Honingklip MTB Trails Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 hi all, We starting a new track - what are the pet peeves other tracks do not offer ? What must we do to make the experience more fun, memorable? what does no-one tell you ???
Wayne Potgieter Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Id like strippers and beer at the top of large climbs.
Honingklip MTB Trails Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Beer you can have when you come down the trail! and it is on tap
Amberdrake Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Somewhere i can leave the Fiance while doing my 3+ hour ride? That wont cost 10% in bike value when bill comes around. Maybe a place to stay overnight? i am ignoring the obvious parts like killer singletrack,climbs with awesome views and everything else that makes for well balanced MTB.
Honingklip MTB Trails Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Views are free and everywhere - Mountain climbs - well just wait and see you can choose to go around it, or just plain over it! Over night, is coming, but not as yet - phase one first... We will be doing walking trails soon too - there is a brewery on the farm Its beginning phases, but always room for comments etc when we open... nothing is set in stone
Wayne Potgieter Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 there is a brewery on the farm Close the thread now.
Jeanpg Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Architect's pickiness, but it would be awesome if you could actually fit your water bottle under the taps in the bathrooms (or even better - outside taps for drinking/ filling bottles).
Wayne Potgieter Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 On a serious note, i always thought having a refrigeration facility would be a good idea. Nothing worse than having a LOOONG ride, and getting back to the car, and your recovery drink is super warm. I would like a place where i could store my bottle with my own recovery drink, and when i get back from my ride, its ice cold on lovely. Maybe some form of ticketing system similar to Grocery bag check ins etc to avoid theft.
Honingklip MTB Trails Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Water - not a problem - we have spring water from the mountain - so as long as coloour is not a problem, you cant get fresher
Thermophage Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 To be honest...just more flowwy tracks with some multiple lines in sections and jumps...makes riding with/against your friends so much more fun...Jumps in between DH and XC ... definitely needed
Madlight Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Personally I prefer my tracks to be 333m and made from oiled wood. But cold beer and a hot masseuse can always come in handy

Amberdrake Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I vote you have a test day and we come try it out Fiance says Saturday works for her.....
marko35s Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 The name sounds familiar, do you have a 4x4 trail there already?
Honingklip MTB Trails Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 Yip we have a 4x4 trail There are o signs yet - as soon as sign-age is up - then we can chat about a ride
marko35s Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Yip we have a 4x4 trail There are o signs yet - as soon as sign-age is up - then we can chat about a rideSo I am guessing you are Richard then, from the 4x4 community forum? Welcome to the madness that is the Hub. If the MTB trail is half as well received as the 4x4 trail on your farm you will have a hit on your hands. Oh and a free "test" day as you did with the 4x4 trail (minus maybe the axle deep, jeep swallowing mud) would be brilliant
