Check this photo out. An amazing composition of the fires in Stellenbosch 2 weeks ago. It's taken by a young local photographer with a lot of talent. Check his website out here- www.hougaardmalan.com. Beauty and horror in one package. Unfortunately a new fire is burning in Jonkershoek this week. We're holding thumbs that the plantations are not too badly damaged but from experience we know that trails come and trails go. It's a life-cycle we should all know well considering we spend so much time on round wheels, with round chainrings and round bearings. So some singletrack and a lot of hard work might be gone forever but new trails (with new stories) will always pop up in time and maybe they'll be even better than before. I'm looking forward to it!
