knopbroek Posted June 16, 2022 Share Did the green route today, and thought it was really awesome. The infamous hawk swooped down thrice, and hit me on the side of my helmet and ear the third time. Small graze and bleeding of ear. Dexter-morgan and Hendel Clase 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter-morgan Posted June 17, 2022 Share I must be honest, we rode there, last Sunday the 12th of July and I enjoy the "new" route way more, a bit more climbing(feels like it) with some proper stuff thrown in the mix, my wife did not ride all of it be I prefer it way more, Now the section from the "old" gate is downhill again, so you can bomb it lekke.

Boktiet82 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Does anyone know if the 30km route is open to ride or is it just the 10km and 20km? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakoota Posted August 9, 2022 Share The chaps at Trail Wolf deserve some kudos! I've ridden the Taroko trails 18 times now already this year and from humble beginnings when 98,25% (an unvalidated claim of course) of people complained that they couldn't overcome floods to manage their trails, mud, or cut grass, to the current state where they have a well planned and executed trail network which is at the same time safe for a novice rider and fun/challenging for those more experienced. Well done gents! I thoroughly enjoy riding your trails, have built skills which I never thought I'd be able to since I passed the 40 mark, and continue to enjoy the work you do and the extensions you continue to add almost weekly. My next request: bring back the downhill line under the power lines, your new version of course. I'll even learn how to drive heavy machinery to help if you want. 10km, 20km, 30km trails are all open and many sections have great fire roads adjacent to them if you are inclined to re-ride the fun parts. Most times I do the downhill through the trees at least twice Edited August 9, 2022 by Nakoota Hendel Clase, Mark_J, Chadvdw67 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmarc Posted August 9, 2022 Share Modders is becoming proper again - Everytime i go down that trail I sooooo wanna jump that ramp, and have to remind myself of my age and skill level. What they should do is build 3 ramps at different heights so us nubes can upskill to the big boy Nakoota, Schuits and Dexter-morgan 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a pair of knee pads and a dropper and then age doesn't matter anymore madmarc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGCrider Posted August 9, 2022 Share Been riding modders for a good few years now and the new trails are much better. More challenging and more fun. I however haven’t ridden the river section for a while. I usually avoid it but I do enjoy that section. Does anyone know of the sparrow hawk is still around?
