Green Route: 20km, 480m Accent, Moderate. Don?t let the distance fool you; this is 20km of single track, bush tunnels, bridges, boardwalks and lung bursting climbs. It?s a good work out while having the best time ever on two wheels. Duration 2 - 3 hours. Red Route: 30km, 728 Accent, Intermediate. This route is an extension of the Green Route. A bit more climbing with awesome views. This is a good long ride with a bit of everything in it. You have a choice of a technical (bush tunnel) or a fun twisty single track back. Escape point is at the green route turn off. Duration 5 hours. Purple Route: 55km, 1200m Accent, Difficult. The first 15km is a non stop battle with granny gear. The view and single track is well worth the climb. Two escape routes have been marked out. Take lots of water, food and a cell phone. Duration 5 - 8 hours. Just ask at reception where to start you route you decide on. You can also do river tubing there, might be a bit cold. Thei also have a section down the bottom of the campsite that you can practice tecnical skills.

You will enjoy. We will be back with one of the next races. If you are going to braai just remember to take a braai with you cant remember if they go fixed one with the camping area.

Great Place. Good camping facilities. They also have place for washing up dishes ect. Very clean ablusion facilities. The best place to get stuff from is in Nelspruit +/- 30km away. We went to the Spar very good braai meet. They also have lodges and canvas tent that we stayd in. These have their own braai and fridge.

Tread and Mountainbiker is nice as this is just about mountain biking. Ride has a good mix. But as you say Bicycling is more about Road bikes.

I was impressed with the first issue of Tread Mag, Also subscribed to this one. Hope they get to monthly issues Quickly as its a long wait before the next one.

My brother had exactly the same problem by Cajees at Princess Crossing. Baught a new bike, nothing was set up. I did some ajustments for him and tightened some loose bolts. Went to Northern Farm and the chain broke halfway through the ride. We just made a quick fix and ended up taking out about 7 links as it broke 2 more times. The gears where also skipping as it wasn't set properly. On weekends they use temps as machanics and during the week you have the profesional machanics. Also with being overpriced, you can always get a discount on anything you buy there. Rather go to Westrand Cyles, Lynden cycles or Cycle Fountain.

Does anyone know anything about the silverback mercury 3?

Which one is better Dual suspension or hard tail. Do some racing and technical tracks. Any recommendations for about R12000.
