BouncingBrain Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Hope you had a great ride.We would love some feedback please Hi Pete. I might have met you this past Saturday with my friends who unfortunately crashed on our way out. The red route was nice and technical. I'll definitely be back for more. Looking forward to the new plans in store
Pete the Pirate Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Hi I think you probably met Cliff on the way out. I was busy further down the trail. Cliff said it looked like a nasty fall. Is your friend OK? Very happy that you enjoyed the trail. The new red section will be a lot better after some rain to bed it down. See you on the trail. Safe cycling. Cheers. Pete

PeteAgree, the new section needs a bit of rain and riding to settle. Looking forward to concurring this section but will need plenty of trying and falling. Nice tech challenge to the non-tech folk!Saw you guys hard at work on the trails while we were having fun All the hard work is appreciated! thanks Pete and Cliff!
Pete the Pirate Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Cool. Africa is not for sissies. Thanks for the encouragement Keep spreading the love of the ride

Eldron Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I took a ride through BCC on Saturday after not having been there for a while and wow the boys have been hard at work! New trail, reverse direction, more technical stuff, swept single track. I dig it. Great work! It was lekker chatting to Cliff and seeing the passion in the man. Awesome stuff. See you all tomorrow night!
doczessop Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 We rode the trail including the new section on Saturday morning. New section very technical. Love it, especially the bridges and rock garden. I still need to figure out the lines over the bridges and rock gardens so was very sketchy at some points. Some sections still need to be ridden in so soft sand around can be tricky. Reversing the track was a good idea as it seems to have added more flow. Great effort by all involved as it has blossomed over the last two yrs. We started riding from the start and the track has just got better and better. Best R30 you can spend.
Pete the Pirate Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Thanks Folks.Cliff has a great idea for firming up the soft sandy humps using sand bags and wire in the absence of rain.Hopefully we will have this done and running early into January.
Pete the Pirate Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Thanks to all who joined us last night - a great turnout. The pizzas and beers were not to bad either We are looking to promote this as a fixed monthly event for the last Thursday of every month starting again in January Safe cycling
scotty Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Cool ride, bit slippery and nearly saw my rear end a few times in some of the corners, when dried out it will flow nicely.
svm3000 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Morning All Cliff is wanting to put up a bike wash at the Container at the start/end of the trail , he is asking if anyone has +- 6 plastic pallets as the wood ones will eventually rot away Thanks Sean
