Cat2forLife Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Beautiful day out this side. Took a quicky up Malanshoogte, turned around at the gravel road and came home again. Quick 40 odd kms.

Tubehunter Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Yes, time for those in hibernation to come out and get some training in this week!Capitalize, Roadies, before the shiny streets return. Dale, dude, I can't wait to drag you up the mountain on a thick wheel bike. Take you to some seriously off the beaten path stretches and you cycle listening to the sound of leaves in the trees moving, the chatter of the forest and the life that inhabits it, whilst the path lights up every so often with the crashing of water as a new waterfall makes its course after some rain over the previous days or hours. There's not a single sound of urban life, not a car, a horn or all those other sounds that overwhelm your senses when you're on the black stuff and constantly plotting your survival! And you know how much I enjoy a proper day in the saddle on a skinny wheel bike too! Just eager to be there and witness the affect it will have on you! Dude if you're game I'm sure we can arrange a bike and lets go blow your mind! You really need to see how the other half live! I KNOW you will appreciate it! Here's a pic I took this weekend. http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/Tubehunter/IMG-20130728-00196_zps85d261bb.jpg

'Dale Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Enjoy the sun rays, Roadies... http://d4nuk0dd6nrma.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2012_Gippsland_Stg2_03-1.jpeg
Cat2forLife Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Yeah,nice day out today. Nice photo, that. Where's that? Looks like a race track.Pitty about your wind yesterday. You just went at the wrong time @Tubethunder, I know what you mean! I've only recently started the whole mountainbike thing and while to me, personally, it will never replace road cycling, it is damn awesome! I LOVE riding through forests and stuff. Something very peaceful about them, eventhough something that wants to kill you is never very far away
Wannabe Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 What? Dale on knobblies, i never thought this day would come! once it bites, thats it mtb for life I'm one ahead of you. Took him on a ride on MTB a while ago. We did not do any real Mtb'ing, but we were on gravel for a long time.
