So after a few weeks of rain we
finally managed to get out and ride in the sun today. Riding the past
few weeks has been really hard with the continual rain - the only riding I
have done is when there was a gap in the clouds (and there were also a few
wet rides). Last weekend I managed my quickest ride at Suikerbosrand
Nature Reserve with Jessica on her single speed. She is really strong
and gave me carrots on the first hill - yes!! without any gears on her bike. Great ride
and one of the best places to train, 57km of safe road with 1200m of
climbing in a picturesque game reserve. Click here for my Strava
stats of the ride.
Today
we went out and tried to avoid the mud, this was not really possible
judging by the photos below. Guys on the ride with me were Greg, Paul,
George, Mike and Renier (for a few kms at the end). Awesome ride which
involved a bit of bush-whacking at one stage as the single track was
completely overgrown. It was fun adventuring and we had a bit of a
disruptive ride as our route had to keep changing because of the terrain
we encountered. I did 79km - click here for Strava
stats of this ride.
