Although the winter weather means that (for me at least) no weekend rides commence before sunrise at around 08h, the trails remain incredibly beautiful!

I've also discovered a WW2 bunker on today's route which was pretty cool.

Black on Black meets colour on the Constantia Greenbelts. Wet, muddy, slippery, sunshine, drizzle, clear, overcast, sunny with showers! Lovely four-seasons-in-one ride with Beattbox. Great recovery coffee and Swiss confectionery (thanks S). Serious bike wash done, fire lit, wine open, now we braai! Stuff this on/off rain, if you let the weather dictate what you do in Cape Town, you need to change your approach!

That bottle must have jumped out in pure shame being fitted to either a white or red water bottle holder on a black frame .... get black cages and life will treat you better.

It is the last two that no one else wanted :P

The bottle cage fashion police will be most pleased to know that I have splashed out and procured not one, but two matching black cages ????

No more bottles disappearing in shame ????

This pic taken after a clean, following a very dirty ride this morning. Learned some lessons about what my "city slick" tires are capable (or rather, not capable) of on wet mud...

On a related note, I also learned (on the job, so to speak) how to unclip off a bike that's going down... twice ????

Weather app lied again, it said by the time I turn to come back the wind would have died. It didn’t. Was a hard slog back.

As a knowledgeable friend / hubber @NotSoBigBentold me. The wind is only ever head on, otherwise you just on a good day ????

DC prep 130 clicks | 5 hours rollers:

Sunday was one the wettest spring rides. Another wet one in Q4 was the DC from a few years ago. Most of the guys were not prepared for rain and fortunately the Mercury never dropped below 12 degrees. It was such an adventure and, fortunately, everyone got home safely without kissing the tarmac.
