Stop and smell the roses

Sometimes we are criticised for riding certain routes too quickly to appreciate our surroundings. I would strongly disagree with that - especially this morning. Cape Town is entering into a beautiful Spring period and the mornings are quite spectacular. The chirp in the group is at a new level; the lights are actually turned off halfway through the ride; and we swallow our surroundings down in huge appreciative gulps!

Enjoy some of the views from our FMD - Pipe Track ride this morning (as also enjoyed by Twakkie; Epic John; The CrackMan; Dr Phall; The Moose; Gav and I).

Sunrise on Signal Hill

A mist hangs over the Cape Town harbour at dawn

Gearing up for his 11th Epic, Epic John sports his fashionable "helmet head"

The CrackMan in a jovial mood. No really - thats his happy face.

I warned you that we stop and smell the flowers...here's proof.

The Urban Moose

Another sunrise shot (just because!)
