That feeling after a good ride...

I was at jonkerskoek, did a nice run at plumer but the wind pushed me a bit off the first drop and went into the soft soil resulting in a soft crash on rocks and in that madness I opened my finger nail😑

Brackenfell to Worcester and back, 220km loop with a very lekker stop at Rietdakkie for a roosterbrood and koffie. Bainskloof looking goooood! #munga4mutts

A punchy, little climb at the end of the ride. Maybe one day I can do it IRL.

Will give Rietdakkie a try next time I do Bainskloof - Calabash just disappoints every time...

Resurfaced Bainskloof now my favourite road ride to do in the area

Just a note ... Rietdakkie is closed on Sundays.

 

Anybody with some feedback on the MTB trails that start there ?

Thursday afternoon broke through a concrete floor in the courtyard and dug a deep excavation to try and find the source of a water leak. 4 hours and a stuffed back later decided to rather let the pros handle it.  Did not sleep lekker that night. 
Friday was spent on anti inflamtories and doing stretches. By mid day I was feeling better.  But halfway through the night I was in pain and landed up not sleeping well. 
Saturday had a lekker zone 1 ride with Chad and was contemplating hitting SBR or my normal hill training route this morning. Slept better, but woke at round 5:30 when our power went out. 
When I got up I was feeling very fatigued, looked at the calendar, looked at my training progress and decided today was going to be a rest day. So went back to bed and only got up again at 8.

I was fighting the wind all the way to Worcester, with a slight reprieve on the way back until I got back on the Wellington side when it was nose down again. It has to be done Chris, can’t hide from the wind during the Munga.
