We had some proper rain today. I saw the Eerste River flowing quite full.

This morning D and I did some chores by bike. Bought a battery, shoe laces, coffee, browsed at Woodstock Cycle Works, had coffee at the Waterfront. On the way home we passed this very patriotic gate......just the right background for two classic old SA made bikes.

Sadly, the whole picture shows that the patriotic owner is also a realist..........high walls, electric fence, intercom, cameras........

Welcome to the Klein Karoo.

Stopped for a lunch snack before continuing on to van Wyksdorp.

NICE ride at Meerendal.

 

Me and my buddy has our typical ou-toppie pace around Meerendal ..... This time he brought a "younger" friend. 

 

Imaging two ou-toppies gasping for breath up stairway (and most other climbs) trying to keep up with a 20-year old ....      

 

Pushed our average speed up by 1,5km/h .... does not look like much on paper .... certainly enough to take one out of your comfort zone.  And VERY nice to realise afterwards that there is just a bit of life left in these old legs .... 

 

time to start pushing myself and to see what my body is capable of ....

 

 

 

and then a LEKKA cuppacino at Carlucci.

Finally cracked the nod for the invite only Henderson outride.

 

2 days of MTB, mates and unspoilt Easter Cape mountains

 

Hosted by the wonderful people at Irongate safari's

 

Day one pics

 

Forgotten road signs

 

 

Bikes on a bridge

 

The climbing is about to start

 

Halfway there, soon after this the road dissappeared

 

Finally at the top (almost). No road + big rocks = lots of walking

 

The top, from here we followed a 4x4 track straight down the mountain

 

And we had to get over the game fence. Cleats and all

 

The profile, check out the last bit.

Day two pics.

 

The red wine and tired leg made the decision to go short a lot easier.

 

Quick break before we start going UP

 

Portage, again

 

Steep and rocky.

 

Heading home
