Riding venues

Where to ride? So many tracks, so little time. Getting to them all slowly, very slowly.

Home base to so many riders. Keep up with the happenings on the Spruit.

Training

On the bike, off the bike. Indoors, outdoors. Riding, running, gyming, spinning. Sweating!

Cast & Character

It’s not about the bike. It is about the people. These are the people you might meet along the way.

Monster ride today, I whined all the way – all 104km’s

With only a few weeks to go before the JoBerg2c, we have to clock the last few big rides. Today seemed to go on forever. Within 5 minutes from starting, we wanted to can the whole thing. When I wanted to stop, Mike said ‘let’s press on’. When Mike wanted to stop I agreed but then he changed his mind. I fell in the mud at 85km’s and declared the ride over on account of feeling like a sewer rat. Mike responded by taking photo’s. Right now it is all mental … it is also not about the bike, it is about the ass (and nutrition). Today was our longest training ride – a fraction over 7 hours. If you know Johannesburg, the pictures tell a story.
