ChrisF Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Hemel an Aarde trails .... The morning started out with a light breeze, and nice mid 20's ..... After the Gorge the temperatures started hovering around the 30's .... Strange how those few degrees can add to the challenge .... This was our first time doing the "Black route". WOW !! After 32km we were VERY happy to see this Oasis in the desert !!!! Having finished our nearly 4 liters of water a few kilometers earlier this truly was an Oasis in the desert ..... BIG THANKS to these trail builders and all the land-owners sharing this area with us. TheoG, MrJacques, Hendel Clase and 16 others 19

ChrisF Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Just now, Frosty said: How far was your ride? 53km .... after skipping a couple of the sections along the return loop. Expect the full route to be about 65km, will certainly go back and do the full route .... in cooler weather. Frosty and BenReaper 2

So can do anything from 12 to 70km. We did not turn back at 23km .... not realising the next turn is only at 32km ... 🤪 Frosty and BenReaper 2

BIG THANKS to these trail builders and all the land-owners sharing this area with us. Cool pics. The trails are actually really loose at the moment but they never disappoint. I might have seen your group this morning on my way up. The trail builders here are amazing! The full black route is probably around 40kms of singletrack! ChrisF and Trashy 2
