Nice ride at Meerendal with Maritz ... he was getting very comfortable with our normal ride, so I extended the ride a bit ....

 

Normal route up to the pump track.  Few laps of the big pump track ... my heart still skips a beat when he rides over that wooden section 5 miles in the air ....

 

Then took the long climb to join the route after stairway-to-heaven .... he had to walk the the last steep section.  Contour line to Burry Stander.  I knew those sharp and steep turns of the climb would be a bit much for 6-year old legs ...  he got half way round, then walked a few steps before peddling again.

 

 

And then it was the single-track downhill section of Burry .... He was very cautious .... but full of smiles !

 

Then the adventure section ... this he knows, and he was having so much fun.

 

NOPE ... no stopping now .. he wants to do the section along the dam and all the way to the tar road and back.

 

11,4km trip, with a few water stops.  Maritz IMPRESSED me !!!

 

WOW ..... he has some heart !!!  :thumbup:

 

 

At Carlucci it was time for a full sized milkshake.  :clap:

 

 

 

NO, he did not make it home .... fell asleep in the car, and had to be carried in, and is still sleeping.   :whistling:  :thumbup:
