Where has your bike taken you today?

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 :-)

Hope you have a compact crank

 

Aaah my kind of terrain ????

Had a short jaunt at Waterberg Game Lodge to test my hand out after some surgery.

Didn't get round to riding much this week, but on Thursday I finally finished building over the parts from my roadbike onto a new frame.

Dropped about half a kg on the frame alone, so although this bike is still heavy by road standards its already faster than it was before.

Next upgrade will be groupset, but for now I'll just 'ride upgrades'.

Yesterday evening when I came home from work my little guy wanted some attention, he asked me if I wanted to either swim or play Playstation?

I suggested 'cycling? ' and his eyes lit up. ☺

Meerendal. Park run, then ride. Summer is on its way... hot at 09:30 already.

Took my new baby out for first ride - just went to NF as I wanted some familiar terrain -OMG what a pleasure to ride this bike.

 

The narrow handlebars is going to take some getting use to, over steered a couple of times through some of the ST. Brakes might need some bleeding, and on a easy ride the gear ratio felt perfect considering I'm coming off a3x9 to the 1x10 - only long jeep track climbs, and had no issues - I even dropped the OH on the climbs - much to his dismay ( though he was nursing a hangover, I'll give him that - so red 29ers are faster

 

Will need to pop in to Thaba and test her out on some more technical stuff, but I think I'm in love. ❤️????

We have a friend in Tenerife who does guided MTB rides. He's been busy this last few weeks.

We had an absolutely idyllic wind-free Atlantic ride, a rarity this year. But don't let the bikes in the foreground distract you.

 

Look carefully at the picture, you'll see the white splash of a humpback wale breaching halfway to the horison off Llandudno. Sorry, I don't have a drone to fly out there and film it. (Thanks to the fellow rider who showed us the close up footage on her phone.) I haven't seen the ocean quite as beautiful and clear as this year. Beattbox (who is an expert on all things nautical) tells me that it is because of the constant southeaster. So, it not only makes us stronger!

Wow, DJR

Beautiful. The view and the bikes. How's the Colnago treating you?

Feeling like an old friend already.
