vinylguy Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Hi all Anybody Ridden their before? Any tips on what routes to ride ect?
quintonb Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Brilliant riding. Was there yesterday, be careful of snakes. My son nearly rode right over one. Don't know what it was, didn't stick around too long... Very good, well groomed trails. Well worth the visit.
Bobbo_SA Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Awesome riding out there on Sunday, did 20 odd Kms with some serious climbing!
ScottCM Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Was there for the first time today. Awesome trails just got lost a few times as the marking misses me or I missed the markings
RockCoach Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Brilliant riding. Was there yesterday, be careful of snakes. My son nearly rode right over one. Don't know what it was, didn't stick around too long... Very good, well groomed trails. Well worth the visit. Locals say there are a few black mambas there. A few weeks ago I nearly rode over one in a game farm in the Waterberg...
leona Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 this enduro route.. it says 120mm travel bikes. how realistic is that?
Tayyib Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 My local spot when I stayed in durban,try and ride all the trails mix it up as you go along,guys are right about the snakes aswell,iv had a black mamba go straight over my front wheel there before...the freeride trail is pretty awesome aswell,just make sure you got company with you as some sections are knarley. nonky 1
Gen Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Giba is aweaome man.. you lot are so fortunate. . Have ridden it 4 times since we got here on Saturday. . We go an combine the blue route and the green route ans well whatever we feel like riding, get a good 27-30km or so.(not sure what i did today but fell twice today, think I may have gotten a bit windgat).. bummed that we go back to flat lands on saturday. nonky 1
WezGK Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I rode there yesterday, did about 45kms also split between the green and blue and fell about 4 times but well worth it. U guys are spoilt with single track like Giba! Honestly some hair-raising sections but that keeps the heartrate up Loved every second! nonky 1
leona Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 so back to my question... do you actually need a 120mm travel bike for the enduro section or are they just covering themselves?
Gen Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 so back to my question... do you actually need a 120mm travel bike for the enduro section or are they just covering themselves? Lol my husband has 100m travel and does fine on that enduro bit, we rode part of it the other day, I have 120mm travel so I am covered ha ha
RockCoach Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Really depends which Enduro section you are talking about.
Nofearnofun Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 so back to my question... do you actually need a 120mm travel bike for the enduro section or are they just covering themselves? As SLiiick said it depends on the trail. Your skill level comes into play as well. I manage all the trails on my 120mm travel bike but prefer my 150mm travel bike.
Gen Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Sigh.. we are home again.. I am already suffering from Giba withdrawl.. jis I hope the locals know how fortunate they are. (Deon) 1
RockCoach Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Sigh.. we are home again.. I am already suffering from Giba withdrawl.. jis I hope the locals know how fortunate they are. Cascades, Karkloof, Howick... A bunch of us are heading down again next week. Karkloof Enduro Nofearnofun 1
