Pat on her brand new 2020 Giant Stance E+ PRO 29 - there's a happy girl

Took the new Giant Stance E out for its maiden ride today. Thrilled. What a lovely bike. Pat's arrives tomorrow. Many thanks to the teams at RideLife, George and Giant Bicycles South Africa.

In the incredibly hot conditions we thought maybe a swim was in order. Alas, the reservoir was full of Koi fish and we thought they may not like it. Near Still Bay.

We took an eBike (mountain biking) ride from Still Bay which we thought was about 55km. A closed road turned it into a 68km epic in unbearably hot conditions.

A quick stop at Still Bay Harbour while eBiking (mountain biking).

Ice cream. That's what they do in Jongensfontein near Still Bay in the Western Cape, South Africa.

Bruce, Sharon Pat and I met us with Still Bay locals Howard and Sanet who took us on an eBike (mountain biking) ride to Jongensfontein. Western Cape. South Africa

Out riding in the Franschhoek mountains with Franschhoek eBiking. We stopped for a picnic - nice touch guys.

It did get a little bit technical on our ride with Franschhoek E-Mountain Bike Adventure into the Franschoek mountains. Still, a fantastic time was had by all in a stunningly beautiful place.

We rode up into the mountains around Franschhoek with Franschhoek eBiking and stopped to take in the view of the Berg River Dam

We did an ebike tour through the vineyards in Constantia in Cape Town this morning, finishing up at Groot Constantia. What a lovely way to spend the morning.
