Where has your bike taken you today?

Bike didn't take me anywhere. Daughter has a dance competition from yesterday afternoon until tomorrow.

 

Managed to bump into some club mates on the road. So I stopped ahead and waited, and waited, and waited some more to get this shot.

I fear I might have become a roadie...

Awesome ride around Pretoria today, thanks to the Velo guys dragging me along for a stretch!

Did you do hat long ride with the Velo guys? Maybe you met my friend Luis?

Nope, they caught me along Boschkop, thank goodness, the wind was giving me a spanking!

I took my bike to Thaba today, then it took me for a tough ride! Like R&R said, start Lete and it gets hot! Did 47km in total. Quite messed afterward.

Resting:

I also rode this loop for the first time. post-43948-0-39468100-1474720014_thumb.jpg Very lekker. Trouble is it leads to a whole bunch of other Blue route loops which (for me) were very difficult and I had to port a few sections. Skills training is big at Thaba!

As part of my ride, did a new route (well, new to me) at FUN Gaalens on this scorcher of a morning...

It's an alternative to coming down from the Greek Church the regular, also very FUN, way...

But this section ... WOW!!!!!!!!! :clap:  soooooooo good!!

Problem is it might not always be open to riders :thumbdown:

It's on a game farm that's being fenced off and the landowners more than likely won't allow riders on :mellow:

BUT... there's still hope and it's still there to be ridden for now, so i'll be making good use of it in the weeks to come  :thumbup:

Pics don't do it justice though.

If you're able to ride at VG, I HIGHLY  recommend this route!

It would appear that once again I was in a group of riders with Gerald but have yet to meet him ..... That is until they dropped me like a bad habit at about 17k's [emoji15]

 

Long time since I've been to a race with cardboard numbers and manual timing, good fun morning out.
