Ryanpmb Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Ryan, how did the X tackle that bit in your 3rd pic? Rocky and sandy, that bit is even tough on the mtb. Like I said - 'tough' day in Africa . Was a bit of an afkak up there. Had to let the bike bounce it's way through. I stopped just before where I took this photo, having come up a stretch of similar rocks - at this point there was a wash away on the left and this big rock on the right, I bailed. Took the photo. Walked a bit further and got back on at a sandy patch just in front on the left. Not ideal conditions for the wheels (I didn't let down the tyre pressure - was worried about dinging the rims and had another 40 odd kms to do which I didn't want squishy tyres for). The sand isn't too much of an issue - just need to expect that it will cut in deeper than a mtb but it gets through quickly. The unending railway gravel on the section before and after the tunnel was tough going. Edited January 18, 2015 by Ryanpmb
Wyatt Earp Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Your timing and composition is perfect - with them both sides of the SLOW sign. Make sure you rub it in a bit! Nah, I never rub it in Adhering to the road signage.......? They are good law abiding citizens .
Maniax Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Took a late afternoon ride over polka and krommerhee. Bloody hell the wind was strong. Downhill on bottelary felt like uphill -my legs were burning and I could get past 25km/h. Uphill past Palms ( which is normally a nice little knob perfect for an interval) felt like riding up Vissershok on a fixie. Loved every moment though! Brilliant ride.
NotSoBigBen Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Your timing and composition is perfect - with them both sides of the SLOW sign. Make sure you rub it in a bit! That's not the Sheriff's style Wyatt Earp 1
Track Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 2hr Fat bike ride this morning. Tough but great training! BenReaper 1
NotSoBigBen Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Great to see so many guys and girls out with their partners, families with kids on bikes and in bike seats having fun at Rietvlei. Even saw a bike trailer with a little one in yesterday. Uni 1
Mojoman Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Heading back home to Magalies on Saturday morning, lovely day, pretty hot though and my usual take-away shop was still closed so my last 20km's home was on water rations! Dusty, L.T.G, Uni and 1 other 4
Iwan Kemp Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Another Jonkershoek ride http://scontent-a.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xaf1/t51.2885-15/e15/10914162_1591986841033469_2021386141_n.jpg wanderwoman, DJR, BenReaper and 3 others 6
