On a clear day you look down on Robertson and McGregor, unfortunately it was a bit overcast on that side.

If you add Burgers pass to the ride its a cool 1000m climb to the top, giving Jonaskop a go.

Was a memorable ride!

Cycled down the downlink today, about 60 kms from where I live to Brighton Pier. Been raining a lot this week so lots of mud and long water stretches. Prediction for today was more rain and strong winds with temps around 10 degrees. Was whatsapping my mate around 6:30 to decide if we were going to go or not. But being manly men there really was only one option. We arranged to meet around the 30 km mark as he comes in from Gatwick area. 

up to around 35 km’s conditions were ok. A lil rain , my feet were wet and getting a lil frozen but nothing hectic. From 35km’s it just got crazy, high winds, pelting rain and mate got a puncture.  But alas in for a penny in for a pound. Only thing that kept me going was the promise of a bunny chow and Hansa. Caught the train back. Public transport for the win. 
 

place called African Chow in Brighton. Brilliant food, reminds me of Britannia.

Went out on the winter road bike this morning to burn some calories before a few beers this arvie. Bike is a Lapierre CP500 with Hunt wheels. Been a fantastic workhorse over the years.

…Newlands, Bunny Chow and Hansa; man, sounds more like you back in good ol SA than ‘Blighty’! 😆

Nice pics, enjoy, Chris (Flying Brick).
