Yip me 2, please guys those tents were freeezing last year.

Yep, hope they have the next event soon. Those downhills are legend (best part of a ride for me) I'm not the best climber, but can throw myself down a mountain quite comfortly.

One of the best rides in the country, Somerset East (Boschberg Classic) rocks. Almost 30k's of singletrack, with absolute sublime switchbacks and downhills. If you haven't ridden there yet, you are missing out.

Hi guys anybody else interested in riding in the area, please let me know. There are a few guys that want to confirm group rides in the Kenton On Sea/Bushmans. Please e-mail me with your details and we can put the riders in contact with each other.

Sorry guys been off my game a bit. Sebumo Tude was started about 5 months ago. We built approx 14km of track, jeeptrack and singletrack. Ronald (the owner) just finished building another 6 bridges to get over those pesky fences and the track has been cleared after the heavy floods we had about a month ago. There are a few distances and you can start with about 5km going to 14km. Unfortunately the first climb is about 1km into the track and is quite tough. The surface is a bit rough at this stage, but will get better after a few riders have passed through. Sebumo Tude is halfway between Port Alfred and Kenton On Sea on the Southwell road. 12km from Kenton and 18km from Port Alfred. Go to the Sebumo Tude webpage and give Ronanld a call. He'll be happy to give you further info.
