Where has your bike taken you today?

[capediver]

Better late than never....first attempt...if I could have seen where I was going, I probably would have turned back!

We rode around the south peninsula and in Kommetjie we came across this rhino made entirely from trash (no the bikes were not part of the sculpture). I hope my children (and grandchildren?) will still be able to see the real thing many years from now.

Wow!

Stats please, @exclusive ...

Well I would like to tell you I beat pantani`s record of 36 min from bottom to top but far from it. I rode about 28km before towards Galibier(not up it just towards it) which it all gradual uphill to loosen the legs then went up Alps D` Huez which is a climb of 1880m ish with 14km climb at average gradient of 7.6%

and 14% at steepest. I don't have all details as it was a hire bike but did take my polar with. So probably did more than 2000m ascent, took 5hours during the ride. I did it quite slow as it a privilege to do the route and you don't want it to end so I stopped at cafe`s for food drinks, photos etc. Was hot as I started at 11:00. Polar stats: Max Hr 172(94%), avg 139(76%), 3702kcal burned.

Often on some of these beautiful spring mornings, I would take the backpack with the camera along and ride along the back roads, not to get fit or get faster, but for this !!!

Great pictures Pierre! I sometimes do exactly the same thing, it's the cycling version of stopping to smell the roses.

Sh@t, its a big one. Same thing happened to me last Month when I almost went over a 2m Black Mamba, but believe you me,I almost crap my pants. And no, I didn't stop to take a nice pic, I just pedal as hard and fast as I could away from that thing...

I'm pissed scared of a snake! Would rather spend a whole day alone with my mother-in-law shopping on a hot summer day, than to be in the same room as one of those things,lol

Personally, I'd rather deal with the snake
