"Everything's a circle. We're each responsible for our own actions. It will come back." - Betty Laverdure
This is what I read on one of those sugar papers as we sat there at Booga-T's while enjoying hot chocolates, pizza, tremmizini's and beers... We still get looks from some of the other patrons... all in our MTB kit and grinning after such a lekker ride... So with cloud about looks like somefolks aren't waterproof anymore... as there were only 5 of us there... and best part of it all the trails were mostly schweet and dry and really fresh... man it is so good to be back and enjoy our really schweet trails... the familiarity of home and good friends out having a jol.... life is good!!!! So we head down a rather gnarly "end of the world: and into Gauntlet which is really up to its old tricks with the super looong grass... later up those singletracks at the base of klapperkop it was quiet freaky as the looong grass made it difficult to see where the trial went, but we found our way and cruisin along at some point q.t. done a dismount... we negotiated about us being only 5 and a there and back could be a mugging risk... so Eric led us down the singletrack next to the fence down to fountain circle... and loop around groenkloof ... a bit of tar.. but then we get to do the Northside of the airbase trails again.. . haven't done that in a while... after playing frogger on the tar with the traffic and stuff... it was decided that next time we'll rather face muggers... man I don't know how roadies train/survive.... So we hit airbase singletracks in q.t. slipstream as we claw against the wind...and then up that now really technical jeeptrack.... i charge off grinding..boucin bumpin up over the rocks until my pedal whacks one and suddely my bike jolts sideways and I come to a sudden stop... .eish...neeeearly crashed... then we shot that lekker singletrack down to PVR road... where there was a some police action and 3 suspects arrested under the bridge.... he just shone his lights at us... probably wondering what we are up to... so we cruised up end of da world and headed back... .the ride was lekker social with a lot of role changing, all of us taking turns to lead, sweep and just have fun... Oupa Gerrit gets wired under the N1 and just when he thinks it is all sorted by unravelling the wire caught in his cassette... he notices nico holding his front wheel where some "milk" is leakin.... they do the D&D style spin & wiggle move and hit the road as it looked like it should seal... luckily it did and after a few short play dices and stuffs we were back at the Moo mall. Thanks Guys, it was really an honour to ride with you's. More or less stats... more or less rode for 2,5hours for more or less 30kms and had more or less not much technicals, one biological and more or less no rain at all.... AND OUPA GERRIT WON THE VALENTINES RED OUTFIT!!!!! :-) l8r hardy --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DarkAndDirty" group.
