For once lucky you are in Slaapstad. Could be on Everest where the Tjops dump tons of crap every year including cylinders!!

You haven't caught a whiff of the pong caused by people shitting in the bushes next to the trail in the lower part of Tokai! Stupid stupid stupid, especially as it is always within a few hundred metres of the parking area where there are perfectly good toilets.

Mountain bikers don't litter on the trails they ride. If you litter, you are not embracing the etho's of the ride. It doesn't matter how many f****ing race you win, you are not a mountain biker if you toss your gu wrapper on the trail. Being a Mountain biker is more than just skills or riding fast, It is also an attitude, and beer, beer is important.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

 

and then definitely the beer.

What?! Oh, the sh*t.. yes, toilet training. I see the baboons break into the toilets in the night, I wonder why Parks are locking the only set of toilets in the area?

 

I mean really, baboons desperately breaking into the toilets and people shitting next to the trail... why does that all seem so wrong?

 

We MUST be near the end!

agree that litter is disgusting. I use the "gu squeegies" (however you spell that). You buy a huge bottle of gel and then you have a mini waterbottle that to put your goo in. It's easy and simple and doesn't make a mess at all. If we as a MTB community start using these, then the manufacturers will also make lesser amounts of the packets and sell it in bottle form.

That is a much better system...

Daar is BAIE vuilgatte daar buite! Ogelukkig ry baie van hulle ook fiets. 'n Vuilgat het ook geen self respek nie en het nog minder respek vir sy mede mens en die natuur. Etters

Sadly yesterday was no different at Die Burger.

 

Had to k@k some @sshole out on the road. I got so worked up about his littering that I kept on harrasing him. Just wish I could remember his number so I can report him to the race organisers. F2180 is the number I seem to remember. Big dude. If you know this person, tell him to stop being a d**s. If I have the wrong number, sorry.

[Wannabe]

Also crapped all over a chap who took the wrapper out of his pocket and then chucked it to the side of the road once finished munching. NUMBER B1186. NOT COOL AND NOT ON, DUDE. :thumbdown:

[Stefalbertyn]

Now I feel even worse! My first post here and I have to confess - I'm not ne of the above numbers, but...

Its been bothering me the whole day Sunday - I had a GU gel (my first one while riding) and managed to squirt it all over my hand (being a newbie at this) I let go of the wrapper, I think it landed on the road, I was so peeved at my sticky hand that for a few seconds I did not care - and then I did but I was a few hundred meters down the road, I should have turned around but I did not. with the other two I had I was much more carful and kept them in a pocket until I could dump them at the last Coke stand.

 

Sorry earth!

This past weekend was The Vlei 24-hour race, and you should have seen the rubbish left behind at Rietvlei in the picnic area, which is off bounds to cyclists.

 

The amount of rubbish (plastic, paper plates, glass bottles, food) left by the "day visitors" in the picnic areas - I won't say who they were because some may call me racist. The common reply is "it's job creation"

I wonder why they don't make biodegradable GU sachets actually. Damn good idea. But there's some odd contradictions in cleaning up. For example, collecting dog doo (biodegradable) in a plastic packet. It's all very strange. I can't say I'd worry about throwing out a banana skin. If anything, it's good for the soil (ashes to ashes type stuff) instead of being dug metres deep in a landfill with other crap that'll never sustain anything natural ever again.
