Not a hell of a lot to say. It's been ages since I've really taken my bike out and Sunday, being pleasant on the weather front and sandwiched twixt two days off (Monday being a public holiday; we have lots of them), it seemed like a good idea to hit the open road.
Our route took us along some of the back roads out to Riebeek Kasteel. Some really pleasant riding out that part of the world, including a stupendous sweeping bend at the bottom of a (low) mountain pass just before you hit the turn into Riebeek Kasteel itself.
Breakfast was pleasant, in spite of a small swarm of miggies (a local term that is hard to translate entirely accurately) that fell in love with my face (although who can blame them?) making eating and breathing challenging.
We took a spin up through Tulbagh and skirted past Ceres, returning over Du Toit's Kloof pass which offered up it's usual fare of spectacular views and tight bends. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's a lot of good riding in these parts.
