Pepsi Pools in the headwaters of Garden Route Dam - a great spot for a dip on a hot day.

The Garden Route Dam, and in the background, the Gorgeous Outeniqua Mountains.

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

Riders on an ebike tour in the forests surrounding the Garden Route Dam in George, 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.

A quick snack break on the most awesome of rides on the road to Van Wyksdorp from the The Place near Ladismith. Gotta do it again - soon!

We took a drive into the Langeberg Mountains - what a place! The fynbos was fantastic and there is some good riding there.

We stayed at The Place just off the R323 near Ladismith.

One the return to The Place ofter a lovely 60km ride the Buffelsdrift Conservancy, storm clouds brewing over the Swartberg.

Old farm buildings near Vensterskrans.

We headed off into a new area today - to Gamkaberg Nature Reserve kind of near Oudtshoorn. 😳😳😳 Tried climbing the 16km Lawson’s Pass. Oh dear. So very steep. In spite of leaning right over the bars, the front wheel kept popping up. We’ll try it again some time...

Taking to the railway tracks. Hope there’s no oncoming train.

We went for an ebike ride in Witfontein just outside George. Such a beautiful place to ride!

Max Wax chain lube. Works for us...
