Good day to all the Wannabees

Lovely weekend for riding

Saturday we did a half of a Rooi Els ride in lovely conditions, just have it all messed up by a horrible rugby game and special rendition of new refereeing rules by the ?Irish ref.

Sunday we (+/- 20 riders) tackled the ‘black’ route of the new mountain bike trail.

The ‘recce’ ride turned out to be a ‘wreck me’ ride for some of us. Nearly got Ralph’s dummy for winging the most, but that was nothing compared to the amazing views and wonderful terrain that we rode through. At one stage we were so high up the slopes of Hans se Kop, that Arrie Rossouw lost his bike due to altitude sickness!!

This was then also topped by an excellent win by the South African Louis Oosthuizen at St. Andrews. What a masterful display of calmness and mind and body control.

This mix of single track, rolling hills and stunning views makes this track a winner. Well done to Deon van Zijl, Johann Kriegler and all the others involved in the building of this track and securing the rights to traverse all the farms.

An easier route is also available as to accommodate all levels of riders.

The first DC training ride was held on Sunday. John will report on these rides next week and also put a training schedule out.
