Two friends and I took a day trip from PTA to Dullstroom and back taking as much dirt roads as we could see on a map, and then some that we couldn't.

We discovered that farm fences blocking the road can lead you to interesting places very quickly.

And that mud can be deceptive.

And that a clean bike is an unhappy bike

The roads got progressively worse but we pushed on... Literally pushed sometimes.

A perfect way to spend time with some friends, everyone got stuck at some point.

I now know that recovering a bike from mud is not a one man job.
 
Did a quick coffee in Stanford on Saturday. Was cool and drizly and I wasn’t angry at my bike for having a heated seat. Met @Pannas and a few other guys who were on their way to Marshall a MTB even. Lekker om te ontmoet Pannas
