Saturday club ride with 5 others; no planned route, just riding and turning when someone suggests it. Still as hot as last weekend.

Franschhoek -

Apparently sometimes open with a stop.n.go single lane portion.

 

No idea when this will be back to normal.

 

Serious damage to a number of our coffee stops ....

 

Has anybody cycled up Franschhoek pass recently ?

 

Sounds like there is a stop-go arrangement on weekdays.  No idea if we can cycle up there on weekends

Took a break from the trails and went city-slicking for a change to spot the new Brisbane bridges. 
 

I think times are getting tough even in first world nations though. The cycle paths by the river are becoming a homeless shanty town in places - that just reminds me of the Spruit. 26A0A42E-01F3-4CBC-969F-9D9C3631D08E.jpeg.1807a45bc86ad211ebb6ada63dca4d78.jpeg

300m from home I saw a friend out on his road bike .... also heading out on Bottelary .... cold legs ... on the rev limiter ....

 

At the foot of Helshoogte I was sipping on my gummy-berry-juice when a young rider on a road bike past me ...  No problem, as soon as the climb kicks in I will pass ... NOPE :eek:  This young rider was motoring up Hellshoogte !!

I had PB's in every segment chasing the rider .... only just managed to get to the top at the same time ... RESPECT !!!

 

The tree lined scene past Pniel will never get old.

The pass is open for vehicles (not trucks).  Couple of stop-go sections -

Going to be a big project to properly repair and protect this pass from future storms.

Desktop background quality photo.

I'm actually very jealous of him riding there. The closest I've done to cycling in greece was as a youngster with my cousins cruising around the village on bicycles close to where these pics are taken.
