Yesterday, on Eden

[Rouxenator]

Not sure what group this was, pity I missed the first riders cause they were fast!

That looks like the Parel Vallei High School team.

Tell me more! Eden is where I do most of my riding, but have been off the bike for a few months due to injury, and am keen to get back up there soon.

And the new line at eden just flows so lekker!!!

 

When I rode it freshly cut, I struggled to flow. But now that it has bedded in with rain and riding, it works much better.

 

Thanks trail builders!

That looks like it's on the Mont Marie side of Eden? Easy to find?

If you take the Eden forest single track all the way to the top there are two lines down, take the one on the MM side. There is a new trail cut about 1/3 of the way down that goes left. Just keep going left with it and you will have a big mound that drops over the jeep track into the new trail.

 

It's lekker, but there are a few places that can catch you off guard. Like the jump-to-bush line

[funnyman]

'jump-to-bush' line... Hahaha... Yeah got me on both runs! ????????

[Julz]

Hehe,i saw quite alot of wipeout marks on certain blind turns

[Meezo]

How does one do a circular route there, what's the distance elevation like?

 

Where do i park?

 

I'm always tempted to go but always end up going to Jonkershoek, not that I'm complaining I've never ridden these trails other than in Origin of Trails

We normally park at the Paradyskloof gate at the start of the Eden forest. Then go up the forest, over to MontMarie, do the trails there (Baboon some or other, Element etc) climb back, over to GSpot and then climb back to the top of the Eden forest and do the DH line and jump line further down.

 

Comes to about 20kms with 600m elevation. You can add in some Coetzenburg sections to add on extra kms

 

Most of the lines you'll want to do more than once in any case

Schweet that's within my riding ability will definitely check it out

Lol, jump-to-bush claimed me the first time. But "Off-camber corner into tree" dropoff gets me every time.
