Keep Pedaling Posted June 15, 2012 Share Technical doesn't work for races because it ends in bottlenecks, broken collarbones and unhappy novice riders. Since there is a lot of them it is them who pay a large portion of the entry fee and attract the bigger sponsors. Van Gaalens has plenty technical. Race against your previous best time. Be sure to include the section called 'Broken Collarbone - Danger Very Technical' and 'Pofadder'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter1 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Speaking only for myself, I like variety. Plain and simple. Long gruelling ascentsShort Steep rocky ascentsRock gardensRiver crossingsWet rootsMudGravelSandTechnical descentsTechnical descents with twists in 'emFast sweeping cornersFast corners with bermsFast off-camber cornersTight switchbacksDrop offsRoll offs with nasty groovesLogs to bunny hopA tabletop jump or twoAnd some broken washing machines ..Huey gunships flying overhead to set the mood will be nice too. Seriously though, bar the last two items (I got carried away), gimme 30 kilometres of non-stop interesting challenges and I'll be in MTB heaven.Come ride kings kloof with us some weekend. Its super awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, well it doesn't have all the above, but quite a few. Come to Bains MTB trails in Wellington, 29km of almost non-stop, uninterrupted singletrack, mostly flowing, it's amazing!

Danger Dassie Posted June 15, 2012 Share Try out XCO, short format technical racing. Couple of events are starting up now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Shore Posted June 15, 2012 Share Vori-berg and redstone are pretty much the only races in gauteng, outside of the Nissan series, with any fun technical stuff. If you really want technical you need to head out to Sabie. Do the Mankele (best bike park in SA) avalanche. It will leave you begging for boring single track like babbas, well temporarily.

Beer4Recovery Posted June 15, 2012 Share Just thought about it. Why don't go down 'Track 139' (the DH track in Waterkloof) and then up again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
