So it's been a while since I rode at my regular Heia Safari stomping grounds .. and I must say, it was most fun!

 

New Section of the blue route.

 

(sorry about the glove over the lens)

Not sure if I am doing this berm thing wrong, but it feels like the berms are about a 2m too short on the exit, also not high enough on the exit. But perhaps i need to reserve judgement till I have ridden them a couple of times.

How do you find the Lauf? - worth it?

I rode the standard weight (rider > 65kg) Lauf at Redbarn

And this past weekend I rode the Light (rider <70kgs) out east of PTA.

 

Firstly, to answer the question on everyones lips, I weigh 90kgs. Okay 90ish kgs.

 

I was particularly interested in the Lauf's performance on corrugations and climbs.

 

Will gather my thoughts through the day and write a more detailed answer

Haven't contributed for a couple weeks now... so here goes, 

where my bike took me today.... (spread over the last few weeks....)

 

Avianto... hadn't ridden the East side in ages, was pleasantly surprised how less spaghetti like it is now, really good fun (West's still better though :thumbup:  )

SONDELA

I'd poo myself being so close to a beast like that! 

On Saturday I took a huge detour at Avianto to avoid a gang of carnivorous cows that were playing all innocent just waiting for me to try pass them so they could pounce and tear my flesh from my body!

(cows scare me! :blush: )

Wakaka.........Zebra headbutted a rider over the weekend during a race at Sondela.........IMO animal conspiracy.

Rode Contermanskloof and Bloemandal with Cpt armpies  El Capitan Renaissanc, oh sod it it was Myles, Raydek and my son Ben. Had a great day, although my lack of fitness really gave me pain on the climbs and as usual Ben murdered me on the descents.

 

Relaxing at the end of the Conters part of the day
