Skubarra Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 when were you there? Late saturday morning, sometime after 10h00
Hairy Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Late saturday morning, sometime after 10h00We were there early. After coming through Cobra and climbing up to the start of "Z", there were lots of riders coming over (and skipping the Cobra) to ride the new trail. By the time we left the place was pumping with riders. Now they just need to get a coffee shop like the Dairy Shed up and running. Many riders are simply going down to Conters after the ride for coffee or parking there, riding directly to Hoogies and coming back again for their coffee and flipping awesome cakes from the Dairy Shed.

Agree, they are missing a trick! Know a few people who park and ride from the Dairy shed even though they live in D'ville

I bucked the trend and went back to Conties this weekend to test the work the 2 Droo's had done on my rear can (I have lock out and low speed compressions now! Awesome!) and it was nicely quiet. Seems like everyone was over at Hoogies. It's like a 140 Revelation... not as trendy but still alot of fun! Got to do loops alone while tweaking and then hammered the coffee and omelette. #ReasonsToRide

And Hoogies is just too busy at the moment.
Bloukrans Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Agree, they are missing a trick! Know a few people who park and ride from the Dairy shed even though they live in D'villeJust a quick question: where is the best place to park and ride my bike on most of the trails? I do have Tygerberg membership. Conties - Hoogies - Bloemendal?

Wannabe Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Any bets on how long "Trail Z" is gonna take to turn into a dust bowl during the drier months? A few of the switchbacks and berms has been damaged already by dragging tires, and is quite dusty.

Agree, powdery already don't see it lasting long in summer with all the traffic it's taking Think Thermotage will get his technical trail after all
