My first outing at Koeberg.

 

we got there minutes after sunrise ... to a crisp 6 degrees ..... did not look like a good idea then.

 

but as soon as we hit the trail it was AWESOME !!

 

thin mist layer in the air.  fresh dear tracks along the trail.

 

First time since 1999 that I did more than 20km (22km) in a single ride !  GLAD that it all went good, and looking forward to many more such rides !!  (sodra ek weer op n saal kan sit).  I was very cautious, and kept working the gears to protect my knees, still managed a 17,2km/h average - and we took time to smell the roses (or rather to listen to the waves).  Knees are fine, legs are good, but the butt is feeling it ...

It may not look like the fancy coffee shops the okes in CPT has, but you won't find a colder coke anywhere else

My first outing at Koeberg.

 

................

As much as we like to hammer Escom, the one good thing I can say about them is the way they restored their land surrounding Koeberg. It used to be a totally alien infested sterile wasteland in terms of biodiversity. Now it is an absolute joy to see the indigenous fynbos plants and animals thrive. Not just the bigger things like the antelope, but also the birds and smaller animals. It is particularly good to see how the natural wetlands returned after eradication of the Port Jackson. I suppose it all worked out because there was no money big enough to be skimmed from that particular conservation project.

Swellendam Around The Pot mtb. 95km with 1500m elevation. Lekker
