Odinson Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Spent yesterday and today In Bouillon. It's on the French border and it's beautiful! MTB paradise. It was one sphincter-busting climb to get to this point. Tumbleweed, DJR, BSG and 13 others 16

BenReaper Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Took a week off from work last week. Did some roadtripping with the family. First stop was Oudshoorn where we stayed for a few days. On the Monday evening I decided to go check out the town and found some trails in the koppies around the reservoir. Found some of the statutes and buildings very interesting.

NotSoBigBen Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Spent the weekend camping at Malonjeni guest farm near Heidelberg (OutdoorX show was on). Just rode on the local district sand roads ..... Man it was cold Sat and Sun morning [emoji15] BenReaper, Dusty, Tumbleweed and 4 others 7
BenReaper Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 I believe if you treat people good, people will treat you good. After a bit of looking and askingvaround I found a small trail network on a farm outside Oudtshoorn. These trails are currently closed to the public, but I was granted permission by the owners, one of them a SA pro mtb rider, to ride here. Although a bit unkept, these trails proved to be great fun and had some beautifull scenery. And I was blessed with a beautifull sunrise.

Sent from my D5803 using TapatalkHaai Bennie, ek was by die fietswinkel in Oudshoorn ook om te hoor van roetes om te ry. Die ou by di fietswinkel het my na die koppies buite die dorp verwys en gese hulle het nie eintlik trails rondom Oudshoorn nie en ek moet maar op die jeeptrack en voetpaaie rondom die reservoir gaan ry. Was toe gelukkig genoeg om hierdie trail netwerk te vind en permisie by bo-genoemde te verkry om daar te ry. Het sommer tuis gevoel in die klein karoo. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk
BenReaper Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 From Oudshoorn we moved on to Gansbay to spend a few days there. I mamaged one ride on Thursday morning. Was an utterly bad ride, riddled with many problems and had me reconsider cycling. Luckely my love for the sport stood strong. I managed to snap a few pics even though I felt so miserable. Up until this sunrise everything was stil fine..... This pic is from the hills above Franskraal facing towards 'die plaat' outside Gansbay.Got lost a few times on my way up, poor reception saw me struggling to find my way and I eventually found the right road, aptly named The Sandpit. This is halfway down the hill overlooking Franskraal. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk BSG, Blokman, Fruity and 9 others 12
