Wayne pudding Mol Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Stopped in Wilderness for a coffee which instead of boosting me up the next hill made me lazy and I bonked for the entire 20kms back home - mud and rain did little to help but a decent opening ride for 2019 Andrew_Smith, Zatopek, DJR and 3 others 6

Wayne pudding Mol Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 That descent from 7 Passes Road to Rondevlei you did today, I climbed it in the opposite direction a few days ago..hy het my gebreek!it's called Tshirt hill, met ander woorde, climb the hill get the T-Shirt - when I moved here 3 years ago, it took me 3 attempts before I managed to get to the top without pushing. Â It was a mental thing, I kept thinking why pedal when you can walk faster? Â I still hate it

It was a mental thing, I kept thinking why pedal when you can walk faster? I still hate itHaha, took me about 15min to get to the top on fatiqued legs.. when I'm back next December I'll make it my mission to do it sub 10min.. don't know how Gert Heyns can do it sub 7min. That's crazy!
RocknRolla Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 So, finally got to do my maiden ride for '19 after what felt like an eternity of rain here in JHB. Andrew_Smith, BenReaper, Wayne pudding Mol and 6 others 9
ChrisF Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 ..... After D'Aria I settled into a nice rythm and picked up a bit of speed on the level section ..... got used to the longer A-frames, then had a slight oops on the one steep A-frame.   Fortunately just a few scrapes, most importantly, no damage to the bike. ..... Few scrapes .... Some bruises .....  But I did manage a slow 2km ride this afternoon ...just keeping the muscles loose .....    Another recovery ride tomorrow, and hoping to be back on the trails by Friday ....

DJR Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Not my bike, not my ride, not even my hotel, too poor, paying with Rands, but if ever you stay at he Savoy in Florence, please use one of these and post it here! The doorman gave me a dirty look when I showed too much interest in his bikes. Zatopek, BenReaper, Blokman and 4 others 7

fanievb Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 To the paincave 'cause I thought it was going to rain again RocknRolla and Long Wheel Base 2
RocknRolla Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Started overcast, looked like it may clear up, but closed up nicely for a fairly cool and blustery ride.Loads of grip on the damp trails.Edit: Cradle route from home. A nice 60km route with about 800m of ascent. When I am feeling stronger, I may add to this, or at least sniff out some climbs to add to the ascent.
