Where has your bike taken you today?

Tokai Forest (OK, I know there is no more forest, so I suppose we'll just have to call it Tokai from now on) with Beattbox. We were "otherwise engaged" for a few months, so it was a really delightful homecoming ride on a beautiful Cape winters day. The legs felt it a bit more than usual, but those new berms on Vasbyt were lovely and flowey. Quickly said hi to the grumpy rhinos at the office. They've become very tame.

Those ???? seems a bit stiff, must be because they think they are better protected than other wild ???? s.

Eventually went for a ride today, felt nice with the new air fork and Spez power saddle.

I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning.

I eventually left the house at 9am and went for a 50km ride round the farms outside town.

It truly was a beautifull winters day in the Western Cape. [emoji108]

Some of the local farm animals were very interested in my bike.......I think they have great taste. [emoji4]

Gotta love first ride on 'new' bike days ... Nothing fancy though just a spin around Rietvlei, blessed to be able to ride quite a bit with my son in the last few weeks [emoji3]

Some Tokai single-track footage from yesterday.

 

Disclaimer: After the second cut, I happen upon a rather unexpected steep decline section and audibly exclaim in fluent consonant-rich vernacular. This is usually the case for the full length of the clip, but thankfully this one only had one instance and I felt confident that I could share it without much reprimand

Which particularly steep section?

 

Oh - and a bit of free advice.

That's unfortunately the issue with the GoPro shooting at SuperWide-angle: You lose a lot of depth perception. Right after I say "O f****t", you'll notice that I suddenly accelerate rather briskly. Having never been on this trail, I wasn't sure what to make of that drop

 

I've actually got a brand spanking new carbon set of bars, stem, saddle and seatpost that recently got delivered after being in the post for 700 years, but sadly I ordered it before I really knew what I needed to get and what I wanted from MTB, so I'll probably be selling that and getting the right stuff, i.e. short stem and wide bars next, then fit all that together with my 1x11 upgrade bits that I've been putting together.

To work and back, meandered some, what a beautiful day before the storm! Saw that the UCT class of'17 have been a hardworking bunch,  their jumps are now waaaaaaaay beyond my level.

Just in case you thought they were little rollers........

Nice. Where is that?
