Grease_Monkey Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Climbed up Botmaskop for the first time yesterday, and then down Skyfall and into the Banhoek trail system. Man, it is gorgeous. The views from the top of Botmaskop are insane, nd the valley down in Banhoek is breathtaking. Trails are pretty special too, there are some good challenging climbs and the descents are super fast and flowy - I was on my hardtail and smiling ear to ear the whole day. I will definitely do the ride again. Good change of pace from riding the enduro bike up for an hour followed by a 10min descent. All in all about a 40km ride with about 10km of tar (back over to Stellenbosch via Helsholgte pass). Escapee.., Jako De Wet, BenReaper and 6 others 9
Duane_Bosch Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) ChappiesRed HillKommetjieChappiesHome.I can't believe I've never ridden that little burn past 365 and the lighthouse to Kommetjie before. 140 odd km and around 2600m of climbing for the weekend. Not a bad weekend of riding for a fat lazy old pig like me. Edited June 17, 2019 by Duane_Bosch Andrew_Smith, Escapee.., BenReaper and 3 others 6
DJR Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Getting re-aquainted with all my bikes. Today was the Cannibals' turn! Up pukies hill to Rhodes Memorial, painfully slow. If I sit the knees hurt, if I stand the ex-broken shoulder hurts. Good excuse for bigger cogs at the back! Edited June 17, 2019 by DJR Andrew_Smith, nonky, Bloukrans and 11 others 14
DJR Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 My "training" buddy and good luck charm, at his stomping ground! All too quiet on youth day! No parties, no loud music, no piles of empty beer bottles and no panties hanging from the light poles! What is the youth coming to? Bloukrans, Rouxenator, Andrew_Smith and 5 others 8
