Jbr Posted August 28, 2021 Share This morning was cold and wet. Probably the first time I don’t see anyone at the top of chappies on a Saturday ! Didn’t take the leg warmers as I thought they tend to get heavy when wet… had to wring out my socks twice as I couldn’t feel my feet anymore. Cycling is so much fun ! It was a bit better in the afternoon though ! But still a bit cold !

Been considering carrying extra socks for mid ride changes rather than tubes and bombs. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted August 29, 2021 Share You were either riding or hiding here in the south of Jobeg this morning ... I suspect a lot of the latter though ???? Pikey, DJR, fanievb and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryS Posted August 29, 2021 Share Darling Brew Extreme. I did the "60km" Bone Crusher. They added an extra 10% for good measure. After 2 days of rain, the ENTIRE route was full of mud and water like this. It is the longest I have ever spent on a mountain bike in one ride. Not even Karoo 2 Coast took me this long to finish.

Jbr Posted August 29, 2021 Share Another solo ride followed by a family ride. Much more comfortable conditions today even though it’s still a bit cold (as most of the mountains around CPT shows) Scary Rider, TheoG, justinafrika and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveno7 Posted August 29, 2021 Share the cool morning mist gave way to another gentle sunny day here....the weather is on a bit of a roll here...about 20c down south here...I suppose after a few years in SA...I still need to ride with a Gillet...but a decent ride with a few lovely hills and a coffee stop....a few other road cyclists out as well...just a week left here ...so max time will be spent on the bike..????

Frosty Posted August 30, 2021 Share Was on the IDT late yesterday afternoon, as an “easy” ride, while watching the DHI World Champs. No guessing where GM’s run took place. Robbie Stewart, capediver, TheoG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
