Have to admit, the last few weeks I've had to force myself to go ride. Once i'm on my bike I'm happy again, but the schlep of getting there has been a tad 'meh!' of late.

So yesterday the OH said let's go do those fun rides we used to - we headed off to Rosemary hill - it's been a long time (nearly 2yrs) since I was last there.

 

Apart from normal trail maintenance - they've added so many new offshoot routes and new obstacles  - and riding behind my OH - off he goes onto the bull run bits - leaving me no option but to follow -so in a way a good push me out of my comfort zone ride  - but also a lot of C'mon Uni FFS - it's not that hard  :blush:

 

If I lived closer, Rosemary Hill would most definitely be my go to place.

even after stopping for 10 minutes to 'recover' it didn't go down - so I think it was just funky. When we got going again, after about another 10 mins it dropped back down.

Cape Point!

And I mean all the way to the point. Got there so early, we were the first people. With nobody else in sight, we acted mad and rode all the way up to where the funiclair goes! Sommer a hill repeat / pukies exercise, but that's how you get to the Point....and it was soooo worth it. Even if the SANParks ranger later told us we were supposed to push our bikes! Ended with a decent recovery coffee & croissant.

We usually ride the Cape Point circuit clockwise, same as the CTCT route, but today we did it in the opposite direction. And saw this Southwards looking artwork on a split boulder between Simons Town and Smitswinkels. I have no idea how long it's been there or how many times I rode past it without noticing. Makes you wonder about how observant you are.

Hopefully he is faster than Escapee. Ive heard Escapee is so slow you need to bring a night light to get home after a 8am 40km ride.
