Who knows the trails on table mountain? Have seen some awesome single track vids but can't seem to find any decent info. Anybody riding there regularly that won't mind 2 grap gatte joining sometime I would really appreciate it.

There's a thursday night ride that starts most weeks at 17h30 sharp from Union Avenue in tamboerskloof. Takes in most of the trails on TM most of the time.

Later afternoon ride at Bloemendal.  100m ahead of us was another father and son doing B-Spot.  The kid was on a 20'', and motoring along !!

 

Maritz took up the challange and dropped his shoulders and did his best ever time around B-Spot, catching the other kid towards the end of the lap.

 

 

Turns out the other kid is also 7 years old, and pretty handy on his bike !!

 

 

They wanted a 2 round of B-Spot, this time Maritz had to lead the way .... at the end of the two laps they averaged 12,4km/h !! :thumbup:

 

We stopped for some water, and then Maritz says that he wants to ride the hill up to the Eskom lines ...  :eek:  Now I KNOW Maritz, and I know his limits regarding hills .... what I did not bargain on was the benefit of peer pressure .... The other kid also wants to ride up - his dad just as surprized ....

 

These two laaities CYCLED up half way, all the way to the vineyard cheat line !  :clap:

 

 

Seriously impressed with both kids !!

Me-myself-I-ride-the-Atlantic! (Apologies to Joan Armatrading) Sometimes the solitude of a lone ride is what is needed to clear the head-fluff. 

That view  :clap:

I miss beach days or at least cycling past beach days.
