Where has your bike taken you today?

3 Days of amazing riding along the Eastern Cape

 

Queenstown to Thomas River

 

Thomas River to Komga

 

Komga to Morgan Bay

Thanks for riding Fanie, my dream coming true. Why no pics of the harried course designer. I didn't stand still enough to be in any pics.

 

Now for next year

[deanbean]

That ride is so on my bucket list

That special, Fanie [emoji1476]

Come join me. The route is still a bit rough and ready, but we're learning and will steadily improve. Day 2 though is still a beeatch.

You talking about this oke?

Along the 7 passes road and above Sedgefield is a town that time forgot called Karatara - it's plain weird, the residents look related and probably are. It's a mixed community and you couldn't say anyone is this or that. Behind it are some majestic mountain trails and beauty but the town doesn't have much to show off. The church got to pose with my bike. I took the shot and hightailed out of there chop chop before the banjo players could kidnap me

Great scenery I'm sure. Quite an interesting history around the town.

 

When we went through there a few years ago we were shown some special hospitality when we showed interest on one of the families' lavish veggie garden.

Indirectly my mtb took me to the begining of the season Trail maintenance event 

 

Unfortunately the weather was not a nice as this photo from one last years events

The Slade took me on a Sunday afternoon ride from Waterval Boven to Tranquilitas and Back via the Rim Trail. The fun factor on this bike is off the charts.

If your shoe sole came lose in a country where you know it might take while to get your size, you stop and make use of the roadside service options available. (Asked for glue but received the stitching as a bonus when I returned after an hour of rest. )

Sunrise fun with the GoPro.

Get some 2-part epoxy. Mix it and work it into the little holes with a toothpick, put a thin layer over the thread as well. The repair will last for ever!

Good idea, thanks will do.  I was at first taken a bit aback with the un-requested holes and stitching, but then realised it is probably stronger than before and exactly what is needed to keep me going...

I bought new pair of expensive mtb shoes a few years ago and on the very first ride I cut the shoe open on the side, on a sharp piece of wood. I stitched it up with similar thick (leather work) thread, added the epoxy glue wherever I was worried the thread would wear through. The repair looked terrible, but it lasted for years. Mine was on a black part of the shoe, so I also coloured the repair with a black permanent marker to camouflage it a bit.

Bidon Bistro to Black Horse Brewery (and back for some) Specialized Diverge group/test ride.

West Rand Cycles took a dozen Diverges groading from Muldersdrift to Magalies.
