Johan, Deon and I went for a little ride. Deon, being new to gravel having been on cruiser bikes previously.
Previously the water was not so deep and it was a concrete low water bridge BUT
the concrete was now, with the increased water level and strength of the stream, being broken up and silly me. I did not know that. Imagin my surprise when my front wheel took a glancing blow and a downward trend!
See the picture of the concrete blocks.
Deon promised to post pics of me returning from the other side.
What surprised me was that even thogh I lost my footing while on the pegs, the TA did not falter - Man I am impressed with this bike!
