Guest notmyname Posted February 28, 2016 Share Gravel Grinding again today.Is this Breedts? If so, I'm keen to hear how the north - south descent was.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy Posted February 28, 2016 Share Is this Breedts? If so, I'm keen to hear how the north - south descent was....Yip, Breedts. The Southern side, from Hekpoort is better than the side towards Buffelspoort dam, but that is not saying much. I understand that someone in an X3 lost their sump going down the Northern side. Both are however rideable on a bicycle. Neither is much fun going down at speed on a rigid bike with 35mm tyres L.T.G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted February 28, 2016 Share Cape Point with a southeaster you all should pray blows itself out before next Sunday. Battled to get above 30 km/h going DOWN Black Hill into the teeth of it! False Bay looking like a cavalry charge of white horses! nathrix, Tumbleweed, L.T.G and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more interested in the bikes ability...Hows the quick rough stuff if you know what I mean.Ah, I see.  Going down is an exercise in slow and controlled line picking, staying off the front brake in the rough stuff and trusting momentum... But, last time I overheard a chap at the top say to his mate " Check daai f@kken mal ou. Hy's op 'n f@kken padfiets" ! nathrix, PieterJvR, DJR and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
