Where has your bike taken you today?

[Formallyknownas]

Went for a lap at the cradle on my red bike this morning. It was absolute bliss.

 

Those Pumpkin and feta fritters at Bidon are the business.

 

 

Edit for Hipster overload.

My type of ride.

Trying to hide from thefierce Cape Doctor, we avoided the open mountain, used the Liesbeeck up to Kirstenbosch and were delighted with the new single track loop that the Botanical Society built. Fantastic.

Great pics DJR.

Another few of Richard and Kyle

Adam (mada3400) getting his cornering on...

The group and the shuttle

Group Shot

The people shuttle following the shuttle... Not easy shuttling 16 riders with a single bakkie and a trailer. Needs to be a constant stream, and the car was needed to ferry people as well.

Your's truly... With Eddy Gordo in the background.

 

 

Following Taahir down the trail

 

And then my best run of the day, bar one which I didn't manage to get on tape. That's Thermophage talking about Next SL cranks at the end.

Oh and the video is misleading. That drop I roll down (still can't bring myself to drop it properly) has a 1.5m drop to the actual landing, but I roll it for now cos I'm a bit of a pussy. The pallet jump (where you hear me connect the wood at the end) is about the same, but faster. Yet I do it no problem (wtf?) The drop further down before the small tabletop is about 1.2m to flat. 

 

LEKKER day out.

yeah, I'm happy with the fact that the vid didn't suck! Normally it's a case of "AWESOME RUN!!! Lemme check the vid!" followed by "Oh. Yeah, I'm not gonna publish that..."
