The Riding Realtor Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Morning!! I don't get time to ride before work in the morning, and I am currently not riding too much in the afternoons either. No good. Every afternoon when I get home, the wind just takes all my lus away. I recently joined Tygerburg MTB Club, and I've only ridden trails around here a handful of times. My question, are there any of the trails around Durbanville that are "Windy Days" friendly? Or do I just suck it up, load the bike up, and go hit the trails?
udxcob Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Just go to the rails, the wind is not as bad on the trail as it is on the road
camelman Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Used to stay there. That wind makes you strong. Learn to love it. Embrace it. And what's even better are those lekker big lorries with the sand blowing off into your face. ????
The Riding Realtor Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks guys, Let's hop to it then!! Bloemendal this afternoon if anyone is keen
Da Vinci Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Set out yesterday to ride a road loop... Rode the new Bloemendal pump tracky thing and then over the hill past Nitida and onto the road past the quarry. Wind was revolting so opted to climb up Contermanskloof and over the corridor to Meerendal and did a loop there. Makes much more sense to do trails cos it's never a long ass slog into the wind on them!
BrandonF_ Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Hillcrest/Bloemendaler combo is your best bet and a lot more fun than Bloemendal (B-spot side)
The Riding Realtor Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 I haven't linked more than one trail to another. I am new to the area, and to MTB in general, so cautious as to where I ride. I don't know how to get onto all the corridors. Read a map I guess!
DJR Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Wind free Cape Town only exists in the brains of estate agents!
