@Puls0nic that gap in the tar, that on the R532 Sabie to Graskop/Pilgrims?
They say jealousy makes you nasty. I had better shut up, cause I am super jealous...
Nice ones.
That is on the R536 between Sabie / Hazyview. Section of the road is closed off but even trucks still drive past there. When I pulled over to take photos two very large trucks drove past there. Surely it continues to damage that road even more.
 
Decided yesterday late that I needed a Head Clearing - packed the XC quickly, left at 7am, did a quick loop from Benoni, up to Bronkhorstspruit, then wound South over the N12 east of Delmas, a couple of side-loops west towards Lake Aston (Odd place, that) Then back through Springs - only 230km, but I kept it way down as I was by myself, and I actually just wanted a few hours in my own head - the Cosmos fields are stunning tho!!

Louisxander and myself had a nice slow ride to Val hotel for lunch and on our way back to Benoni we rode next to a section of railway tracks outside Leandra where the Cosmos was above head height . At one stage Louis was about 10m in front of me and I had to tell him to stop as I could not see where he was and got scared that the Cosmos monster was gonna catch me .

Seems you need to get out more. That chain looks rusty :)

🤣🤣🤣 It does, doesnt it??
But no, the Motul Chain Wax is red, when you spray it on, everything gets a red sheen - including all the bits where you missed the chain....

Oh - but you not wrong about needing to get out more.....
 
Note the total lack of traffic and idiots (apart from the one behind the cellphone).
the silence and solitude was awesome

After looking at this very thread this morning I thought, f*k dit, get off your phat gat and go ride. So....a little round trip through the farmlands to the west of George, to Friemersheim and beyond and home through the back of Great Brak.

I really enjoy seeing these photos of where you ride. Great photos and what great choices of places to ride to clear you head.
