Carine's Mountain Bike Diaries. Sunday, April 8, 2012. Autumn Zoo Lake Breakfast Ride. I showed a few friends the route that I cycle to work on commute days. we entered Delta park just next to the school, and then up to the botanical gardens before we turned away for a moyo breakfast at zoo lake. The spruit was on its best behaviour yesterday morning. mud-sections gone, all that's left were fast flowing tracks. With oak leaves everywhere, people walking their dogs, jogging, riding with kids. Up and over ...

Carine's Mountain Bike Diaries. Thursday, January 10, 2013. 8220;Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes.” - Snoopy (Charles Schulz). Rob West, MBA Classmate - Thank you for the laughs, spreadsheets, motivation and for looking after me. You will be missed :(. Burry Stander - Thank you for the dreams you gave us. Then So...

Carine's Mountain Bike Diaries. Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Studies was getting too much, so when the BoomhuisBende organised a Mankele-weekend, I simply had to join. T'was too cold for camping, so we stayed in the chalets. Late saturday morning we climbed up the green route and then bombed down the bushtunnels. You haven't ridden a bushtunnel before you've ridden a Mankele Bushtunnel. The tubing-singletrack just next to the river was clearly not made for 29ers. Now back to the books.

Carine's Mountain Bike Diaries. Monday, May 28, 2012. Afternoon-commute through the Spruit. Posted by Carine Reyneke. Monday, May 7, 2012. So Long, Dad. So long, Dad. My geek-streak probably come from you - I am now the proud owner of your miniature hit-camera. At the end of each school-term you bought us each a lego-car. Which used to be your own until about the next morning, when the legos went into the big communal lego-bin from where our creativity could run wild. There were summer holidays in a cara...

Carine's Mountain Bike Diaries. Tuesday, July 9, 2013. Exploring Göreme by bike. I read about the bicycling possibilities in Cappadocia a long time ago, so I was excited to find myself in Göreme in the beginning of July. Bike rental (basic, with v-brakes) was 10 TL (about R55) for 3 hours. We first took the bikes to the hiking trail up the Pidgeon valley. Singletrack on the Pidgeon Valley hiking trail. One of the many tunnels on the Pidgeon Valley hiking trail. Put it on your bucket list! Police presence...

Carine's Mountain Bike Diaries. Friday, August 10, 2012. Woman's Day D&D Ride. If some bikers in pretoria hit a jeeptrack in the dark. In the xtc park. And they do it with no moonlight, just the starlight and a bark (cough, cough). Then the endorphines emitting will be sure to light a spark. Although a meeting with a rock could maybe leave a mark). If the bikers then ride. Single-trackies just because they're there. And then stop on top of quadbuster for some chocolates to share. Posted by Carine Reyneke.

Carine's Mountain Bike Diaries. Friday, March 30, 2012. When did we grow up? Going down heartbreak-hill was much easier than the usual drag up. Then up the St George's tracks (where a new fence made it difficult to get through to the singletrack next to the highway). A fast chase down Shebeen Queen, up Mieliemuur, and back at the Spur just in time to order some hot chocolate and chips before the kitchen closed. Still the most fun you can have on a Thursday night. When did we grow up? Just do it. Now.

Carine's Mountain Bike Diaries. Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Tshwane AR Club: DH Renegades (17 November 2012). DH Renegades Adventure Race: No Rush. Race briefing at Thaba Trails at sunrise. The race had to start very early to ensure that all teams would complete the 80-something course in one day. The race started with 20-odd kms of cycling through Thaba Trails. Yum! The tracks were sticky-muddy with recent rain, and the trails were technical and big on fun. We arrived at the golf clubhouse where some te...

Carine's Mountain Bike Diaries. Monday, September 22, 2014. Come cycle in the desert by the light of the full moon, the website invited. 5 Days of cycling, of which 4 would be at night, and one day of paddling on the Orange river in the middle. The last day was a daylight-stage of 60-something km through the most unreal terrain I've cycled in: quarts fields, Richtersveld koppies, 2 tracks that changed into 1 track, and then into technical climbies and more technical huge fun drops on the other side, inte...

Carine's Mountain Bike Diaries. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Flat, flowing singletrack with some bridges, a ruin or 2 to ride through, and a floating bridge to add some adventure. 18 kilometers of non-intimidating high fun. The ideal place to show to non-riders what the fuss is about. And coffee and breakfast afterwards. Posted by Carine Reyneke. Thursday, March 28, 2013. Afternoon Commute: Braamfontein Spruit. 7 Weeks until Sani2C. No time to train due to study deadlines. Posted by Carine Reyneke. Devonval...
