Where has your bike taken you today?

[RocknRolla]

So, after a whole weekend of working, and other commitments, And a particularly blue Monday, I decided to take the bike for a sundowner ride.

Now, this was the plan from about lunchtime today. However, there was less than ideal weather and it looked grim.

I left Rosebank in a drizzle, but as I traveled west, things were looking better.

Left the house in sunshine. It only got worse from there.

 

After this pic, the climb up from Muldersdrift hotel went well, but as soon as I started heading east on Beyers Naude, the headwind made things really interesting. Had to pedal to go downhill...

 

Nonetheless a good ride, albeit a sufferfest for the last half.

Simply too beautiful an afternoon to ride straight home, so I did a quick round of Rondebosch Common.

That wasn't me. I normally don't ride past the common, but on a whim decided to make a detour for fun. I usually ride along the Liesbeek River or Main Road.

I rode up Phantom Pass then down the Phantom Pass single track, then up simola into Knysna forest where there's quite a huge network of trails, check out Trailforks or Strava

Ah thanks. Sounds like a lot of riding. Will check it out.

not so much where my bike took me as where I took my bike - I have a cottage in Cape St Francis and last time I came up alone I placed some "decor" without consultation.  My better half is not a fan of cycling but somehow I got away with this

I have some scars to show from when those were new.

If you're wife doesn't approve of that choice of decor of yours then maybe she isn't "the one" after all......[emoji12]
