awesme Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Hi all We're entered for this weekends Summer Fast one, but at the moment the route is looking like a damm, and mud, and thats before 500 riders descent onto it... Not keen on destroying retailers. SO, hands up, hows your local trail looking, looking for a 50km loop, not a mud pit. G
Grease_Monkey Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Buffelsdrift is looking decent. Rode there yesterday. Some muddy patches, but all avoidable. About an hours drive from you...

awesme Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 So I did mention Summer Fast one, THIS weekend. so that implies, MTB. Looking for a offload/single track fun. Road race is weekend/Sunday 28th ? G The road???
awesme Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 Me also, and can't even figure out what I wanted to write... G The title has me confused... What job?
EmptyB Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Looking at the weather forecast...I think everywhere is going to be a mud pit over the weekend. Enjoy!
the nerd Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Thaba will be fairly well drained just stay out the bottom section and skip leopards claw.. Should be fine.
nathrix Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Whenever it's a muddy mess after some rain, i enjoy riding my Sawyer even more than usual. It's fitted with a Gate's carbon belt drive sytem (has a split frame to be able to fit the belt drive) and go look for some mud. It goes through mud pits like a hot knife through butter, it's a blast! So, my point is, when it's muddy, go ss as there will be no chain suck, no need to replace the drive train and no lube required on the belt drive.

It will inspire good gumption for the weekend.
