Arriving at Modderfontein Bike Park
It’s so beautiful there.
Richard patiently waiting for me:)
Riding over the bridge at the end of the loop, I’m exhausted but thrilled to finish!
Richard braaing our meat for supper.
The girls picking carrots for our salad.
Today has been a boiling hot day! Richard and I got up early, drove to Modderfontien Bike Park and spent the next two hours riding around a mountain bike loop. At one stage his Garmin was giving temperature readings of 37 degrees Celsius! The ride was great but the hills were a killer, I actually felt like I was going to pass out on one of the steep hills, so I got off my bike and walked up instead. It was a great experience though, Richard was so patient and encouraging, which was wonderful. We rode 16km of hills and winding paths! I can now see why people fall in love with this sport, it’s really fantastic.
We had a lovely light lunch afterwards and then drove home, its been such a relaxing day otherwise and then tonight we had a family braai. Shew, I’m going to sleep well tonight:) Our veg garden is overflowing with produce, I need to get in there and do some weeding someday soon.
PS I’ve also just cast on for a new design for a Panda.
Have a lovely weekend xx
