Tumbleweed Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Not my bike, and not a stunning location, but a stunning day. Played with my boet's GT Meatball after munching down pizzas from Franco's then went down to the fields to play some footie with my kids... ... It's a real fun bike to ride once you get used to the automatic hub and coaster brake combo! Edited July 6, 2015 by Tumbleweed Bloukrans, L.T.G, deanbean and 1 other 4

RocknRolla Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Work on Saturday, took the bike to the heart of Sandton. Contractors finished way earlier than expected ( am expecting either heatwave or snow) so on the way home, I took a left on William Nicol up the spruit to Emmerentia and then home from there. As I walked into the door after my ride, I had a very eager 9 year old rearing to go for a ride.So i changed my shirt and off we went to Heia. And then some Berms The trooper rode the whole blue section on his BMX. Then Sunday, had a lekker Ride at Avianto. Weather was spectacular, and quite warm. Did not take any nutrition during the ride other than water, so I took some strain on the 7 climbs on Phambili side. All in all, after this weekend's riding, I am once again reminded how lucky I am to have such awesome riding spots close to my home BenReaper, Tumbleweed, BSG and 2 others 5
Kerchak Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Visted my parents this weekend and did a easy ride between Welkom and OD. Used to ride my bike from OD to Welkom to go and watch a movie (without my parents approval). My bike gave me so much freedom to explore and to escape from all the stuff that bothers a young teenager. 30 years later I still use my bike to explore and to escape from the stresses in the world. Amen to such a privilege.Ps. Dit is flippen plat in die Vrystaat. AJP, AlphaKilo, BSG and 2 others 5

I have ridden the rangeview koppies before, during Silverstar Casno race, as wel as socially, and I must say i think there is quite a bit of potential there, keen to check it out as well. Yes. But I still wish that they would sort out kings kloof. I Asked One of the hero blokes on Saturday but his reply was neither here nor there. Unfortunately, I don't think the owner's minds are going to be changed. I am interested however to hear the reasoning behind closing of the park, even after the initial talks about Hero running the trails . But, respect their decision, I do...as MTB Yoda would say....

But, respect their decision, I do...as MTB Yoda would say....Such a pity. Linking those three venues would be super awesome. I used to supply perlite to the rose farm a few years back. When I'm next in the area I'll stop in and ask some questions.
