Few laps in the Paarl Arboretum after a year and a half off the bike.. Missing out on these perfect dirt sections in the middle of town when on the road bike!

PS, it's not the drone footage that make me look 20kgs overweight.. I AM 20KGS OVERWEIGHT!!

Ford Trailseeker - Banhoek

 

Should have used the GoPro .... got some pics where I could take a hand off the bars .... SO MANY more awesome pics were waiting for the GoPro .... then again, the GoPro lens would need cleaning every 500m ... 🤣

Jeez that's brave mate! I've had a go, albeit on a road bike, didn't get very far 🫣

A bit further down towards Lido there's another infamous paved climb also viciously steep, I first had a go with my gravel bike and that was OK.... I got up with a road bike a while later but I nearly thought my hamstrings were gonna be torn from the bone!

I'm told that access to it is no longer possible sadly 😢

We're prepping for the epic in March so I thought this would be a good test. Made it to the top but it was🥵🥵🥵
