Went for a slow and lazy Sunday afternoon ride. I was so relaxed that I didn't see some tree branches hanging over the road, and the tip of one went into the top of my helmet. Luckily I kept my head...

Amazing the power water has. This river was in flood about 2 weeks ago and afterwards we couldn't believe how it moved big boulders around. You could actually hear the boulders banging against each other under the water

Slow slow spin around the complex , I'm still sporting a broken ankle after W2W but even a 200 meter pedal makes me smile .

Yoh, the new black on black!!! :eek:

Think I would of had a quick swim in the heat at that time of the day..

I did contemplate taking a dip in the pool at the bottom , but there were people on the dam wall looking down at me when I got there, and I don't think they'd have appreciated me doing a bit of skinny dipping. [emoji6]

I'm in Tenerife for the moment, (in pursuit of a bit of sunshine).

You guys might find me a sissy but the mountains here scare me when it comes to cycling! The climbs are way to steep, easily 7-10% and more and constant hairpin turns. Even by car, you have to stay in 1st gear to get uphill. Chappies is a molehill compared to these roads. And as for downhill, I'd be too scared to cycle relaxed and safely..

But beautiful island, that is true :-)

Wow! Yeah. Did some Alps riding this year. 12% in places. And sustained. You know you are on a steep climb when 7% is rest. Suikerbossie is 7 at its steepest.

Feels like NOWHERE lately  :thumbdown:  - still not over whatever it is I have been struggling with for over a month :( - just stare at the cycling related stuff standing around in my study and get more miff!
