Slent Road - June 2012. Who has been there lately?

[Heimer]

Today I decided to test my left arm. I am planning a trip to Verneukpan en June and wanted to know if it has healed after the biceps tore off in March.

Firtsly - I have to disappoint you. I took no pics. I was having too much fun.

After leaving Durbanville, I took Vissershok, Malanshoogte en then the Occultdale road. My bike has been standing for three months. Us both needed warming up a bit.


Slent is interesting thoroughout the year. Corrugated most of the time, sandy and potholed late in the summer season. Always a loose surface somewhere

Today it was a long muddy corrugated adventure, with deep potholes in rows behind one another, in some places there is no line where you can miss them.

One had to carefully pick a line and then just go for it.

I took it toward PaardeBerg, turned around and came back to the Wind Farm.

Then I got this GRIN  :biggrin:


And I did it again.

My first time on the bike in 4 months and it was WOWEEEE!!!  :biggrin:

The arm is a bit weak but not painful. I am happy

Jammer ons het nie mekaar "raakgeloop" nie.  Ons het ook daarlangs gery en tot so klein bietjie alternative route gedoen.


Slent pad was nogals avontuurlik ja.  :biggrin:

Bly jy is weer op jou bike! 

Mag daar baie paaie met n belowende skaapkop op die horison vir jou wag.  :thumleft:

As jy dink Slent Rd is iets moet jy gaan kyk hoe lyk daai stuk grondpad wat langs die N1 loop vanaf die Stellenbosh afdraai na die Klapmuts afdraai  :eek7: dit lyk soos pothole heaven!!!

Ek het ook Sondag daai pad gery maar toe agter Riebeeck Wes om met daai grondpad wat in Malmusbury uitkom.  Hy het plek plek water gehad.  Vir 'ma' moerig gehad van deur die water jaag...maar was lekker na die reen.  Hoop jou arm herstel gou. Sterkte
