The Ouzo Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 I used to do hill repeats up those hills when I still lived in Alberton. If you head left at the top of that hill it will take you down to a dead end. I recall doing seated climbs up there with the front wheel lifting on every power stroke. https://www.strava.com/segments/6220689 Strava says it gets over 20% nearer the top 'Dale and Frosty 1 1

Mojoman Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) My ride at lunctime.... So frustrating to see this on a ride..Must have been dumped last night.....And its right where a race goes by this weekend... What a scruffy and careless town I live in...(The official dump is about 6km from here....) (99% sure I know who it was and did go and speak to them...Hopefully its gone by tomorrow....but still....Filthy Savages!) Edited June 4, 2021 by Mojoman DJR, TheoG and gummibear 3

I've started comparing these types of climbs based on VAM for each person. That is pretty good going, compared to the hills we have in the south (Glenvista and surrounds). Not as long, but as steep; not as fast. The Ouzo 1

There is always evidence to be found in those piles of rubbish....I just don't know why people do it to begin with.... Anyway both a bad and good start to the weekend... Good evening, I was informed about it this afternoon, immediately I despatched the team to go and clean the rubbish that was there. Disciplinary hearing will follow with the employee who did this to the community. Thank you for your email, I really appreciate it Zebra 1

Kidding aside, when I ride to the trails it's sad to see just how much trash is on the side of the road sometimes.
