Uni Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I'm going tomorrow to get a quote on tubeless. 3rd puncture on 5 rides FFS. Currently sitting at casualty waiting for OH to get stitched up. Wiped at the roundabout at rosemary hill. Seems there's some exposed nails. Ripped his knee open BenReaper 1
AlphaKilo Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Did 61km this morning - Broadacres plus part of Cradle Route return. The longest ride I've done and I'm now really feeling it. [emoji16] The road parts were ok, but the district roads and single track were the bomb! MrFine and BenReaper 2

Getting light headed now just thinking about it. The doctor at casualty asked what happened. .. oh says mountain biking. .. he laughed and said another one. ... warning for the squeamish...

deanbean Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Had a great trundle into the Transkei. Met and chatted to many locals, including a few chaps transporting firewood with a sled, anda rasta fisherman. Wheels don't work on the local tracks. Never took pics though because I forgot my camera, and I wasn't about to pull out my phone. Edited June 16, 2015 by deanbean

DJR Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Gxara River Just South of Dwesa? If that's the case, you should always carry a flyrod with you when you go there. deanbean 1
deanbean Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Just South of Dwesa? If that's the case, you should always carry a flyrod with you when you go there.No, just North of the Kei. Both the estuaries, the Gxara and the Kobonqaba, and another have good pops of Leeries and springer. And the rasta fisherman told me about another river too, which should be worth a try.The fly rod was left at home though. I need a 4 piece to take with me. My 3 piece is just too long.
