Well I feel totally inadequate to post here now after that ride of Velouria and his mates.

At least I can save some face by sharing my ride from Wednesday. Did about 32km with 820m of climbing. f7696c4d354596ab9e2e1f3e20bf5f6e.jpgThis was my first ride this year thst lasted till dark, maybe its because I'm so slow, or maybe because I only set out at 6:15pm in the evenings, either way it ain't a bad thing. dccd52b67c74eb6d813712eafb9b3158.jpg

I know we need the rain but what a pleasure it was to ride in ZERO mud today!

Trails were/are so flippen fast, even though the ride ended in near drama (tears of laughter and maybe even a little wee instead) FUN Gaalens delivered the goods properly today!!

 

Nice to see this strange thing called the sun for a change...

Then ... when crossing a hanging bridge, one should cease to "race" and go one at a time.. otherwise a trampoline effect occurs :D

One mate almost got bounced off but luckily got entangled in the ropes instead.

the immediate reaction of the rider and apparent friend behind... take a photo... then help  :lol:

Lekker short ride this am. Weather was lekker cool and there was a few drops of rain just before I got home.

 

"Keep the rubber on the gravel "

PS: Anyone interested in dam walls, Google "Wolwedans Dam, Groot Brak Rivier", very interesting method they built the wall and apparently the biggest wall that has been built by this method in the Southern hemisphere.
