Man! That was fun!
The rain finally stopped (for now) and I seized the moment and got on the ol’ mtb again. My back wasn’t too happy, but what fun that was!!
Everything is still quite wet, so I piled through a lot of mud and wet sand. Some of the dirt roads were washed away at certain parts and I had to jump over a few ditches and dodge potholes here and there. Got quite dirty in the end, which is always a plus!
I also discovered some new cool single track! That helped to lift the spirits a bit, since some of the roads were closed off since I last went for a ride. It is a bit of a downer, because it is just another testament that crime is really getting out of hand. It is such a beautiful country, but that aspect is lost if you can’t enjoy it anymore. When suburbs are being closed of by security gates, one really has to wonder about the state of your country. Personally I don’t really feel safe exercising outdoors, but I try to be as safe as possible.
Well enough doom and gloom. I’m just happy I had an awesome off-road session this morning.

Sounds like a blast. I dig you’re new header image. That must be you, eh?
Sorry about the issue with the post. It’s clearly showing now. I think the issue might have been that the time was “in the future” and so it didn’t show up until the time became present/past. What timezone is your blog set to?

Yeah, unfortunately I have very few pictures of me on the bike. So I had to pimp an old one a bit.
