Did the blue and red route at Hero adventure Mossel Bay today.

The red route is called "the beast" and for good reason. Over 2km of very steep, loose gravely ascent, some 30%+ that I had no other choice but to push up, just not enough grip. The descents more than made up for it even though they were also very rough and slippery.

Those of you that have been around may remember me posting this pic, the little grassy down bit on the left of the pic freaked me out when I started, I took over half hour convincing to ride down.

 

Haven't ridden there in over a year due to the amount of thorns there, but today did the drop the seat and ride the stairs but an older couple walking their dog were horrified , the guy said to me but what if you come off, and the old lady said it would be slippery :)

Really enjoying venturing around the neighborhood, not much distance but lots of fun

we could've walked we were going so slow down that descent :whistling: ... when our fellow rider and photographer let us know he was going to take a pic, race pose mode kicked in ^_^

We had our final crit for the 2015/16 club champs today. 20 mins +1 lap.

I forgot to turn on the GoPro at the start, so the video below is only the final lap before the bell plus the race for the line lap.

Best possible type of road racing... would love to see more racing like this on a more regular basis.

That second picture looks like Horwood's farm? (I think that's the name of the place...)

No it's a park at the bottom of our boomed off bit of suburb. Horwoods is other side of the Vale. Don't know if our park has a name, has a spruit through it, not sure what that's called either.

I see you rode to our hood this morning, you didn't even stop by and say hi :(

I was too scared to stop in such a dodgy part of the world, haha.

I actually just went up the R25 past Modderfontein and Greenstone then over the highway, so I guess I was technically Edenvale adjacent ;)
