2 day was great fun, thanks to Farmer Gary and his team. Very chilled atmosphere, great single track riding, managed all the steep bits. had a blast.

What a weekend! The course on each of the days was fantastic. Shot Spioenkop and Mikes Pass. Enjoyed blasting down the single track. Not too technical but nice and fast - above 20km/h avg speed both days! thumbup1.gif

Out of curiosity, for those of you that did the 2 day, was anyone tenting by the pool? In hindsight we should have organized a hub beer session!

Cool - we probably passed each other a few times then :) We were in the row closest to the bank about halfway down.

Nice... you must have been close to the water tower thing. We were top row, last tent from the pool - would've had two PYGA's parked next to it thumbup1.gif

 

Glad our villages tents seemed to stay put. The village above us had tents blown away with Saturday afternoons wind eek.gif .

Sweet pics BearManGuy. What settings were you using for the pics?

 

Fanks! No, nothing special, just IPhone 4 & GoPro pics.

I think me and my partner were the only okes on the Descent with flat pedals - I must admit we whacked those downhill sections, but struggled uphill - who said cleats is a must ? biggrin.png

 

Will be back next year for the Great Trek. Berg and Bush is a top class event! thumbup1.gif

top event! Did the 2 day as usual. Had an absolute blast on Day 1 - first time down Long Drop Pass ... Hmmm i donno ... its cool cus its winds so much! but Everest is a machine route just cus of the all out speed!

 

Pity my Go-pro died on the first day so couldn't get any vids of Princess Margret (which i had a free run down! clap.gif thumbup1.gif )

 

But had a ball on day 2 with the D4 Productions go pro chest mount ... If any of you guys and girls on here who rode the 2 day nearly got taken out by some **** on a GT in White Kit (day 1) and Black kit (day 2) ... I do apologise! .. Especially to the chick who i passed at the end of Day 2 down that last rocky descent ... you just cant take downhillers anyhere ... whistling.gif

 

But the footage was great! Had a free run down Wesleys Way with me chasing one of the other DH guys ... that was cool - have a vid of him whipping it in the air past some poor chick over those new rain humps! Awesome!
