My best Dorsberg memory. You heavier guys will appreciate this.

 

one morning on my way to dorsberg, I came across a guy on his way to meerendal in the Kenridge area, so we decided to travel together.

 

Now to put this into perspective, at the time I weighed about 115kg's and the guy who joined was much the same.

 

Upon reaching the top of dorsberg, now understand to get my bulk up that hill, no stopping, takes some effort, we ended up hanging unto the bench just trying to catch some breath.

 

Whilst doing this a thin scrawny guy came wizzing up, greeted us very friendly and proceeded to go back down again, not looking tired at all.

 

Not feeling great about my suffering my new riding mate made the best comment ever.

 

He told me that he took a dump that morning that weighed more than that bloke.

Our newly formed Groot Brak Mountain biker's group ride tonight. A quickie 28.1km.05704a1c25ec3125eac021a94464b2dd.jpgf519dffc0d95bf88cda182433bf870f9.jpgf5b30d767f27a62a00bbb6ccea3c678f.jpg2c663b2d58b393305900e0cb036668b7.jpg2d8136e4caa5953401fcdb05d1747963.jpg

I think I need to change over to Lucky Strike cigarettes as the Camels are throwing me off or better maybe to stop being the sucker.

I know I cant do it now ... But I also KNOW that with each trip I will cycle up a bit further.  How's this for a personal challenge - for my 50th birthday I would like to cycle up there, ALL the way.

Modderfontein, JHB...Love the Wednesday night rides. Still a little cool, but summer is coming!

That's one serious looking light you've got there [emoji274]

Night rides get tricky at speed :whistling:  I like the "all-in-one" light without battery packs and wires dangling all over the show. It is a tad heavy, but super bright with good battery life...
