Day 1 - Montagu

"Very hot day, but nevertheless an awesome day."
Stay tuned for more!  :)

 

Disclaimer: Sorry if my images (or unnecessary spaces) not in order or such. Talana has literally no signal, so I need to take my bike to go to the top. Luckily getting 4G. Publishing/editing both on my android device and ultrabook with a mobile hotspot.

Haha, sorry!  :whistling:

Just having a blast here, but sho the heat is quite challenging. Got up early-ish and the temperature was already 26 degrees.

 

Explored a little and found a awesome mini mountain, but will post that pictures tomorrow. 

 

EDIT: Want to do a morning ride to Montagu from the farm. Will think about it, it is about 50km.

Love riding around Montagu, so many dirt roads around you can literally ride for hours (as long as you take enough to drink as it gets really hot like you pointed out).  And it is a bonus that it is breathtakingly beautiful. 

 

Awesome pics by the way

Posted

Sunday I wiped at BRB , not broken, shin nice and swollen but everything still working. Lose the Samurai reamer that Wayne included with the bike. Today at Northern farm, I almost ride into this fella, it was only when I was about 50cm from him that he blinked ..that I screamed with some swearing and swerved out of the day. When I stopped to take a pic, I dropped the other part of the samurai and could not find it. not happy! Super hot out- started late, 1.5l bladder lasted just over 40km :(

 

Next ride in Dullstroom.attachicon.gifimage.jpegattachicon.gifimage.jpeg

I also saw one scurrying into the grass from the singletrack next to the river this morning. [emoji122]

FWIW, I don't like those quick cuts/edits - creates like a strobe effect - hard on old eyes like mine :(

 

I agree with you, a bit too fast. My attempt of making a quick intro of the YouTube video I uploaded. Unfortunately unable to post links on Instagram, so I have it in my bio  :(

 

Here it is, should be better to watch without getting a seizure  :P

Day 2 - Montagu

 

"What a day on the bike! Went for a 10ish ride and boy was the weather perfect! The breeze did well for me, but returning was super intense. It was pretty warm and I started to suffer. Luckily it was only a few kilometers away from home."

 

Photos were taken with my Android device, El Cheapo Point & Shoot + my trusty DSLR.
