nox1111 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 My training is not even close to up-to-date and so yesterday morning I slipped out and did a dawnie ride from Welgevonden towards Paarl. Just thought I'd see how it goes, and ended up doing a long-ish ride past Elsenburg, Eenzaamhuid (worst dirt road I've ever been on - stutterbumps for days -I may or may not have swallowed one of my teeth), Agter Paarl, and then past Simondium and over Helshoogte pass and back.Pretty hard for my current fitness state, but still excellent ride.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Such envy look at this thread. Mine's taken me nowhere today (or this week) due to me being stuck at the ANC conference in Midrand. And just listening to that is pretty depressing. But on Tuesday when back - going to hit Jonkershoek. I hear there are new trails?Not fully open yet, Simon. Best wait for the official announcement before hitting the new new trails. SA Nationals track is open though. As are a couple others. Just not the red and black just yet.

NixM Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Been ages since I took the road bike out before work, needed to test a new saddle before the little race this weekend. Cycling is good for what's wrong with me. gummibear, EmptyB, L.T.G and 2 others 5

Bonus Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Thought you were in Spain.Back from Spain to sell up and arrange removals etc while our architect finishes the building drawings. He's due to be done end of Oct, we should have planning permission sorted out be end of Nov and then I'll go back and start. Realistically might not go back til after Christmas though - so we can spend time with family. Meanwhile I'm chilling out and riding as much as pos. :-) gummibear and BSG 2
