Guest notmyname Posted February 28, 2016 Share 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" !Bwaaaahahahaha. Mal foker!

deanbean Posted February 28, 2016 Share We did a very muddy Stutt High School MTB yesterday, with a sh$tload of climbing, 2240m climbing in 60km, even the 45km race had 1300m of climbing, what you get having a non-cyclist setting up the course, but it was lekker, some interesting new tracks The first long hill, luckily on gravel to get your legs used to the ups A view of Gubu dam and Rance Timber sawmill (one of the sponsors) and the track L.T.G, Uni, Vetseun and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni Posted February 28, 2016 Share I have a friend that hates dirt, bugs etc. you won't find her without disinfectant wipes, - somehow I managed to convince her to try riding mtb with me.All week leading up to it, she's been like a child before Christmas - our conversations have been along these lines On the day I had great nostalgic moments holding onto the saddle while she got on. I felt like a proud parent and she went up and down the path, then managed her first turn. That's her in the distance. She had one tumble but I think that was more out of fatigue. After pushing up the hills, she said she'd do it again I might have bought another one over to the dirty side. Then for my me time today, went exploring around Linbro Park. Must admit I was a bit anxious about security but I drive through there nearly every day, and I've been looking at the options. I wandered down a path that lead to an abandoned construction site , and apart from one douche that started with his whole I love you baby crap, everyone else I encountered was super friendly.

amasendeinja Posted February 28, 2016 Share First ride on the Mercer Hungry Monkey...on the Spruit (pink tickets were in short supply). Very wet and muddy and involved a head-on collision and an OTB ????. No damage done other than to the ego. Not really a test of its mettle, but was awesome nonetheless... nathrix, BenReaper, Tumbleweed and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
