Might make a weekend of it. We all know how mountain bikers exaggerate…🤣🤣🤣 ”just ride it, you’ll be fine” it’s definitely a weekend trip worth, plan an extra day for the “drug fix” . it hits you hard on your way back that you won’t ride anything like that in Cape Town… Robbie Stewart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christofison Posted February 27, 2023 Share Last year, rain the night before made it twice as gnarly as it usually is. Let's hope for a dry one this year. Wednesday will be a public holiday. Take leave on Monday, Tuesday and check out the proper gnarly stuff that is too hectic to be included in the race.

Are we riding the old trail from the cross again? I love that little piece of heaven BikeGenie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that little piece of heaven Probably not but there's 3 new trails to make up for that, that are arguably more fun. The top half of that Cross trail is the only section that goes off forestry land into Cape Nature land. So that's a whole other land use application and they charge a crazy amount per rider, for like 90 seconds of descending. Jewbacca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am itching to visit again this year to check out your yard once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a scale of 0 - Gnar, how accessible will these be for us blind folk?😅 Edited February 27, 2023 by MORNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipV Posted March 5, 2023 Share Jis I'm keen on doing this. Having a friend who recently moved to George means I'll get to see them as well. The Sunday race means I'll be getting home late, but I can get the wife or shotgun to drive a bit. Somerset West isn't that far. Pre-rife Saturday, race Sunday. Sounds like a great weekend.

Christofison Posted June 23, 2023 Share I'm hoping to have an answer from Forestry on my land use permit sometime next week. Really struggling with them this year. I'll post here when entries open. Otherwise, join the Whatsapp broadcast group which also doubles as an emergency report channel on race day: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LdkQ09SKLEBAbUosMjelgv Jako De Wet, Jewbacca and Louw S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
