Thanks to you and Karl! This trip not only changed my outlook on riding, it changed my outlook on life here in SA and just in general. I cannot recommend this trip enough. If you have the cash spare. Do it. Really, it is that good!

Echo Nico! An adventure beyond comprehension for all lovers of MTB, 12 days was just right...my body was on the verge of collapse, my mind and heart will never get enough!!! Big UP to Duane and Karl! Patient mentors and mad bikers!

So as a matter of interest - how were everyones bikes after 2 weeks of muddiness???

 

Anything to replace? BB's bearings?

I dont know if my sense of humour could have dealt with 2 weeks worth of mud riding

 

I opened mine up last night only....

Cleaned it out, 'put grease in, spin with fingers, put grease in, spin with fingers x 100' now they are smooth again. Good because replacing them is going to be a bitch - being a press BB and all.

 

The fork lowers I think needs a clean up.

Pretty scary when you lean into a corner and that's what you see.

 

I have soo much footage I don't know where to start editing.

hmmmm...starting to think ahead......

Nice! The reality of the place is about 6000% better tho. And I think I'm being conservative.

 

And yet somehow people choose to rather pay more to ride jeeptrack and doss in a tent in the Cape Winelands for 8 days. The mind boggles.
