DJR Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I Iooked out the window this morning and saw that it was drizzling, in Cape Town, ..... and thought that it would be great to get the mountain bike a little muddy for a change, seeing that it has only eaten dust for the last few months. But NEVER, not in a million years, would I have guessed what was about to happen! MAGIC! As I rode out the front gate, I must have slipped through a previously unnoticed worm hole or portal of some kind, because after the first climb I found myself in Holland! Seeing that I did a bit too much celebrating this weekend, I took no notice and carried on....... SwissVan, Stretched@Birth, Lurch the stalker and 5 others 8
DJR Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Around the corner I ended up in Ivy League country. THAT's where I realized there must have been something in the cigar I enjoyed last night. Could have sworn I was in Cambridge! I was so worried about my mental health that I stopped to take a picture! henningvr, BSG, BigDL and 6 others 9
DJR Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) I don't know how I crossed the Channel, but before long I found myself in France Edited January 7, 2018 by DJR Reme Le Hane, Andrew_Smith, Lurch the stalker and 4 others 7
DJR Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I couldn't turn back, because the Trance kept on pulling me up the mountain and along ancient oak lined forest single track........all the way deeper into Europe Andrew_Smith, Lurch the stalker, Reme Le Hane and 3 others 6
DJR Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I came across monuments to forgotten heroes SwissVan, BigDL, Lurch the stalker and 3 others 6
DJR Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) From there on higher up I cannot show you much, because it was covered in fog and rain, but I could feel the Med was on my right and the mountains on my left. Edited January 7, 2018 by DJR BigDL and Lurch the stalker 2
DJR Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) The last thing I saw before waking up, was an ancient Roman ruin that looked like a lion cage or an amphitheatre of some kind. Now my legs are sore and I am so hungry I can eat a huge bowl of pasta.........must have been a strange kind of dream, I think! Couldn't have been real because it rained, and I got sopping wet, and this is Cape Town! Edited January 7, 2018 by DJR Reme Le Hane, BigDL, Rocket-Boy and 7 others 10
fanievb Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Back from the tempo session. Not as hot as die Vrystaat but the humidity was up there. Now for some Grand Tour binging (the type with the fat smoker, not the skinny bike okes) Andrew_Smith, Reme Le Hane, BigDL and 3 others 6
BigDL Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 First outdoor ride of the year yesterday - flipping cold, very wet, fallen trees to climb over / around, but very lekker to be out. About 2 wet degrees throughout the ride. Andrew_Smith, Lurch the stalker, Reme Le Hane and 2 others 5

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Got sick and tired if waiting for the weather to clear, so I just went for it. Conditions turned out to be perfect. Yes, I have a roadie. No, my legs aren't shaved. Yes, my beard is ginger. https://instagram.com/p/Bdp-WWVjWih/ NotSoBigBen, karma, DJR and 5 others 8
