Goosebay Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/jcl/News%20pictures/IMG_5857.jpg A teaser from last year. Rode the trail last weekend and the heather appearing reminded me of this photo. Some of the slopes are now a pink hue in the evening sunlight.
Goosebay Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Some other happenings in the valley - a new jump line is slowly taking shape very close to the race venue. Hopefully be ready by the end of this year, but the quarter should be up and running. http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/jcl/News%20pictures/themba%20trails.jpg http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/jcl/News%20pictures/IMG_1600.jpg

Goosebay Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/jcl/News%20pictures/fynbos.jpgThis evening!
Goosebay Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Mweb took down the mysite service, so all my pics and mtb info gone. They said they took it down at the end of May 2013 due to phishing - but I have been using it till very recently!! Will try to upload the pics from elsewhere - but most of the info have also been uploaded to www.funkyfynbos.co.za and to https://www.facebook.com/funkyfynbosfestival
Goosebay Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 You are looking at about 1400m - a lot of the climbing is quite technical, but rewarding. If you chill you can climb most of it. If you are strong and very fit you can climb all of it, except maybe the last bit to the tower. Bits that I thought too steep a few years ago I can now ride - so it is all relative. The guys that raced the route said it was very hard, and the folk that chilled said the views and fun factor was awesome.
Goosebay Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 This is a photo from last year - taken just below the tower climb
