Where has your bike taken you today?

Is the helmet set at a jaunty angle a style feature?

a lack-of-style feature, yeah. Had prob just wiped the sweat off my face before the pic.

What a nice morning at Bloemendal !!

 

We did two laps of B-Spot, then headed up the hills, and enjoyed the single track back to the start.  Under the shade at the start I met up with Marcel of Veloworld.  

 

 

 

Maritz doing Homerun :

 

 

 

Maritz made a new friend, Christiaan.  They had fun in B Fever .... We then headed back to B-Spot for another lap ....

 

Maritz is 7 years old, and Christiaan is 9 years old and one of Marcel's Veloworld students.

 

 

Right from the start Christiaan was that bit faster than Maritz !  I cautioned Maritz to rather concentrate on safety than speed, but I gave him some space to test himself.

 

Two new buddies :

 

 

Lap 1 of the morning Maritz did B-Spot in 9 minutes 46 seconds, or about 13 km/h.  His second lap was a bit slower.

 

Following Christiaan he did it in 8 minutes 45 seconds, or about 14,6km/h !!

 

 

And yes, they continued doing laps of B-Fever for another hour plus ....

Kloof nek road, turn left up towards cable car, the 2nd last hairpin where the boomgate is, go in there, there's a bench there about 2-3m next to the bench the trail drops in there.

 

It's granite rock face that you ride for about 400-500m down it gets interesting as you go lower.

 

If like us you coming from Rhodes Mem side once you in tafelberg road ride it till the end and enter at the same spot at the boom. There are many ways to get there but this is the easiest i can explain. Otherwise drop me a line i can show you where it is, either on my commute or one weekend

Screw distance, you have quality over quantity right there with regards to the therapeutic side of cycling.[emoji7][emoji108]

Started out as a lekker morning spin around the forest with a little skills practice, with focus on rear wheel lifts.

 

Got it wrong and got a few scratches which made the pedal home not so much fun.

So odd story. Those of you that rode Chappies today might have noticed a few artists painting.

 

Turns out there were 40 artists dotted around HB today. The paintings were auctioned and the proceeds went to Darg. We ended up buying one of the pieces. We did ride bikes to see that artists so this is bike related.

 

This is it
