I always considered hitting it as a way to regain symmetry in my collarbones after breaking the left one last year. I need another scar and titanium to balance me out now. Damn OCD...
I was, then I realised I'll always find a way to spend money on things I don't need for no reason while making someone else wealthier. Decided to sell my trail bike, hard tail and forego the gravel bike and instead buy a Pyga Stage that does it all well and only weights in at 11KGs. I might still get one some day, but only because I'm stupid
If this is an intended close to improve things then that will be great. As much as two the core tries to make everything someone else's fault. They took our fees for years and never really justified it with the poor maintenance and general lack of actual trail management/design expertise. I did try to post something to the reserve but have had no answer, development is still a risk until they re-confirm that the reserve will be maintained. I do know from the original announcement 7 years ago when heartland sold the reserve that the current reserve is bigger than the intended reserve. They might be closing to resize it to its final state to accommodate the final development plans. Some public communications would be great.
I've got a VPN but they now geo lock you based on the card used for payment. I made the mistake last year of having a friend in France pay and got to enjoy nothing but French commentary for a year
Note to self, if it looks like a road on Garmin route plotter, it might not be a road. Tried to mix up our usual Rietvlei to Henley ride and got horribly lost along, was fun though.
Every other trail park I go to that charges every rider R50 to ride the trails does a better job of maintenance. This is nothing but bad management or greedy management.
Eish, this is the section I always go balls on trying to get the segment Had a ride there on Wednesday night and met the lonely sole maintenance person that to the core employs. I gave Chris a ride back to Greenstone and we got to chatting after he asked me to tell him if and where any trees had fallen down. In the end he mentioned that he checks the to the core Facebook page and I made the suggestion that that could be used for us to highlight trail needs and then he would do what he could to address them quickly. Apparently he's also just this week tried to fill the ruts and make a berm or two on the last fast single track. Lets give feedback on Facebook and see what we can do to help the guy out! Also had another thoughT to try do a community trail building day and turn last fast single track into a nice flow run with some jumps and berms.... Nice tar road for the transfer back up the hill
Took me a few years but finally found and rode the ruins in Modderfontein. Immediately after this photo I rode the drop like Danny Macaskill ( in my head )
I finally got everything setup on the Master Piu and took it for a 55km ride around the cradle today with the Mugg and Bean Safe Cycle ride. What a sublime ride, initially there was a little nervousness going down Broadacres at 60km/h toward the Jukskei but I put this down to a slightly different geometry and the fact that I built it myself and I kept wondering if I had tightened everything enough. The bike rolls so smoothly and absorbs road vibrations that I didn't even know could be absorbed. It's a little heavier than my 7kg C40 but climbs like it wants to and I still set a PR up Satelite Climb even though I'm far from fit at the moment. Definitely worthy of restoration!
