hello, also in durb's from 27th. I dont know how fast u are but safe bets are Holla trails 35 mins up from Umhlanga and giba. both excellent and easy to hook up with other riders.

Hi guys.

Riding Holla tomorrow morning with my wife.

Keen on doing the maroon route. If memory serves its about 25kms?

Anyone else riding?

I plan to be there just after 7. Slow ride to get back into things. I drive a white Discovery 3.

[King_Crispy]

Sweet. Just grabbing a bite and we'll be over

[Dirtbreath]

Heading out on blue which was recommended.

Saw 4 Disco 4's. No 3's. Maybe we catch you?

Parked in far left, close to the bikewash. Sorry to have missed you. Had my arse kicked by blue. Great ride but probably should have done green to start off, especially in this heat.

A note to our visitors - here in summer when the sun is out you should really be wrapping up the ride by 8h00 latest. Local sports enthusiasts normally take advantage of the 4am - 8am window. After that you should not be outside doing physical activity. We then come out again in the very late afternoon.

 

But tomorrow looks like some relief from the heat - much cooler with overcast skies and hopefully a little rain. Perfect Holla weather all day.

Yebo, it is damn hot. Also dont underestimate a 20 k ride. Its a lot tougher than that.

It's going to be a real scorcher tomorrow - it will feel like someone opened a giant furnace door.

 

If you are planning any riding tomorrow, please set your alarms and be up very early so that you can be off the trails/roads by breakfast.
