Escapee.. Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 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
RocknRolla Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 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... Edge540, BenReaper, DJR and 7 others 10
henningvr Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Halfway between Machadodorp and Dullstroom. Spokey, L.T.G, Uni and 7 others 10
'Dale Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 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
hayleyearth Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Today was a great day, stated with riding the route I'll commute from work (well close by) to my new house... Uni, Frosty, Sepia and 4 others 7
hayleyearth Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 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, Uni, DJR and 11 others 14
Frosty Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 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. Bloukrans, BenReaper, Lexx and 9 others 12
L.T.G Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 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, Uni, Lexx and 4 others 7
RocknRolla Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 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... L.T.G, Tumbleweed, cbdcaffie and 5 others 8
Sepia Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Nice Hayley. Brings back fond memories when I stayed in Auckland. You are going to have a blast!

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.
