Cassie Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 R200 for non PaarlMTB members ... Better still...join Paarl MTB and then you can ride their routes as well...They link up in any case!!
NicoBoshoff Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Better still...join Paarl MTB and then you can ride their routes as well...They link up in any case!! You don't have to be a member of PaarlMTB to ride Paarl trails. The trails are on public land and are built by volunteers when they have the time. But joining is free so whatever.
LouisF17 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 (First organised group ride on the newly completed trail, as per PaarlMTB) RIDE #2863 - Louis Ferreira 0844886969 DATE: 2014-02-15 LEAVING @ 6:00 AMFROM Vineyard Spar CentreBIKE MTBRIDE TYPE SocialTERRAIN MountainESTIMATES 4 RIDE TIME, DISTANCE & AVG SPEED± 2-3hrs, ± 40 km, ± funPACE MediumSUITABLE 4 WHO? Average Rhebokskloof Single Track is finished! Want to go and ride the complete, now marked, route. The route officially opens on Friday 21 Feb. From Friday next week the day fee will be R30. Annual permits are also available from next week...at a much reduced rate for PaarlMTB riders. This is officially our 'home route'. Will ride a loop from the South in the Mountain before heading to Rheboks. Scorcher tomorrow, hence earlier start.
SeaBee Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Louis, you're playing with fragile emotions here... BTW - do we have to wear the boards on-bike? Or will on-person suffice? I already have one on-bike board as is...
LouisF17 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Bike boards are fairly small, just like the Cluver / Thandi boards. On person should be fine.
PhilipV Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I saw the boards at my local signage Shop today. if you dont like zipties, go the Velcro or gear tie route.
TAAHIRWP Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 These pics make me wanna ride. Right now Images makes this place looks good, are the trails aimed at a more relaxed cross country style of riding?
georgedup Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 And to think this trail is in my backyard!!!Awesome
LouisF17 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Images makes this place looks good, are the trails aimed at a more relaxed cross country style of riding? Absolutely. We had a good few noobs down the trail and they loved it. Some serious riders like Epic podium riders also really enjoy the route. The initial climb through the vineyards to Google ridge is a bit of a burn but definitely worth it once you are on the singletrack.
LouisF17 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 The trail officially opens tomorrow, whoop whoop! From 08h00. Park in the designated parking area at the trail starting point and then just ride to the Restaurant to get your permit. From Saturday the trail will be open everyday from 07h00. Please post any feedback you may have. Positive and / or negative :]
