Even more so as am going to Switzerland/ Zug the week I get back . Going to miss the sun sooooo much 😢😢😢 Expand a good part of SA is bound for the early 40's today. That's quite a hop from 40's to negative temps. I can only imagine the shock to the system. Pikey 1

We rode past on Tuesday morning and could still smell the smoke while the firefighters were sitting on the railing having some breakfast and enjoying that exact view. Glad they got it under control! throttles, Robbie Stewart, Meezo and 1 other 4

So, now you only have to worry about the criminals again. Pity they can't shoot those so easily, they kill many more people than tigers.

I need to harden up when I get back and keep pedalling. Expand It is my first winter on this muddy island🏝️. Base layers, shoe covers and winter gloves makes the rides more pleasant. It also helps if there is a group waiting for you. Its very tempting to stay in bed on these cold mornings. Pikey 1

Expand It is Thaba, it’s looking great at the moment, honestly haven’t ridden there since they started with the estate. Some of the trails could do with some work after the rains, but other than that everything is in a great condition.

Expand Winters are definitely tough to keep the faith and keep pedalling . I have taken to running in the past come February, as I just can’t do the cold anymore . Having people waiting is a massive draw card to getting out there. That’s what I need. I always ride solo in the uk and mostly solo in SA. The mud is also a big factor and doesn’t play well with my need to clean my bike always . Summers are awesome though , can’t beat them . All 5 days 😂 ChrisF 1

The new red route is a proper challenge, but really rewarding. Even though I was proper knackered , loved it👌 devvydoesdonuts 1
