nigelhicks Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Stage 3. My pick of the 3.Take care on the 'Mine-shaft' We may have to add a "BEGIN BRAKING HERE" board about 50m back from the turn into Voodoo Lounge. Dave and I are thinking of Slaloming the Mineshaft to help reduce speed a bit. ...Also maybe (if we have time adding in a wall ride or 2 on the bank on the right ...Otherwise its too fast ... FUN .. but too fast!
JPD Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Also saw two of these bad boys in the road heading back to town on Suday evening...It's been warm lately so they seem to be about. 20150125_191812.jpg Puffy's?

FUN .. but too fast!Good idea. You get up to speed very quickly on there and the drainage humps send you flying! Getting it wrong there would not be ideal. @JPD, ja I think so. Quite darkly coloured from puffy's I've seen before.@Sidewinder, they are everywhere! This one just happened to be on the road.
nigelhicks Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Supermill Rolling through Stage 2 of the KZNMTB Karkloof Enduro
Bizkit031 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Stage 3. My pick of the 3.Take care on the 'Mine-shaft' We may have to add a "BEGIN BRAKING HERE" board about 50m back from the turn into Voodoo Lounge. Stage 2 is busy rendering and will be up ASAP. Daaaaamn I remember Mine shaft from my days racing the Classic,it's daaaaamn fast and sometimes a little slippery under wheel.hells bells but we are gonna be knackered after this Enduro but satisfied with a big smile running from ear to ear.
Spoke101 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Anyone keen to meet-up and do a course pre run on Sunday?
nickelass Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I was planning to do the camp over option, but am unable to email the organizers for this,( comes up on my computer that the email address does not exist.) Don't mind just paying on arrival, would this be ok? Has everyone booked for the camping online?
nigelhicks Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 you need to contact Anita Turvey regarding camping. Send Supermill a PM and ask for the Turveys cell number. I am sure he has it ...
Super_mil Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 You can contact Anita on anita@dekosa.co.za
Nofearnofun Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Hey all, I have two spots in the car. We are driving from Jhb on Friday and returning on Sunday after the downhill. If you are looking for transport down to karkloof drop me a P.M.
JPD Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Hey Nigel/Dave, I noticed some debris on Saturday am, most notably on SP1 (Rene's), where I actually had to get off and climb over it. Other than that the trails are looking good (just super slippey at 6am after some over night rain lol)
David D Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Hey Nigel/Dave, I noticed some debris on Saturday am, most notably on SP1 (Rene's), where I actually had to get off and climb over it. Other than that the trails are looking good (just super slippey at 6am after some over night rain lol) Thanks for the heads up. Last weekend it was all clear. Must have fallen during the week. We will be having a team do a final sweep through this week to clear any newly fallen branches.
nigelhicks Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 @JPD Thanks for the heads up - can you be a bit more specific on the section where the debris was? Renne's before the little climb ... After the climb but before the dam wall crossing ... After the dam wall Thanks

After the climb but before the dam wall crossing ... After the dam wall Thanks the main obstacle was a thick log across the trail after the rock garden (after the dam wall) before entering that Yellowood Park section then there were some branches (mostly rideable, one i have to bundu bash to get around) in the top section before the climb if I remember correctly.
