Wendell Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Very Nice Wendell ! Post this in the events section so more muppits can see it . Hope you feeling better after your get off this post weekend .ps GET OFF THE SADDLE..rather than post. Gees, its hard with BOTH shoulders being strapped up. As they say. abalanced life..hahaha. will post it on events, thanks.
TheV Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 What, think i need to start selling some parts too , give me more free time to ride in the week and not have to do it when its dark . Did the route for the SS champs this coming weekend ( 30odd km ) so ya probly did not get to do the other 60% that there . And remember late comers have the most fun . I'm told the secret to selling parts is to avoid selling the ones you really need...selling your body parts might affect your cycling, just saying... That being said, you SS okes might as well sell your brains.... Not used much, gears are too complicated? Giggle
Mr SingleTrack Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 how does Thaba compare to Kings Kloof with regards to technicality?
TheV Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 how does Thaba compare to Kings Kloof with regards to technicality? Thaba has such a wide variety of trails, you ride at your own level, something for beginners and family, to massive drops, rocks and downhills.... some gradual climbs, and some short technical climbs you cannot imagine someone could ever ride up...

manbearpig Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Ja agreed, was there yesterday. Very lekka riding.
NotSoBigBen Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 What I do like about Thaba and Wendels trails generally is that there are no 'bike breaker' bits en route ..... tough and tricky for sure though and there are quite a few places I have to walk but then again I am a tad technically challenged. I DON'T fall over in parking lots or put pedals on 'inside out' though

The Ghost Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 How do those trails compare to their sisters at the Vlei?
NotSoBigBen Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 How do those trails compare to their sisters at the Vlei? Take the climbing legs you left at home for the Vlei with to Thaba ...... that is the biggest difference in my opinion as well as way more variety of tech stuff (it is a much bigger area) Nearly 500m's of climbing in the 'Thaba Toughee' 20k loop and that's not even using the full options available ....
W@nna-BE Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 both Thaba trails and Rietvlei are awesome, i was at Thaba trails on Saturday, Rietvlei yesterday, was about to kit up and head to Thaba trails but my baby sitter ( mom ) decided she had to go shopping!! now i have to baby sit Wendell and team also sell some nice bikes, i am considering replacing my Titan Elite 26" with his new Titan Carbon 29er.... still in 2 minds though.... decisions decisions........
L.T.G Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I think I must make a plan to try Thaba out...would've had my introduction to it at the SASSC this weekend.... but can't make it anymore I only ever venture South for good food (Parreirinha and when Lusito's on)
rob7x Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Did the Thaba Toughie this morning. Very cool trail and great single track. Will definitely be back there again. Well done Wendell! TheV 1
awesme Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 I love Thaba, haven't ridden for 3 weeks and could feel it yesterday the bit of riding I did, before my gears gave me head aches... If all good will make a turn tomorrow again.

KnobbyMech Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Our first group ride there tomorrow. Can't wait. If it is anything like Rietvlei it will be great.
