Darko Posted October 20, 2020 Share So does that mean that it's open from 21:00 for night rides? Oh yes!!! Late rides are back on the menu https://www.facebook.com/tarokotrails/posts/185740206392540 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted October 20, 2020 Share So does that mean that it's open from 21:00 for night rides? It closes at 21:00 so all the night that happens before that is for riding Darko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK7 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Taroko are doing a great job. Place is looking fantastic. Massive improvements all around. Love riding there. What do you think of the graded downhill at the end though? The power lines descent, aka last fast single track. Personally, I'm a little disappointed. Preferred a trickier, adrenaline spiking descent. More friendly to more riders now, but over manicured if you looking for a buzz going down that section. Not a gripe. Just wondering if I'm alone in thinking that sometimes you lose the thrill if there is too much smoothing/grading mtbsmurf and Dexter-morgan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, why not just grade and tar the whole loop then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted October 26, 2020 Share Yeah so much scope for something fun! Being under powerlines also means it can never be developed no matter what happens The added adrenaline comes in when the hikers dawdle up there...

Muttley Posted October 26, 2020 Share That is *** news. It was a nice little single trail. Honestly, why not just grade and tar the whole loop then?I agree but the last time I rode it (a few months back), the 1 gum pole was waaaaaay to close to the trail and the slightest contact with it would result in a serious injury.

DR ◣◢ Posted October 26, 2020 Share Flow tracks are super popular right now and will continue to be so. Hope they know how to create good flow. Nothing worse than berms braking your speed instead of adding to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, slow down when you come to it. I've done loads of runs down that trail and never clipped it Dexter-morgan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley Posted October 26, 2020 Share So, slow down when you come to it. I've done loads of runs down that trail and never clipped itI did cos I knew about it... those who didn't know about it could easily come unstuck... I'm all for that section being fast - was my fav part of the park, just became dangerous when they chose to plant a gum pole right next to the trail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadvdw67 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Flow tracks are super popular right now and will continue to be so. Hope they know how to create good flow. Nothing worse than berms braking your speed instead of adding to it.Go ride the Wolwespruit flow trail, I think you will see that they know what they are doing.... I have been eyeing a line down one of the hills there recently wondering if they will make some kind of flow/jump line down it, will post pictures next time I go ride there and see if any of you guys agree that it looks like it could be something fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a drive but I’m sure it’s worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickie Posted October 26, 2020 Share Finally hit the trails the weekend and really impressed on how well it has improved compared to last year. New owners doing a great jobOnly thing was I wanted to grab a coke to drive home and had to pay R10 to get in to buy it.Wonder if cyclist that have paid already could get into the market for "free". Just a thought but otherwise good work ridr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted November 1, 2020 Share Trails are immaculate and definitely a good workout. Not a lot of interesting features but still a pleasant ride. That downhill by the power line though. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Hubs Posted November 13, 2020 Share Anyone experienced Modders after the heavy rains we have just had/having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK7 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Anyone experienced Modders after the heavy rains we have just had/having? Will be fine. I would just skips the 1st reeds section. And the river section will have some branches you will have to potentially go around or hop off for. But last weekend after the rain, was tip top still.
