TheKaiser Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Awesome man!!!!! That's what it's all about. Think of it this way.... You're the only one who had the stones to give it a bash! Tumbleweed 1
OneMac Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Glad you are OK!Groenkloof is great!It something for those starting off, and something to test those wanting a challenge .... and you may need to stop for the zebra on the way!
Tumbleweed Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Awesome man!!!!! That's what it's all about.Think of it this way.... You're the only one who had the stones to give it a bash! Hahah! It was one of the better hub rides we had...even if I did end up with broken ribs and a fractured elbow! Joeboy69 and Meentb 2

johanpre44 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Ribs and elbow damage from this fall? Not nice!On the plus side, free mud bath (ladies pay plenty for that at a spa, I've heard). I was at Heia Safari yesterday with a friend, stopped just before the new "curved" floating bridge, and chickened out. A big group was standing and watching, and they ragged me bigtime. I still think the chicken run was the better choice (I don't have a good history with floating bridges). Hope you heal up soon!.
Weight Weenie Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 They seem to be busy with a pump track at Groenies opposite the bathrooms and next to the play area, looks like fun! Also new signage at the bike start and more jungle gyms for the kids as well as seating and a "coffee shop" at the kiosk with pancakes etc. Foot trails also have distance markers now, though I wish they would add a few more trails for hiking and running.

Muddy Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Dis net my persoonlike ervaring, en hy is ook nie meer beginners vriendelik nie, al my beginner pelle kla daaroor. Kan nie meer verskil nie. Dis een van die dinge wat groenies so lekker maak. Vir elke tegniese deel is daar n chicken run. Daar is basies n buite en n binne track. Die buite track het geen tegniese obstacle behalwe dalk met die uitsondering van die stuk langs Christina/Botha teen die draad oppad terug. Maar selfs hierdie hoef jy nie te vat om terug te kom by die begin. Jy sal nie n meer beginner friendly venue kry as groenies nie. As jou pelle kla moet hulle dalk net die training wiele laat afhaal want dit is geneig om aan klipped vas te haak.

It was on the uphill singletrack that the poo hit the fan. Was on the wheel of dassie, dirt-rider and The Thug, when my pedal caught a rock and I went flying. Luckily the beers were cold at the end!
