Mooi paaie wat jy ry.  Daai Suzi maak my lus om 'n thumper weer te koop, hy lyk heel tuis in sy omgewing.

Hys lekker as mens alleen ry, en ook as jy nie te lank op n teerpad hoef te ry nie  :ricky:

Die boere maak seker hulle vrouens loop nie rond nie.



Nice pics Louis! Altyd fun on saam met jou te ry!

Dit was lekker Louis Photo! Die foto's is mooi om na te kyk en ook te raai waar dit is.

Sal nie om gee om so ’n Dr te besit as tweede fiets nie, kry ook maar soms lus om tegniese
paaie meer gemaklik te kan ry.

Since I still haven't done any real ride reports, and I already have this thread going,  I may as well just continue to post details of my rides here  :deal: I didn't do a lot of proper riding this summer, it was just to hot, I drank a lot of G & t's next to the pool though, but I did go for a few rides.

This was a 2 day trip with a friend early in summer, Ceres - Middelpos - Sutherland - Ladysmith and back again to Ceres and Tulbagh where I live. On my way out of Tulbagh a woman turned right as I was busy passing her at a low speed, I hit her car quite hard but I managed to stay on the bike, fortunately there were no traffic in the oncoming lane.I carried on to Ceres where I bought 1) a big rump steak 2) a bottle of Jack Daniels 3) a bottle of Mybulins and 4) a half dozen crepe bandages. We also stopped at a workshop in Ceres to straighten my gearshift. The first night we stayed on my friends dads farm in the Karoo where i nursed my left foot and left fore arm which took the brunt of the impact. The next day we carried on to Ladismith which was a bit tricky because I could walk, but I couldn't stand up on the foot peg!

Exploring in the mountains close to where I live.

I did the usual lap, Ceres, Katbakkies Pass, Tankwa padstal and back to Ceres with a friend of mine from Oz with a borrowed bike. heres two pics, but I also did a short little video of that day:  https://vimeo.com/138327085

Little roundtrip through the Tankwa on a borrowed XT660 with a friend of mine, we stayed over on his dads farm at the foot of Oubergpas.  I made a short video coming down the pass:  https://vimeo.com/146387820

My last ride was a solo 480Km trip on Saturday, Ceres - Wuppertal - Biedouwvallei - and back again with the R355. I made a little video of the eroded road out of the valley which I'll post here once it's edited.

Ai ai ai, wens ek het die tyd op hande gehad sodat jy my op n paar van hierdie trips kon vat, maar my ses weke oue dogtertjie en driejarige laaitie soek baie aandag. Ek wil al daai paaie gaan probeer. Daai Boontjies..... By Wolseley ken ek van my MTB dae, lyk nice. Ek is van Worcester, so kan maklik join.

Nee, ek moes ongelukkig tevrede wees met die eerste en beste steak wat ek by die Spar in Ceres kon kry. maar ek het al BAIE droewors en biltong in die verlede daar by Pietman se pa se slaghuis in Hamlet gekoop  :drif:

I posted the edited video of my ride through Biedouwvallei, it will be of interest to anybody who want to ride the road out of Biedouwvallei from the Doringrivier to about 15 or 20kms further east towards the R355.  https://vimeo.com/159935148
