Does anybody know about the Pump track they are busy building in Queenwood Pretoria?

Hi Nigel, do you know what is the layer they put on the soil?

Asphalt, compacted with high frequency vibratory machines supplied by ourselves, to ensure smooth and consistently well compacted asphalt. Even the lips of the jumps get compacted, so I'm sure the track is going to stay in awesome condition for a long time to come.

Once they're finished, I'll drag my fat ass around there and give some feedback from the buffalo side of the fence :)

Don't get too excited, folks. It's probaly going to be littered with rug rats on push bikes and angry soccer moms.

Maybe you missed something. The track is being built by a school. It is primarily intended to increase the skill levels of school children. My "rug rat" will also ride there. So will I. If you like peace and quiet and dislike children there is always Freedom Challenge, RASA, Munga etc. Each onto his own.
