Where has your bike taken you today?

[Vetseun]

Sjo luckily the States (Freestate) and Karoo is flat for the start and basically, what 3/4 of the way? Are you going to swop it for a smaller ring if necessary later on in the race?

Ja I might swop it at the end. As you said it is flat here. Mike Woolnough klapped it all the way on a 36t ring last year. But, that is Mike Woolnough endurance machine not Vetseun from Bloem eating machine.

Havent weighed it yet Gummi.

A mate is also doing Munga.

We did a 100km a week ago. Fully laden his bike is about 25kg (I guess)

He is moer fast on the down hills.

After the ride he said he needs to rethink his packing strategy.

That big ball bag sways quite a lot and screws with the weight distribution of the bike.

 

I've got a 150km planned for the weekend of the 21st (2500m ascent) so we can test the new packing strategy.

 

Sterkte vorentoe Vettes!

Nice!

 

What pedals are you riding with, are they comfy for all those long rides?

Went up (or down, actually, over here) the West Coast. The world's longest jetty in a town called Busselton

Club weekend in the wild coast, lots of beers were drunk and major *** spoken. Great fun.

Moonrise over the Seagulls Hotel pub at Qolorha mouth

 

Some disinterested locals

 

Upper reaches of the Kei river estuary

 

Lunch and beers at the Gxara Falls, it was the first time I've been here, despite walking and riding up the Wild coast for many many years, and it's only a few km from the Kei River

 

And of course it all ends at the Shebeen

 

Sunday ride I was lazy, and only took one pic,

overlooking the Kobonqaba river.
