Pofadder at VG is renowned for being a hard, tough and a rather technical route.

It's often used as part of Epic training routes.

It was Erik's birthday this week and when I rang him to wish him the happy happy, all he could talk about was the new Pofadder he's spent the last 3 weeks making and is super excited about.

WOW! WOW! WOWWWWW!!!!

It's awesome! 

The elevator up is what he's beautifully  made and is an amazing ride, the technical descent has been tidied up but still very tricky yet awesome fun!

I HIGHLY recommend this route when you head out to VG :clap:  :clap:

a bit of a late start after a mate had a mechanical as we started, but we still managed most of the sunrise

This is taken not long after the start, looking down onto the singletrack that snakes up the start or on to Tant Miems/Daggapad etc

This isn't even the top of the climb and already the views are amazing.

To the right you can see Haarties

We must get around to that "get together" that's been on the cards since forever.

Maybe plan a group ride for a couple people that'd like a show around.

Today, nowhere. The next three days: along the beautiful coastline of the Netherlands, all the way up to Haarlem +/-250km! Weather forecast looks perfect: around 23° with a slight headwind. Very excited :-)

 

I'll try to post pictures but my mobile phone doesn't seem to like thuis website.

I'm jealous as all hell. Today Cape Town is miserably cold, wet and with a forecast of snow on the surrounding mountains. I'm not as robust as I used to be. Think I'll sleep late.
