Grease_Monkey Posted June 16, 2019 Share 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).

Duane_Bosch Posted June 17, 2019 Share 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.

DJR Posted June 17, 2019 Share 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!

DJR Posted June 17, 2019 Share 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?

ABrooks Posted June 18, 2019 Share Had some time to go for a ride, decided to make it a nice night ride. Not seeing a single other light makes it feel eerie knowing that you are alone there. Andrew_Smith, DJR, Rouxenator and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
