Railway Atlantis with 90% Rain

[EtienneNXR]

The whole week there had been like 90% rain forecast for Saturday...

Saturday morning, wake up, not a cloud in sight.
Took my time, geared up and headed for Atlantis via the Killarney Railway track, it was FREAKIN wet! The road we usually cross under the bridge turned into a dam/river. It made for quite an interesting ride with all the water holes on the railway.

I didnt take any pics    So now you must be wondering why I'm even posting a Ride Report...

Well I made a video  :thumleft:

Hope y'all enjoy it, mind the wind noise, and just note quality has been detuned for Youtube purposes.

[Smithey]

Goeie Fok.....  :imaposer: when u seen the water.

Man you got sum skills Ettienne, that looked like thick sand and you were cruising along,  :thumleft:

What helmet cam and bike cam are you using ?

 

[EtienneNXR]

We usaully jump over those ridges, becuase you come at a lekker speed, next thing i saw it was just a huge dam. You can hear me going 'holy shit' in the background ;D
The cam is a sumsung miniket, its a small unit that hasa helmet cam, aswell as a normal cam in, hence the handle bar shots.

 

[stevgh0]

[Crossed-up]

Lekker vid, Etienne.  I don't like that bit over the bridge in the loose stones, but I see the river is really high.  I know that puddle well.  It can catch you out quite easily!
I might see you tomorrow.  Not sure of our plans yet.

 

[stevgh0]

ive been caught there...

splashhhh

 

[EtienneNXR]

I hope you come! Bring Sid too!

But seriously though, i didnt, would never roost someone with rock, but if it's in the mud...

[EtienneNXR]

Ek sal eerder op my bike wees, en dink aan eksamens leer, as wat ek eksamens leer en daaran dink om op die bike te wees.
