Guest notmyname Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Gravel Grinding again today.Is this Breedts? If so, I'm keen to hear how the north - south descent was....
eddy Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Is this Breedts? If so, I'm keen to hear how the north - south descent was....Yip, Breedts. The Southern side, from Hekpoort is better than the side towards Buffelspoort dam, but that is not saying much. I understand that someone in an X3 lost their sump going down the Northern side. Both are however rideable on a bicycle. Neither is much fun going down at speed on a rigid bike with 35mm tyres L.T.G 1

Guest notmyname Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Rideable two weeks ago. Only went half way yesterday so not sure after the last rains but should be fineish...I was there last weekend. I'm more interested in the bikes ability...Hows the quick rough stuff if you know what I mean.

osiris Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Where? Ladysmith,really awesome riding to be had here, did a 50km with 700m of ascent

I'm more interested in the bikes ability...Hows the quick rough stuff if you know what I mean.Ah, I see.  Going down is an exercise in slow and controlled line picking, staying off the front brake in the rough stuff and trusting momentum... But, last time I overheard a chap at the top say to his mate " Check daai f@kken mal ou. Hy's op 'n f@kken padfiets" ! L.T.G, Tumbleweed, BSG and 4 others 7
