I did the one 50km 2y ago. Was a proper challenge. Keen to come back this year.

Sounds like a "date" A lot of changes to the trails since you last rode. Will be something different. Our local riders coined the phrase ...."real MTB"..... go figure. Hope to see you on the day SCD.

Late reply, we...... "telkom" & Mweb + a bit of "intelligence" or lack the of has made my internet access sporadic. I did not ride today. Will update when fortune shines on me and I can get on WWO again. cheers

No problem, also contacted Goosebay yesterday afternoon and he pointed me in the right direction to the trails.[emoji106]

So went out riding on the Klipspringer trails this morning and WOW!!!

Was blown away by what's hiding in the mountains here behind Gansbay.

Took the Red route that's only 12km long thinking it'll be a walk in the park but damn was I surprised!

Challenging climbs and awesome downhills with jumps and berms znd views for days!

I wont be able to make it to the event, but for those of you planning to come ride it you will definitely not be disappointed. ????

Long term weather looks good, we have had lots and lots of good rains, so the tracks are looking very good.

 

Soos in die vorige voorspelling gemeld... bly dit droog tot die 15de maar 'n trog van lae druk in die bolug wat op die 16de uit die weste oor die land inkom kan verandering bring. Reënerigheid daaruit kan tot die 17de hou waarna nog 'n front op die 19de inkom... die Winter is dus nog nie verby nie.... (Volgende Voorspelling :- Donderdag 21h00) ... Vrae of kommentaar... weather@twk.co.za.
