ChrisF Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 CHILLY morning, so he wanted to ride with a jacket .... 7 and 8 year olds lining up for their start ... chaos as the shoot narrows, thankfully nobody got hurt he would pass a couple of slower riders ... Then get caught in the blockage at the next "obstacle" .... Over the two laps he did make up some nice ground. NO, he is not a "front runner", but gone is the kid that walked the hills 12 months ago !! And look at his newest top, thanks to ANATOMIC. SO nice to see a local company actively INVOLVED in grass roots level sports !! IMPACT, Skubarra, BenReaper and 2 others 5

Skubarra Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 CHILLY morning, so he wanted to ride with a jacket .... Well done Chris & Maritz - my daughter was also along the 7-8 year olds... She decided after 1 lap she was tired and this is enough. I told her she can stop now but girls that only do one lap don't get medals - suddenly she found the energy for the second.. Looking forward to the Bloemendal leg ChrisF, BenReaper and BSG 3

Pity the girls started so soon after the boys .... Lead girl caught half the boys field. Must have been very difficult for the faster girls. Still such a nice day, and such a brilliant event ! PS - DM me your daughters board number ... just maybe I got a pic of her ...

DJR Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 My first ride in 3 and a half months since the crash. I started out just around the block to see if the stuffed up arm could carry the weight and it turned out OK. Used the Mtb because it is more upright than the roadies and the front suspension takes away a lot of the jarring. Wayne pudding Mol, Jackal355, Sepia and 9 others 12
DJR Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 .....and because it felt good and the freedom gave me a rush I kept going further up the mountain than I planned. Of course, I was too enthusiastic and now the ex-broken shoulder is sore and I'm nursing it with a hot water bottle to get the stiff cramping muscles to relax so I can do my daily physio. Come to think of it, stuff physio for today, I've done enough! Eddy Gordo, Skubarra, BenReaper and 9 others 12

Eddy Gordo Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Tokai at sunrise... wind tunnel testing. Photo Credit @jonminsterI was up there around 9. The wind was very bad. Got blown off a few times climbing up next to dh3. Cut my ride short, took it easy down on vasbyt, getting blown left and right.
Me rida my bicycle Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Like the new klipheuwel trail. Makes my loop just that bit more fun with little less climbing. Start with Meerendal, Contermans, Hoogekraal, Fair Cape, Klipheuwel and home. Making the ride mostly trail and little as possible tar. IMPACT, BenReaper, Jackal355 and 7 others 10

Grease_Monkey Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) EWC Round 1 at Contermanskloof today. The wind didn't play along, but other than that it was an awesome day out. Organisation of the event top notch again. Looking forward to the next one. Edited June 9, 2019 by Grease_Monkey Andrew_Smith, henningvr, Wayne pudding Mol and 4 others 7
