Where has your bike taken you today?

I don't got pretty backdrops here in Benoni like you guys...

 

This from today's mindless meander...

 

 

 

 

 

...but this is sorta pretty, don't you think?

Years ago, during my apprenticeship, I used to catch the train from Benoni to Germiston College and back every day. Used to hold the sliding doors open and stand in the breeze.

A trip back there is long overdue for me, henning!

Let me know when you're coming through.

Thaba today for a great ride. Did Samuel today: what an awsomw flowy section. Has its challenges too and think i only struggled once.

 

Yafta: first attempt at the first climb and failed. Second and last attempt also failed. It seems to have just a slight steeper incline at the top where i just struggle...BUT..made everything else after that.

 

So doing Samuel and Yafta was a good achievement i think.

 

Now for the unpleasantness: Theres that section that includes some of the downhill course, you know the one with the jumps and that massive berm in the beginning. So, that corner just before the monster wall of berm, has some loose stoney stuff and my tires just gave way and mam down. Got up, checked the bike, she was fine. Checked if anyone saw, not that i can see although im sure it looked like wild animals having a brawl with all the sand that got kicked up. A few abrasions and lumps forming.

 

Shake it off and start again to roll over those jumps. What i dont understand is there is a jump just infront of the table top jump, why not just have the tabletop? Anyway, roll over the one slightly faster and the bike just bounced me around until she stopped. A small shin slap from the pedal.

 

I am certain the Merida knows she is being replaced and was angry with me so she was difficult today and not complying....lol.

 

Lekker ride though

Those loops (Samuel & Yafta) are really lekker. Those jumpy thingies where you went down are tricky. I just roll over them and hope for the best. Thaba is an awesome place.

My bike took me on the first century ride I have done since my back issues 18 months ago! My Morewood Zula took me from home to the Cradle, along the Cradle MTB track and back home. Here I am celebrating what was for me a breakthrough ride on note! 100.6km on a mixture of tar, gravel sidewalk and trail.

 

Thanks to the random stranger who took the photo for me!
