deanbean Posted August 12, 2015 Share Spent the long weekend with my parents at Kei Mouth, so decided that a little exploration in the Transkei was in order for SatWe crossed over this river, Xolora, way above the normal crossing point. Then had a portage up a rather steep hill, the hills don't seem as steep on Google earth.The view from above tha wreck looking east then westOn the beach, at high tide, luckily neap tide so it was ridableThe view from Seagulls Edited August 12, 2015 by deanbean BenReaper, DJR and L.T.G 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanbean Posted August 12, 2015 Share Then on Monday I tested some singletrack being built at Morgan Bay. Lacking a bit of flow, and imho unsustainable with fall line trails, and no water management. I'll see in a years time after the rainy season. They were a lot of fun though BenReaper and Uni 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosebay Posted August 13, 2015 Share Commuting has been interesting this month - and tonight should be a record home trip if the wind continues to blow the way it did this morning! Last night was fun - a bit of rain then sunny.  Going past Kleinbaai harbour  Sun is out at Franskraal! Could actually see the Perseid meteor shower last night. A pic from last weeks commute deanbean, BenReaper, Veebee and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been particularly cold this year, or maybe it's just an age thing Ryanpmb and Dubber 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been particularly cold this year, or maybe it's just an age thing Early morning rides, especially over the weekend just make for a longer weekend. At leadt that's how it feels to me. With the right gear, there's no such thing as too cold. deanbean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest notmyname Posted August 15, 2015 Share Couldn't agree more Gerald. Love getting to the trails as the sun comes up. Â Against Dr's orders I did a short breedts this morning. Sorry no pictures, the wind was pumping and I couldn't get my bike to stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry no pictures, the wind was pumping and I couldn't get my bike to stand.I was out of the road this morning, damn that wind was bad.Some places where I would normally average around 60km/h downhill I was doing 30 because of the headwind, it was insane.

Early morning, but with some light. I keep the 'arrive-home-in-the-dark' rides for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted August 15, 2015 Share I agree Gerald, also have the gear, but would rather be in bed.Every time I've gone out I got back say, "I'm glad I got up and went", except for one weekend when I froze my a$$ off. That was mid-July This weekend I'm not riding, due to catching what the kids had... sinus, headache, sore throat and that warm bed.

BenReaper Posted August 16, 2015 Share Did the 30km Wolseley MTB funride yesterday with the wife,was really frustrating at times as 'race pace' was slowed down to this.I am however stil proud of my wife,even though she had to push alot and I had to help push a bit and there were tears shed she managed to finish and overtake two other couples so as not to finish dead last.[emoji122] blondeonabike, Rocket-Boy, TALUS and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
