HAKAHANA TRAILS Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 I did the same route yesterday. Once you turn right off that long dirt road with the bumps along it and start climbing it feels like the hills are not going to end. That black route is a serious leg worker.well done on your perseverance mate. Thats Rinkhals, and only half of what it will soon be!
HAKAHANA TRAILS Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 Its only three weekends since we opened and many lessons learnt already... Thanks to all those who have ridden so far and the constructive feedback. This can only get better!!
HAKAHANA TRAILS Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 Cycled there today... all I can say is true mountain biking. Black route is hard on the legs and the decline is aweaome... didnt get to the red route but if thats tougher than red... shew im in big troubleCheers mate! The red is tough, in a different way. Later you will see there are multiple combinations you can try, each with a different rhythm. (eg. Rinkhals in reverse is an awesome downhill, but requires serious effort to get up the first bit).
Muggins Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 When more or less will that other 5 km section of Rhinkals come on line?
HAKAHANA TRAILS Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 When more or less will that other 5 km section of Rhinkals come on line?Its complicated. But probably 3-4 weeks. Want to have it up by december.
HAKAHANA TRAILS Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 Its complicated. But probably 3-4 weeks. Want to have it up by december. Remember that is 5k (with almost 200m additional elev and a stupendous downhill section)
Muggins Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Don't get me wrong, that existing Rhinkals is enough to work ones legs over well and proper. I take my hat off to anyone that rides that Entire Rhinkals with out stopping.

rouxtjie Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Did a bit of a recce there over the weekend....super place. Safe parkingAwesome trailhead that is well stocked with goodies and the tannie makes a mean bacon and egg rollWe did the blue, black, green and red....with the black being the standout. The views are very cool but bring your climbing legs. The downs are technical and rocky and will reward anyone that knows their way around a bike. For the spruit enduro rats...you guys should check this out as a potential enduro venue. Will definitely be back, would be awesome if there is a link between them and fun gaalens.
Hennie VR Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Will definitely be back, would be awesome if there is a link between them and fun gaalens. Are you on a suicide mission

rouxtjie Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Are you on a suicide mission hahahahha no no no, it could be pretty cool piece of trail with alehouse being a half way stop....lekker rough and technical
Hennie VR Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 hahahahha no no no, it could be pretty cool piece of trail with alehouse being a half way stop....lekker rough and technical Ja must admit that would be pretty awesome ride.Legs will be screaming for mercy after all that climbing.
HAKAHANA TRAILS Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 hahahahha no no no, it could be pretty cool piece of trail with alehouse being a half way stop....lekker rough and technicalFunny you say that. One landowner on Rinkhals has recently offered just that. We're thinking of calling it Franks 'T'. watch this space.
Squier Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 A link between V Gaalens and Hakahana would be awesome! What distance are we looking at between the two. Rouxtjie, what sort of mileage and climbing metres did you rack up on your ride?
