Guest Omega Man Posted May 22, 2014 Share Thanks OmegaMaybe the real win is for you to hook up a bike swap day with one of the other guys in our group. I'm sure one of the guys with DH bikes will be keen for a trail bike day. Especially seeing as you have a Pyga. Guys are always keen to ride those.

Guest Omega Man Posted May 22, 2014 Share Just a heads up. One of the guys coming on the trip, Martin, is the Cape Town agent for Ion and Evoc. We are going to be meeting next week to arrange a group rate/discount for Ion and Evoc gear for guys coming on the trip. We'll figure out which shops to deal through (it has to go through a shop) and I'll post up a notice. So if you're thinking about buying kit, kneepads or a pack maybe just hold back for a week and you'll hook up some sweet Ion or Evoc kit at a good price. Deal excludes Ion Camera Edited May 22, 2014 by Omega Man Dan Dob 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/126290-want-to-ride-your-bike-in-the-biggest-mountain-biking-area-in-the-world-20/page/81/#findComment-2306204 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good, as long as they don' forget it's not a downhill bike (and thrash it accordingly)!

I reckon your NW with a top guide and clutch will be cool. I'd be hesitant to just run a NW without a top guide. The tracks are much rougher than here.

And like you said you can get good rentals at Torico. You can also rent a Honda CBR 600 for 90 Euro. Imagine blasting the Alpine passes on one of those puppies for a day......

And thanks in general for making alpine riding an affordable reality for many of us rather than just a bucket list pipe dream.
