SeaBee Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Hope all is okay on your farm! Apparently some more wetness coming this week. Super impressed with the trails, the sections we rode - it was really in awesome condition for any time of the year. After the rains in recent times, downright miraculous shape!
Matts 300 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Went for a ride on the white route yesterday...the single track down was amazing, and the views are amazing! BUT we started riding at 4:30 and finished after 7! Those short steep climbs broke us! Enjoyed it altogether and I'm looking forward to the next ride! Tanx to the owner for al the work they do there!
The Search Posted September 29, 2013 Author Posted September 29, 2013 Routes is still in great condition after this long wet winter. Looks likes summer has arrived, we hope.
SeaBee Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Another great day out there, just came through from home and rode the opening loop and back home again... But whaaaat?! Chainrings cut out?! I was so looking forward to that section today. Is it a permanent reroute or just a temporary shortcut? At least I then had the energy to ride the starting climb of the yellow loop to go home via Bains road... Hardly ever stopped smiling, such a beaut of a ride! Thanks for all the effort going in there!
Jaco-fiets Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I recently discovered some great singletrack in Bainskloof. The best singletracks in Wellington in my opinion. If I understand correctly it will be part of the black route

The Search Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 Seabee that reroute is not permanent but it will be a while before it will be open again. The Black route will be launched early December. Will keep you up to date.
SeaBee Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Great news, thanks for the feedback! I was just like... whaaaat?! yesterday, coming through the trees and looking forward to that little section. Good to hear it will be back. That little bit between the trees right after the two "chainrings" (before you go up to the road) is one of the most peaceful bits anywhere, I just love it. Is the black route the singletrack going out of yellow I've been told about?

Is the black route the singletrack going out of yellow I've been told about? I think you are correct. I never follow the marked trails. I more or less know where all the good bits are so I do my own route according to time I have available. You are welcome to join us sometime. There are still a few tracks that I spot through the tree lines that I have not even tried yet

SeaBee Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Hmmm, really like what you're doing there with the rerouting of chainrings!
The Search Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 The Black Route will be launched 7December2013.27km with 1100m climbing and a lot of singletrack.
Ratty Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 The Black Route will be launched 7December2013.27km with 1100m climbing and a lot of singletrack. Best I bring the climbing legs for this one.
SeaBee Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Dear Santa... we gonna require some legs in the region - best bring lots! THAT's gonna be good training!
