Just East of Hartebeespoort Dam, Gauteng, Hakahana consists of farm lands, covered in dry, arid savannah. This new venue adheres to all of the previous TrailSeekers’ criteria – amongst other things being near to both Pretoria and Johannesburg. The combination of fast dual-track and a custom built single track guarantees an exciting and diverse race route. Last but not least, it once again caters for all levels of riders and provides fun-filled family entertainment.

How does it compare to the van Gaalens race ? That broke me 3 years back and it's taken me until this year to feel like re-entering !

Johan Vorster from Hakahana has been a busy man...converted 3500ha of lush bushveld into amazing cycling trails in the past 9 months.

Please tell me the route is much improved compared to last year and we are not sent up the stupid side of the concrete mountain only to have a paved descent on the other side. Also, "dondering" through Gerotek sucked.

 

Give us some good news - make it more like Van Gaalens and I'll be there.

No Jezza - got the opportunity to do Pioneer and decided to hook that up this year.

 

Rattlesnake hurt me too much last time - felt like a `free Ho` at a Miner`s golf day - just got it hard all day.

[Mr Winter]

In for this one, been looking forward to it as it broke me proper last year and I almost came off at the floating bridge

 

This time I'm going to smash it.

Rode some of the new trails at Hakahana yesterday...Soon to be one of the best MTB trail networks on the Highveld.

I quite liked "dondering" through Geotek and the "stupid side" of the mountain.

Hey guys,

 

I have good news for Hakahana...no more (almost) un-rideable concrete climb in the Orient...More awesome flowing hand-built single track and separate routes for all distance which means less congestion!

[Tim_Fair]

Team is hard at work preparing the trails for #Hakahana
