Escapee.. Posted June 17, 2016 Share My bike took me to Thaba Trails yesterday. Thought we would explore a bit. Did 2 of the blue loops. My goodness.... After 40 min my son asks how far have we come? I say: 7km...Well we only ended up doing 23km but with 525m climbing! Had a great time HahahahaI know the feels BDF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted June 17, 2016 Share Thre really is few things that is nicer that going for a ride on one's ( see what i did there) day off. Even if its a quick one around where you live.. Even if the route has been done hundreds of times before... Uni, Edge540, henningvr and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted June 17, 2016 Share The ride to the reserve (32km) was chilly but nothing like Monday. Vest, normal summer shirt and a long sleeve shirt. I had 3/4 leggings on and could have left them at home. Long finger gloves. The rest of the ride (98km) the long sleeve came off and replaced with arm warmers. Gloves off too.Cool (pun intended) ????????????????Yeah, Monday was quite a dip in the mercury ☃☃ Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayleyearth Posted June 18, 2016 Share Then I went to explore a bit at Woodhill in Auckland west coast...where even the up rides are just single track Mess up at this narrrrrrrow section and it's a 2.5m drop op down Was quite different to be riding in a forest and still hear the sea....

Frosty Posted June 18, 2016 Share One of 4 charity rides planned for this "financial" year with the club. Today we visited a home for the aged, and dropped off lots of food shown on their wish list. Edge540, BDF, Lexx and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.T.G Posted June 18, 2016 Share Another great pedal around VG, my heaven on earth, as always filled with FUN!!!! Tant Miem's was filled with surprises under the blanket of autumn leaves... a couple of near spills and one OTB, thankfully only I picked up the scratches, not my bike Happy Father's Day to all the dad's for tomorrow Edge540, Lexx, RocknRolla and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted June 18, 2016 Share Was hoping another person posted after L.T.G's. Awesome pics. Alas. We ventured into a cold overcast winters morning, parked at silverstar casino, and went up. It was cold, and it was cold. One of our group had a sidewall cut, but the 2 very proficient males in our group managed to seal it with a couple of plugs. Then feeling that climbing 300m in 10km is just not enough.. We set off to Kingskloof. There, another puncture, another plug. And off we went again.By this time, it was warming up nicely More climbing, Nice. Then I completely demolished the invisible wall, and my legs just had no power, I guess the aftermath of being ill during the week, and not sleeping because of a sick toddler. So I took many a shortcut, and spent time basking in the now very weak winter sun... Like a lizard..while waiting for my riding partners. A shitty day on the bike is still better than a good day on the couch... Tumbleweed, BDF, cbdcaffie and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some random dog from the farm joined us for the whole 10km green route, and we kept apologising to everyone riding about this dog that insisted on sitting in the middle of the trails - and you could see nobody believed us when we kept saying it wasn't our dog...haha Definitely want to go back with a bike now I've seen the place.
