shaper Posted January 13, 2015 Share So this is why the trails become straight... as the fast guys cut the bends to overtake slower riders on the trail... cutting new trails that destroy the trails built by the trail builder Someone tell the spruit fairies that it is actually the technically gifted rather than the technically challenged who are destroying their trails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtbBarbie Posted January 13, 2015 Share Hi there, Yes it was me who you tried to pass on Sunday. I don't want a mud slinging contest so here are my concerns: I was riding with my 60 year old mom at Northerns on Sunday when you came screeming into the single track shouting for us to move as you were coming in fast. As for VERY slow, I'm not even going to say a word! My mom had to uncleat and move over, where it wasn't really possible. Could you not have waited five minutes for a clearing to pass? Northerns is a family riding spot, imagine that was a kid you had snuck up on? I'm all for unskilled people staying off the black routes, that's why we weren't at Thaba! I think you should take your travel and ride some real technical stuff where us slow people don't hold you up? The guy riding behind you actually complimented my mom and told her to relax and just ride, you should try that sometime! We have been riding northern farms for 15 years, this is not a New Years resolution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimsum Posted January 13, 2015 Share So I had an incident at Northern Farms this weekend. It was ridiculously busy (new year resolutions in full swing) and I should've just left. Nevertheless, it was late in the morning and I expected most to be returning from the ride.I don't consider a single element of NF to be technical and rate it as easy and 'manicured' and generally go there for two reasons, distance and convenience.Whilst going through some single track (known as blue gum single track on strava) i caught some VERY slow riders and informed them of my intention to overtake as well as on which side to expect me to be coming passed on. This seemed to cause a lot derision in the group of riders, with one of them complaining they "nearly" fell over and one protesting that "it's single track and passing isn't allowed" Really? not according to the IMBAMy thoughts are this.The average mountain biker in this country needs to re-assess their skill levels and be honest with themselves about their skill and ride where applicable (dirt roads). If a rider crashing through the bush to pass you, on manicured, un-technical single track, "nearly"makes you fall over, after a clear and full warning that it was to take place, you shouldn't be riding there. Thoughts and opinions please on what I'm sure is a hornets nest waiting to be kicked What a douchebag!!! Chill out bro! The trails are for all, go easy on the newbies... if you're wanting to go hard, head to a more technical trails. Northerns is a very chilled and family friendly place.
