Joe_Cogs Posted August 22, 2012 Share Apparently there is a far more technical route if you go out the gate? My riding there has been mellow there. I stay in the reserve. Are there other routes? Pieter I might join you Cav, you guys should join our rides as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter I might join you Cav, you guys should join our rides as well! Yup - Groenkloof is pretty tame. If you head over to Fountains it gets fun - they've hosted a few provincials there and have a variety of tracks to choose from. Really good fun.

DR ◣◢ Posted August 22, 2012 Share Have you been there before? 'Tis awesome. Havn't been since 2007. Did a relay race there. Was only a short part of the course. 15km laps IIRC Does winning a downhill race there in 1996 count? That was at Fort Klapperkop though Edited August 22, 2012 by S.I.R Maxxis RockCoach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good fun. I love Fountains especially on the trail bike. It just gets me when I'm unfit because I cannot ride it at anything other than full speed and then those sharp little climbs bite you.

That was at Fort Klapperkop though Absa-frikken-lutely. I would love to ride Klapperkop on a MTB. Did plenty of road riding up there. Groenies can be quite technical. It just depends how fast you go through the fun bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
