Guest notmyname Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 8km into Harkerville red only to tear the side wall so bad I had to push back to the TH. I'm fitting some new rubber and heading straight back dammit! BenReaper and L.T.G 2
sawystertrance Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Bush tunnel, Simonsberg Conservancy mtb trails. First time there. Had a jol and was surprised at the large amount of single track options! Will definitely be going back.Devon,I was also there. Maybe even rode at the same time you did. I also really enjoyed the trails but was very disappointed that Muratie don't serve any kind of brunch/bredakfast thing like they do at Ride-In. It seems they are geared for the traditional Sunday lunch. Seems strange to go to all that trouble to make trails for MTBers and then not get them to stay behind after their ride and spend some more money on food and drink. I think they are missing a huge market there. Maybe in the future.... Simonpurdon 1

tombeej Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 This time I went to the bike... IMG_5388.JPG I've been meaning to sign up as well - for too long now. Winter is a good time to do it - so I need to move my fat arse. How was it - I hear it's pretty brutal.
Simonpurdon Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I fully agree with you on that one. Hopefully in time they will make the change?Where abouts are these trails? Where can you enter? Might give them a spin this weekend!
sawystertrance Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Where abouts are these trails? Where can you enter? Might give them a spin this weekend!They form part of the Dirtopia trails in the Simonsberg conservancy. I think there are a few entry points but I went and started from Muratie. Also rode the "tunnel" but my photo is not as impressive as Devon's. Still, for what it's worth, here it is... L.T.G 1
sawystertrance Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 ..And, by the way, the trails are great. My mate and I got a good 2.5 hours out of the ride so go and enjoy. Just let us know how it went. With photos of course.
Brian Fantana Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Just returned from a lekker ride on the singletrack around the Lillebælt bridge in Middelfart. It was quite chilly, 4degC with some hail and wind towards the end of the ride. Edited April 30, 2015 by Brian Fantana BSG 1

Uni Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Really beautiful autumn day out at Northerns. Was bloody cold in the morning though. Edited May 1, 2015 by Uni blondeonabike, deanbean and L.T.G 3
