skills. He put the destination into Komoot and said to use MTB. Komoot didn't dissapoint wrt to route suggestions.  We hardly did tar sections and we did it all, dirtroad, single track, grass fields, rocky downhills, you name.

A decent long climb made up for a pretty nice view.

 

Oh and we took a beer and something to eat to swallow down while enjoying the view.

And to finish off my friend stopped us where a bee keeper he know was busy harvesting honey.  First time in my life I had fresh honey. It was bloody delicious to say the least.

One of the very best luxuries in life that! Also, a super energy gel! (My father used to keep bees)
