One more of those perfect days out

 

 

Little one waved at me as you were going down Chappies into Houtbay and I was going up. Clearly having a blast

Strangely, it (or something) made me feel pretty strong today. J&J doping perhaps?????

Let's hope it does that!! I see the paper now "VO2 max and muscle mass increase in post adenovirus Covid 19 vaccination in South African health workers"

That would be a shot in the arm fo sho!

Jip, Vitality run/walk events at Bloemendal.  Mostly they do stay off the MTB trails :thumbup:

Today was the Bloemendal wine run. Apparently wine tasting over a 5km route!

Francois only started riding a few months ago.  Took him on the FairCape route and then the Missing Link, both new to him.  He has done Conties before.

 

A very late start meant the heat caught us before we entered Conties ... that climb gets nasty in the heat, especially if you already have 500+m elevation in the legs ....

 

What a nice ride :thumbup:

I have been off the bike since my last post. 

The last week saw me overindulging in birthday festivities, thus my ride yesterday at VG with the missus was. Tough, to say the least.

 

Came upon this dead puffy, was smack bang in the middle of the trail. I moved it over to the rock on the side of the trail, so that scavengers may get it.

By the time we hit Greek church climb, temps were well into the 30's. I was sweating the last 3 days's beer out at an alarming rate.

Made it to the shade of the church (it was sunday after all)

Then, time for recovery at Ale House.

That looks more like a common egg eater than a puffy

Was quite thick for it's length, hence me thinking it was Puffy. I am happy to be corrected. By far no snake expert.

Also not an expert, but that distinctive  V on the head points to this being a Night Adder.
