Karakoram Posted March 9, 2016 Share Thought I would share news about a new trail section, part of the Wannabees Cycling Club in Somerset West's trail network. It doesn’t matter if you’re Mandy or Andy, the patch will introduce you to Sandy. A 2km labyrinth of twisty, sandy tracks on a meadow, designed to outline the shape of a really huge Fatbike. The trail section is called the Fatbike Patch. The club managed to obtain permission to utilise a fallow piece of sandy farm land for the establishment of a fatbike trail. The novelty of the Fatbike Patch is that it outlines the shape of a huge Fatbike, just over 2km long. The trail is negotiable on any mountain bike, but is much more fun to ride on a fatbike because of the sandy soil.(On Strava, the segment is called "Dawie's Fatbike"). Non-club members may ride the trail provided they purchase a day-permit (R40), available at all the LBSs in Somerset West, also available at the Lord Charles Hotel reception desk (24/7), Campus Solutions at Waterstone Shopping Centre, and Somerbosch Wine Estate. We are also planning a Fatbike outride in May, riding the Fatbike Patch as well as the single tracks/Jeep tracks of the club, stopping at coffee shops on trail, altogether doing about 35km. It will be an opportunity for Fatbike owners to share ideas, swap high calorie stories about gear and trails and sharing the love of fatties.

Karakoram Posted March 11, 2016 Share One of the club's members just shared his Strava Art of riding the Fatbike Patch. (The ride was described as Shake, Rattle and Roll). The track will smooth out as more wheels go over it, but also get more sandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karakoram Posted March 11, 2016 Share Ek sal hom gou more gaan toets.Fantasties! Die Strava prentjie was op 'n gewone bergfiets gedoen. Vet is vrolik, maar nie verpligtend om die nuwe Vetfietsbaan te geniet nie. Laat weet hoe jy dit ervaar het. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
