Guest notmyname Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Tell you, after reading the sign, when i did the yellow, close to the water, i was a bit scared...every rustle, movement of branches made my wee a wee bit...There's also a sign on the red route as you get to the river section in that thicket.
RocknRolla Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 There's also a sign on the red route as you get to the river section in that thicket.Yeah, I kinda only realised that was what it was for when I read the sign on the yellow...did not take time to read it on the red section.... To my dismay
ByronH Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Did something happen with a hippo there recently? Sorry haven't ridden there in a few weeks...
L.T.G Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Did something happen with a hippo there recently? Sorry haven't ridden there in a few weeks...A hippo was spotted, signs were put up just to warn riders.You don't want to mingle and shoot the breeze with wild life... ESPECIALLY a Hippo!!They are NOT slow!
RocknRolla Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 This is the second hippo that made it's way to the dam. Luckily no incident thus far.
Guest notmyname Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 It's pretty crazy/cool. I live in fairland so it's pretty close to home and there are HIPPO there. I love this city.

DR ◣◢ Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Saw the signs on our last ride. Makes you think  One incident that pissed me off to no end was supporting the restaurant after the ride only to be told to wait outside for the order.  Not sure what to make of this.Â
L.T.G Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Off topic as far as the trails are concerned but this is why you want to stay away from them... on land or in water! Â

We did the loop around and then added Yellow to the ride. Just a little dust and sweat.  My girlfriend returned the boards and went to buy some drinks. After she ordered they asked her to go stand outside. Not cool. I won't be supporting them again. Will ride, but I'm taking my own refreshments with for after the ride.
