Eddy Gordo Posted December 18, 2017 Share Was about to head out today, My Bike well, I have a cable tie holding the front caliper in place, thanks to CAPEDIVER for the pliers to trim it. I was gonna pop on a new bolt and go check out the skills park at Hoogies then the wifes cousin rocked up, "watte murre will jy uit kap" Huh what, you want to knock out walls???? End result 30min ago, just finished "tidying up" . Anyway my first 2 days of leave some hard manual labour, and a lekker frustration reliever with a 10 pound sledge hammer. Round 2 tom, 1 more wall and I am out of here DJR and capediver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane_Bosch Posted December 19, 2017 Share That was a fun morning out. I find it amazing that all of that stuff is free. Eden, Mont Marie, g spot, Coetzenberg.

NotSoBigBen Posted December 19, 2017 Share Just out and about Jobeg Souf as I do ... Must say that bike is a hell of a lot more fun off road with those 'CX' style extra brake levers [emoji41] Thanks to Pikey for the pull along RWB road into the wind, strong like Mother Russia that guy! Had to laugh at another local Mark 'The Loneranger' ...

ChrisF Posted December 19, 2017 Share Calvinia in the mirror .... lunch in Kakamas ... then on to Plato Lodge. OFF the beaten track !! But what a GEM !!!!! Cycling routes ... uhm ja .... a spoor is marked from the lodge .... and then you have full access to any route along the farm. The typical "route sheet" that is handed out is about 8km of steady climb, and then a very nice and relaxing 8km of return trip. Nice large oval route, with LOTS to see. But the route is hardly a general guide - with full permission from the farmer - you can turn off the route at any point and follow a twee-spoor, or animal tracks, or just meander up a koppie ..... first of many kwiver trees - one of many photo opportunities - On top of the world - Okay ... on top of the koppie ... but WHAT a view all round !!! And if you look a bit closer, despite the drought the 10mm rain of last month has prepared a feast for the eyes - Another "koker boom" - It may look like a dried out bush - But look a bit closer Must the SLOWEST ride I have ever done .... but certainly one of the most memorable .... Time to rest for the next ride ... fanievb, MTBeer, leeubok and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
