deanbean Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 My Yeti took me high into the mountain where I found these Porcini mushrooms (Boletus edulis). Raided a baboon troop who were also picking them. They swore at me plenty, but the foolish animals were just picking and eating the stalks, so all I had to do was to pick up the fruiting bodies and stuff my Camelback, and pockets. The advantage of riding with a Camelback. DJR, Dusty, Kranswurm and 1 other 4

We find those in the Cape from May through to September, but I've had a poor season collecting Ceps. My riding buddies know that I tend to make unannounced sudden stops in mushroom season, so they give me a wide berth on the single track. Edited October 19, 2014 by DJR Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 After a blustery week, the Fatty was the perfect machine to plough through some temporarily un-manicured trails... Cedara/ Grace College trails for the win . IMG_0873 copy.jpgThis is the first, last and only time I will be saying this, so listen carefully. That's one sexy fattie. I'd love to ride her ragged!

Wyatt Earp Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) My bike took me from Midrand to that monument on the far right and brought me here : From there it took me to that tower on the left and this is the road up to the tower : Carpet getting a head start. From that tower it took us to Fountains Valley and up to that line of trees on that little hill in the first pic.That was only the start of the days climbing.

Uni Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 went for a solo ride at Northerns .. my little tiger was much loved by the kids out on the trails. The one little guy started pedalling hard alongside me going "Squeak your tiger, Squeak your tiger" deanbean 1
RocknRolla Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Properly kakked off at Thaba on saturday PM.Can see why Notsobigben rolls with a 20 sproket. Must say the Pitchfork handled everything Thaba threw at it with the utmost finesse, man I love that fork. Took a wrong turn onto the trail running route, and hiked my bike while having some choice words for myself. No pictures...could hardly keep myself upright let alone a phone steady for a shot.
