NotSoBigBen Posted April 7, 2022 Share What is it about riding at Thaba Trails as opposed to 'outrides' that makes it so special ... - you're guaranteed to see some wildlife - wrestling the bike up some rocky bits - hearing the sound of the back wheel skipping and slippin on the downs - occasionally hearing tyres pinging on rocks - being alone with your thoughts, no traffic ... NO traffic at all - trails that are well maintained in such a way that they are not 'manicured' but still an absolute blast to ride! If you've never been or haven't been for a while you owe it to yourself to go and have some fun 😎 Scary Rider, ChrisF, The Ouzo and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've never been or haven't been for a while you owe it to yourself to go and have some fun 😎 I'm actually planning a trip out there this weekend with a buddy. Last time I rode there it was with a 29+ trail hardtail... Now it'll be a rigid steel bike. Lets see how that goes! At least it has a dropper, which I sorely missed last time. Looking at the new markers, are the blue portions still optional like they always were? I found most of them too tough to ride with my feeble skills (the climbs, anyway, downs I could handle). The long climb with the paved extension to the Thaba Eco Hotel is still one of my favourite climbs in GP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride the green which I find tough enough and within my 'limited' technical skillset. The orange is 15, green 20 and blue 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne pudding Mol Posted April 9, 2022 Share A local race today. My new foolproof race strategy, and it’s working, is to start last. Makes me feel better about my lack of talent MajG, DJR, 'Dale and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
