  1. Not sure how to title this post that I'm devastated to be writing... but I thought I must share. Erik had a bad accident last night and broke his neck. He's one of the toughest people I have ever met and I'm sure he'll pull through this! here's the post his son Victor put on Facebook:- "Morning everyone, posting on behalf of my old man. Last night at 07:00 he was cycling back home after training with me . He was'nt home for dinner, and is no stranger to late night cycles. After a half hour I started searching for him, phoning his cell countless times. Eventually I heard his calls for help, 10m from our entrance, he was blinded by lights and fell down a storm drain, breaking his nek at 6/7. He could not feel his legs, unnable to answer his phone. He is now in brits mediclinic with a possibility of being moved. We thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We know him, lying down, and lying still are not one of his favorite things to do. Hes in good spirits , incredibly fit and has a never say die attitude, well take it on the chin, roll with the punches...my mother's given him so many kisses he loves the attention hes getting. I am his contact person for the time being." Thoughts, prayers, well wishes to the master trail builder
  2. Our third and final outing in our search for the North West province's finest trails took us to the lesser known Pofadder trail at Van Gaalen's. With no markings or signage in sight, it's a great idea to have a local show you around this rough and rocky part of town - and to experience all the off-piste goodness it has to offer - it's an even better idea to bring a proper long-travel trail bike along for the ride.

  3. Event Name: Ashburton Investments National MTB Series VAN GAALEN When: 11 June 2016 Where: Van Gaalen Cheese Farm, R560, North West, North West Category: MTB Many Gauteng mountain bikers rate the trails as Van Gaalen Cheese farm as the best in the province. Known for the abundance of single track and varied terrain with the occasional hard climb. Expect big numbers and exhilarating racing! Van Gaalen has over the last 7 years built a seemingly endless amount of trails that snakes over the Magalies, through ravines and gorges, along sweet contours, and carves absolutely sick lines along the river banks. The event will showcase a combination of the best of mountain biking that Van Gaalens has to offer come and truly explore the Magalies area! Go to Event Page

  6. I found a GoPro Hero 3 while taking part in the marathon race At Van Gaalen this past weekend (06\06\2015). I picked it up at the 35km mark. It contains some footage of a family doing a ride at The Big Red Barn. Here are some screenshots taken from the GoPro. Apologies for invading your privacy a bit but I thought taking some screenshots might help the owner get his GoPro back a bit easier.
