  1. Have alluded in previous threads to a potential trip to tackle the infamous van Zyls pass in Northern Namibia. Things are now really starting to come together to make this happen, and all things staying equal, we will be offering an 8-10 day (including travel days) Nambia MTB expedition in the winter of 2021, the highlight of which will be a crossing of Van Zyls Pass. As well as some other epic riding along dry river beds in the Kaokaland, and the moon landscape outside of Swakopmund. Dates and pricing will be published in the next couple of weeks, once we have more of the details worked out. We have also made arrangements to do a recce trip in February 2021 to actually ride the pass, and figure out how much time needs to be put aside, and how much of the approach to the pass and the ride into the Marienfluss is rideable, before the sand becomes an issue. There will be an opportunity for 2 or 3 adventurous hubbers to join us on this recce - (you would need to pay to cover your direct costs like plane tickets, food and accomodation etc, but this will not be a commercial trip) Having done the pass a few times on 4x4 trips, I know its definately rideable, although we need to go figure out how tough, or not, its going to be. I have scoured the interwebs in the past 2 weeks trying to find info on whether this has been done before, but I cant find any documented reports, photos etc. Obviously, from a marketing point of view, we would like to use the idea of this being the first MTB crossing, but I wouldnt want to be disengenious about it. Also, if there is info out there from people who have done this before, that would be very helpful in terms of our planning process. If anyone knows of a trip like this being done before, or has links or info, that would be awesome if you would be willing to share. Looking forward to hearing from the community about this, is there interest in this, and so forth.

  4. The Bike Life crew recently returned from a Namibian mountain bike adventure. In the latest episode they visit the immense sand dunes and lunar landscapes of Swakopmund. Click here to view the article
  5. We love the process of adventure, the unexpected challenges and rewards. Our Namibian trip was way more rewarding than it was challenging. We flew out of Durban to catch a connecting flight from Johannesburg to Windhoek. In Windhoek, we met up with Patrick de Goede who runs Cycletec in Windhoek and operates bike tours into the Namibian countryside. Click here to view the article
  6. The Desert Dash is no more. THANK YOU Aidan and team for 10 good years and for changing cycling in NAM forever!
  7. Does anybody know the quality of Bioracer cycling clothes? Nedbank has chosen them to supply the Official kit for 2015. (Last year Anatomic was responsible.) "We have a discounted rate for the set - N$ 2900.00 or N$ 1150.00 for the shirt and N$1750.00 for the bib shorts which includes postage/delivery in Namibia and South Africa." Wondered if any other hubbers knows the make?
  8. The 2015 Windhoek Light Namib Quest sees 75 two-man Mountain bike teams navigate their way through harsh, and sometimes sandy, Namibian terrain. Commencing on 24 May 2015, teams will leave the capital city of Windhoek and over the next six days, covering 450km as they make their way to the finish line in Swakopmund.

  9. I'll be in Namibia, Swakopmund to be exact, next week (20th --> 27th). Can anybody point me to some trails in the area? I know of the salt road between Swakop and Walvis (35km one way) which I will ride, but was just wondering who else rides there?
