Resurfaced Bainskloof now my favourite road ride to do in the area I smashed a cheese and bacon burger at Calabash on the way to Worcester. It was quite good, but dont bother ordering coffee. Rietdakkie was a quick refuel on the way back, i’ll stop there again for sure! They even contributed to our fundraising campaign, very friendly people indeed! Edited October 23, 2022 by gemmerbal

It has to be done Chris, can’t hide from the wind during the Munga. VERY true words. Well done gemmerbal and christovdw 1 1

Some very good riding in that area, but mostly with organised events. (Wolseley MTB festival is on the 29th of October btw...) If you venture into the Slanghoek valley there's some good stuff at the Slanghoek Cellar. Don't bother with Du Toitskloof's trails, tbh. De Wet cellar has some nice trails too. Plenty of gravel around between Worcester, McGregor, Robertson and Montagu as well if that's your fancy. Check out Komoot! The whole of Worcester has plenty of marked (via Worcester Wheelers) and unmarked trails. All is pretty much natural dirt/farm road, etc with very little to no formally built trails. The terrain is harsh with plenty of shale rock - buggers up tires! Cheers, Christo ChrisF and gemmerbal 2
daveno7 Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 as we have now thunder and lightning....a bit of a small storm moment ....got out earlier ...so happy I did...a few slides here and there....yes the rain is here... DJR and Me rida my bicycle 2
Me rida my bicycle Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) The Hills challenge yesterday close to Montagu. After a hard Friday night we were only able to open the taps around 30kms just to have a tyre cut close to the end. Luckily a bit of words and some plugs boet could ride it to the finish 👌🏻all part of the game. We were probably the only ones who felt better the further we went 🤣 Edited October 23, 2022 by Me rida my bicycle DJR, Scary Rider, ChrisF and 4 others 7
Mr Legs Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Cederberg ride: Starting at the low water bridge over the Olifants River, up the Nieuwoudt Pass, down to Algeria and then up the Uitkyk Pass to Sanddrif.

Frosty Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 Work, family and a cycle race this weekend has kept available time to ride outside to a minimum. I never thought I'd be doing 4-5 rides per week on the IDT... I guess it's better than what I did in 2010-2013, where I just didn't ride. Last night was a 90-minute endurance ride taking on these climbs; can you identify them: A - B - C - D - Scary Rider 1

It’s the long, easy rides that should be done outside. DJR and TheoG 2
