Agreed.... pre/post work rides used to keep my employees much happier and my missus a little lonelier.

 

Cobra still needs to wash out a bit.. the top contour is still a lot more main road than it used to be.

 

But ja... 4km from my front door and keeping weekend fuel costs down and silly grins up!

 

The 50% CBC special between 16:30 and 18:30 at Tribakery makes afternoon rides appealing as well.....

WHY DON'T I KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!!

Still regretting getting that big mac wannabe instead of the Yum burger. 

HAHAHA my bad... Bootleggers #boot2boot bru

 

But yes.... 50% CBC beer at 'that place' after a tokai ride is rad

Only saturday & sunday it's open, bro, and I dunno when I'll be able to get there TBH. Plus you're a better rider than I, so I'd just hold you up... 

 

why not get together with Devon / Rika etc?

i dont know when they go?

yes. 

 

And no, not the final drop (haven't even tried that one) nor the one before it - the one in the middle. After the trail splits to the AM trail and you take the DH1 route, you've got a drop, then a rocky double, then down into the left / right berm and then a tiny log drop. I fixate on the landing where there's a rock that I'm *sure* my wheel will land on and wash out if I don't roll it. It's so bloody stupid, but I need to get over it... 

Eish, Glad I am not the only one who has issues with that drop.

Mostly mornings. 7h30 / 8ish from what I've seen and the times I've seen them there. 

problem is anyone can beat me on a uphill

downhill not so much i hope...

Nope. Only saturday & sunday this weekend. We're trying to put something together for the 27th though. 

 

Awesome! I'm off to the Breede to chase the Easter Bunny about this weekend and was going to be kicking myself if I'd missed 4 full days... especially as I'm not taking my bikes as there isn't that much about there.

 

Loving Tokai at the moment and having a bromance with the Cobra all the way down (though wish the rest of the snake trails were like the top of Cobra as that is super fun). Now, if you could Cobra into AM then that would be awesome. :)

Glad you're all still enjoying the trails! Agree with the sentiment of taking one's time to get over the doubt of clearing the features. All in good time.. 

 

In the next few days, together with the SANParks senior section ranger for the area, we'll walk the new (new) route that should add about 1.3km of singletrack to Tokai. Going to be a good one from early inspections!
