SeaBee Posted October 20, 2014 Share Was on the far side of white the morning the fire started - initially thought it was mist rolling over... Thought that this was looking bad when I realised it's smoke, so very glad to hear it's okay. Hopefully not too much other damage...(?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Search Posted October 22, 2014 Share 2015 Cape Epic is coming back to Wellington. 3x Stages involves Wellington and stage 6 is Welvanpas and our Black route is included in that stage. Brilliant!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBee Posted October 31, 2014 Share Search - I saw that there's a trail run on tomorrow... Just for planning the weekend - will some sections of the trails be closed Saturday morning? If so, which sections and where can I ride if I do come through on Sat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted November 3, 2014 Share Just out of interest, what are the chances of cutting a dedicated DH track running parallel to the Pass near Heaven's Gate/PointBreak? I noticed that there are two forestry entrances about 1.6km apart from each other along the Pass which could serve as shuttle drop-off an pick-up points. Obviously one would still pay for the privilege. Just a wild thought. The gradient and terrain is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBee Posted November 4, 2014 Share Went through on Sunday and just confirmed to myself again... that Point Break is just the most awesome little piece of track around! It's got a bit of everything - if that does not leave you grinning, you're part of the Walking Dead cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got a bit of everything - if that does not leave you grinning, you're part of the Walking Dead cast. Which piece is that? White or black? I've only done white... Think it's time I head back there, this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaBee Posted November 5, 2014 Share Point Break is part of the black section. If you follow the designated route, I think it's the 3rd section of singletrack you get. Heaven's gate, then another without name, to get to Point Break. Go ride black/yellow combo. You'll thank me (and the trail builders!) later... I told a friend just yesterday it's hard to believe it's on the same trails due to a lot of black being "forresty" - it's in the section of woods/plantation above the tar road. So a bit more climbing involved than white, but nothing Everesty. And that's taking nothing away from white! It remains awesome and I enjoy that. It's just the sheer fun of Point Break that's hard to equal. And I'm not a strong technical rider... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Search Posted November 6, 2014 Share So that's a no I guess...Maybe in the future, at the moment building / extending the Black Route getting it Epic ready. This will be some of the best singletrack anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
