Another great time on the bike today.

We left our usual home of Midrand, from there we went through Woodmead and past the Gautrain in Malboro too Linbro.

 

Going in to Linbro we were taken back by the incredible site of thousands of pigeons circling the sky.

 

The home to the Million Dollar Pigeoon race is in Linbro, there was a chap on the roof with a flag and a mean whistle training his vöele.

Those birds were amazing. They just goes on and on and on...

And my oh my the head wind was lekker strong on the way back.

This was the first time I went down 3 sisters and had to peddle to get to the bottom.

 

I enjoyed the east rand roads they are lekker fast and flat.

how the heck did you do that?

 

In service to the mountain. Whilst trail building in Tokai. Shaping a tree stump to form part of the beginning of an off camber corner.

 

Swinging an axe on the horizontal (cutting back what I had chipped off on the vertical) and on the swing in, my knee hyper-extended inwards. Felt and heard the ligaments and meniscus crossing and popping. Caught it in time to pop it back into place with a counter rotation that sounded like a crash-change gone wrong.

 

3 pops. Pop pop pop. Then the return.

 

That was 30 to 45 mins into the build. I still had to walk back UP the trail to get to the cars.

 

Eina does not begin to describe it.

Ah Man! I feel your pain.
