With a cold dreary morning I wasn't too keen (bad pun) on cycling today, but around 10 the good ol' sol popped out of the clouds.
It's a holiday in South Africa: May 1st is "Workers Day" but because it fell on a Sunday, they holiday is today, Monday. So workers day is a non working day. Good for mountain biking because the "Nothern Farm" is open only on week ends and holidays.
Very few folks at the farm. I was always wonder: "What if I do a header and there's no one come by to claim the body until the next week end?"
A good workout for a scant 8.2 miles but it's off road and singletrack. My bod says 1 mile of hilly singletrack is 4 to 5 miles of easy peasy road cycling.
Day 2 in the books.
Love www.ridewithgps.com for saving tracks. Drag your cursor along either the route or profile to see what's up....or down. Hmmmm embedded routes not working. Will contact Slantz.

.jpg)  Better for (time for more) biking in South Africa: May 1st is Labor Day in Germany (and many other European countries). Same difference than in SA: No work on Labor Day ... but if it falls on a Sunday, you don't get an extra day of non-labor the day after. Too bad, would have loved to get an additional biking day, especially since biking is the opposite of labor (as laborious as it can sometimes be)
