MTB thugs spoil a morning ride at Hoogekraal

[Wannabe]

I can't believe in a thread with all the rage end enmity about Hoogies, noone has mentioned the Strava-lovers short-cutting the trails. Now are those members or day trippers??

 

 

 

Nope, asswipes.

Conters to Hoogies back to Conters. Conters mast, Bloemendal mast, down Bloemendal, up that biaaatch of a switchback forest climb, down all the way to the bottom again, up via Hillcrest to the Conters mast again and down the Conters Black.

 

3 hours and 1200 meters of pain and smiles.

[Hairy]

Faaaaaark I miss Cape Town.

 

That coffee place halfway around Conters is also damn good. The one with the container bike shop...forgot the name....

Their coffee is so good because they get their beans from here

Issue at hand has been discussed, someone from committee has commented and taken notice and noted all suggestions, why keep on fighting?

 

We're at the awesome cake and coffee already.

Sorry, don't have 'rhetorical' fonts on my phone

The second switchback down before that, too for me... Be grateful you're just lazy and not also a wuss like SOME people.

So you didn't see the honesty box but proceeded anyway, I'm sorry but that doesn't cut it. You admitted that there were lots of other riders about, did you think to ask anyone where the honesty box was?

honest mistake dude! a suggestion.... maybe put up a big RED arrow or something

 

bottom line, some regular riders tend to think they are the LAW and have not way of dealing with people

 

rather than a stand off, have a chat to the new riders & point them in the right direction

I've met a couple of these tygerberg guys and 90% of them need a dwis tag.

That's just me..

[Thermophage]

goes Majik/Bloem/Bloem-over-the-road/Conters/Hoogies and back, right? If so - FK ME SIDEWAYS. 

 

EDIT: And in that case, do you do any of the fun stuff at Conters?

Ya dude, ALL the fun stuff, that was the point of the ride...The black from the mast at Conters, Bloemendaaler, the "illegal" stuff the local kids build in Majik, alles

65km and 1700m vertical

A mate and I did it a few weekends ago
