Caerus

I'll be following you shortly after, 10am start for me.

You living in Cape Town now?

Not sure if it's been reported here yet without having to read through, but two of the guys spent the night in jail

See you there, I need a new battery

That boy can build trails

Has there been a meeting place been arranged, or is it just a list of people that are riding?

So how do we hook up/ meet before hand? What's the plan, is there one?

Who started this list and If I'm too add my name, how do you contact the people involved? More info please Edit I clicked on the link and have added my name, I take it that it will automatically be updated.

Any hubbers starting in group OE at 10am? This is my first Argus and I would keen to maybe ride with someone

Yeah, great chap

Scotty should get an award Outstanding service to the Hub SA - 1 year free membership

I was right Damn I was wrong

Side stepped those favourite hubbers question, was Big H one of them?

I'm very keen, even if it's for a mountain bike? When could I make an appointment for?

That could have ended up a lot worse for you guys because of tjops like these.

That's hectic , looks more like a delivery driver as opposed to a taxi driver as the windows are blacked out/ painted over. What happened preceding this incident?

Not sure where you found 80% single track. Maybe you need to get out and about and ride some different trails. Not sure who the trail builders are but they should perhaps chat to Nigel Hicks about getting some fast flowing single track incorporated. There is potential, don't get me wrong, they just need to fine tune some things. Maybe I am hard to please having had the best trails to ride coming from KZN.

Way more productive

Call and complain, hopefully something will come of it. These truck drivers need to learn.

The views from the top are exceptional and the scenery stunning. My personal opinion is too get someone to re look at the trails and see what improvements can be made. I'm no Greg Minaar by any means but just found it very lacking. Some sections as mentioned are virtually unridable especially the climb to the very top, and signage was generally OK although I did follow the walking trail for a bit because of confusing signage, where the broken tractor is. Hopefully things improve as there is definitely potential, they just need to re evaluate a few things.

Please do

Eish, doesn't sound good. Healing vibes to the injured cyclist.

I finally got to ride at Hemel en Aarde today, and was left totally disappointed by the trail. The guys at the bike shop where you get your day permit was friendly and helpful. That's where it kind of ended for me. I did the black route which is 32km, advertised as 35km and says it should take 3-4 hours. This route could be easily done in two, as I was taking it fairly easy today. I did this route based on all the rave reviews, not only via the hub but on the phone insistence of the shop owner. The single track was not challenging at all and in short supply. Too much jeep track, not sure if this trail is aimed more at the dirt roadies on there 29er's? The climbing, just seemed to lead to more climbing, which I don't mind, but when you get too the very top you would expect some decent dowhill. You are faced with more jeep track unfortunately, again extremely disappointed. When you get the last section of single track through the forest section, the trail doesn't flow and you can't pick up any decent speed. No jumps, just humps that just seem to be in all the wrong places. No berms, just boring in my opinion. Maybe I've been blessed with some of the trails I've ridden in KZN, Cape Town and even Jozi. This was just lame I'm afraid to say. Certainly hope the R40 to ride these trails is put to good use on major improvements. The cherry on the cake for me was when I had finished, the farm stall next to the bike shop wanting to charge R16 for a small bottle of coke, that's just completely taking the piss. Thank goodness I've got my road bike with me, cause in all honesty I would rather ride on the road tomorrow then do that trail again. Unless there are major improvements, I won't be back, that's a certain.

Get back behind that curtain

I only saw something similar after buying the whole wrench, great for on the trail repairs May look at getting one anyway.
