Garfield2010 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 http://kingskloofmtb.co.za/about/ What is the general feeling about this venue and the trails available? Is their a restaurant one can have lunch at as well?
Mr SingleTrack Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 the trails (I have only done the black one) is fairly technical, awesome ride though
MtbBarbie Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Love the trails at Kings! Tough, but a good 22km loop! There is no restaurant, you pay for your entrance at a little shop at the entrance! Edited March 26, 2012 by MtbBarbie
SteveS Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Went there last Wednesday. Black route is a good workout and technical. Route is well marked up to about 18km then the markers just vansihed (unless we missed something) Ended going down past a storeroom and down to the tarred road and the rode back to the start along it (about 2kms).
Garfield2010 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 Wow thanks. Look sawesome! Lots of riders on the routes?
MtbBarbie Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Not really! Bumped into one or two riders on route!
Baaisikilist Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 The 1st half is awesome, quite technical, which is what I love. But from when you cross onto another 'plot', it fizzles out, markings are also up to interpretation as at some points you have the same colour arrows pointing in 2 directions. Worst part is that there's a dual direction singletrack on a relatively technical slate section, a disaster if I come bombing it down there while somebody's climbing it. Place has huge potential if they did something with the R30 bux u pay to get in...
Weight Weenie Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 I'm keen to go run there, how is the safety if I go alone ?
MtbBarbie Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Its pretty safe WW! Saw a couple guys running there alone on Saturday! Although it makes no sense to me why you'd run if you have a bicycle

Although it makes no sense to me why you'd run if you have a bicycle Ja ja you guys should give trailrunning a bash it's really awesome I'm training for the Magalies Mayhem 3 day trail run at Van Gaalen's so need to get the miles in
rattlesnake Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I found this route quite tough going, more technical then groenkloof, 1st 10kms is quite a test, gets easier after that. Don't be surprised if the the 1st 10kms takes you 45-50 minutes
Garfield2010 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 Ok but there are 4 different routes with different difficulty levels?
rattlesnake Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) I think so - we did black routeOh - and no coffee shop.There is a little pad stal (caravan) next to the parking area that sells a few refreshments and snacks.No place to sit down or anything like that.

Wayne68 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Route markers need some attention...............rode there last week for the 1st time and alone - not pleasant. The grass is as long as what you are tall on some sectionsso you can see nothing either way.... had no idea where i was twice, stripped my moer and left ater an hour..........
Weight Weenie Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 We're going there tomorrow. Anyone got some GPS routes for us ?
