It's quite loose at the moment but also a gentle reminder for me is that this is our normal riding conditions

It was a whole lot of fun. The climbs weren't too difficult and the single track coming down felt endless.

Would really love to give the DH track a try next time, it looks like a nice challenge.

It was quite loose, but no worse than the trails out in Paarl/Wellington.

Holidays coming to an end ... ☹️

Easy and slow along Karwyderskraal.

I have good and bad memories of that bridge from last year.
The good ride was on day 1 of my holiday, and the bad was the last day (gippo guts on a ride is horrible; especially when wearing bib shorts).

Had to stick to the road on my MTB as there has been lots of rain.

Experienced 4 seasons in one ride.

The rivers around here are full and flowing strongly!

I was just looking through the segments I did on my Tokai ride two days ago, and noticed that a number of segments had insane KOM times.

I'm happy to admit that I'm not the fastest rider around, but I found this particular segment leaderboard difficult to believe....

Segment is "Top of vasbyt to first corner".

The mercury is rising in Slaapstadt, hey; time for the high strength sunblock

90% of the segments in Tokai are either old (pre fire and post fire) or severally skewed with gps drift...

Full trail segments are better gauge but consider times post fires to see where how close you are to those times. I know pick a fast rider and see how far I'm off from him or her, in this case the KOM there is Theo Erlangsen who probably skipped the corners but gapping 60% of the trail dark fest style

There was an idea back in the day to contact strava to wipe all the create segments and recreate them post fires, just seemed too much admin.

[Eddy Gordo]

That I dont think is a strava problem. It comes in when data is imported from different gps devices and file types. Wiping the segments and then recreating them, will just end up with similar results.

Cycled from home, then met up with a friend at the trails.

 

He only started riding in 2020 .... he took a couple of breathers .... but got to the top without walking.

Hey, some guys prefer a white Speedo at Clifton; some guys prefer white dancing shoes when on the road. 😙

You get my vote. I would much rather see your white dancing shoes opposed to white Speedo's any day of the week.

For the record, those shoes look sharp. Nice.
