We were stuck at home with the Cape Town Marathon closing the roads all around us......but D & I managed to escape the runners by mtb to ride the Rhodes Memorial to Constantia Neck route.......and back via the Cork Oak Trail, Kirstenbosch single track loop, Liesbeek River and home. Dog tired but with mile wide grins on our faces. The pictures are of the meadow below Kirstenbosch. Fantastic day to be a Capie!

Taking my new Momsem AL129 out in Magalies...Not a bad bike at all for its price.....and I am starting to enjoy the 29er effect....!

My only gripe would be the sneaky 'tapered' looking head tube that is actually not tapered at all on the inside!

Biking for pizza[emoji487] and beer [emoji482].

Two of my favorite things so guess the more I ride then I can enjoy them [emoji3][emoji3]

Bonus today was that the commune closed some roads to cars so that bicycles and other modes of transport could enjoy the roads in peace [emoji106][emoji106]13c0430f869e997cf0e04521d92a6a31.jpg9f5821ee7934defec23f1e1b766cd763.jpg

My friend and his son took part as well, the dad was the one with the Giant e-bike who started last because he just wanted to try it and wasn't in contention for any prices. He said that with his sickness (MS, reason he bought the e-bike) he really had it tough with the mud and singeltrack.

 

Hou die rubber op die grond!

I worked my lines and really tried to miss the bulk of the mud .... this riding the edges along the side of the track .... had the back step out a few times !!   :whistling:   :eek:   Made for a nice lively ride ...

 

 

even without the mud.  there were sections of the single track that had a nice rythm to it .... with a bit of speed you were constantly flicking left-right-left-right .....

 

 

Lots of people had minor spills ....  even the sweeper on his motorcycle went down once.

 

 

 

cleaned the bike when we got home.  dirt gone, memories FOREVER  :clap:
