droenn Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I did a couple of laps on this a few weeks back. Very nice ride, although I think next time I'll link it up with some of the other Paarl tracks (only ridden in Paarl this once). Keen to check it out now that its rained a bit too, especially if its cleared off some of those sandy sections. But ducking in and out of the little forest sections was heaps of fun and it has some really nice flowing parts to it. The climb at the start isn't too hectic either

Johny Bravo Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Do you know if there was any rain damage to the trail after the heavy rains early April?Rode it last weekend, def some rain damage, some deep ruts in places, but also the top layer of sand has been washed away, so I had much more grip in the corners. We are riding there again tomorrow, cant wait.

GLuvsMtb Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 any idea of total ascent for this trail? Thinking of getting my vote in early on Wednesday and then to go and explore some new trails. This one came to mind.
nonky Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 The fall??I would tend to edit it out??? nah, def keep it in / real
Johny Bravo Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 any idea of total ascent for this trail? Thinking of getting my vote in early on Wednesday and then to go and explore some new trails. This one came to mind.It is about 350metres. We are going to ride Rheboks first Wednesday morning, and then go vote. Priorities my friend.
LouisF17 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 nah, def keep it in / real should see the fall I had during an early morning night ride... posting video soon ;]
emme Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 To those that have done this ride after/during rain,how rideable is it in the wet?
Johny Bravo Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Has not rained since yesterday morning. Should be fine to ride today. Paarl mountain drains quite quickly.
emme Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Has not rained since yesterday morning. Should be fine to ride today. Paarl mountain drains quite quickly. How is it now after the heavy rains of the past few days(weeks?)Rideable?
Johny Bravo Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 How is it now after the heavy rains of the past few days(weeks?)Rideable?Nope. Def not this weekend.
Sakman Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Rode the trail on youth day after two days of rain. Virtually no damage and soil nicely compacted. Again a unique experience
emme Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 Does anyone know if Rhebokskloof did receive PPA funding for extension of their trails? Can you imagine them upping the single track distance to 20-odd km??
cadenceblur Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Hi Thinking of checking this trail out over the weekend? What can I expect? Anybody been there recently?
