nox1111 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 who needs europe I'm so amped for the sheer amount of good trails in and around the Boland! Testimony to quality of the trailbuilders - Shaun, Bennet etc and the conservations and farmers whom let us use their lands.But deffo still want to do Europe! Once my skills are a bit more honed.
nox1111 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Thing is, my Trance simply refuses to do things like that. Where do I check on a Trance to see the size of its' balls, I think they may be a bit too small? Where can I buy bigger ones? Whaha, great comment!I find that if I ride purely to get and stay fit, my skill stays stagnant. If I go for more play-focused rides, choosing my trails accordingly, I will do a 15 - 30km ride, and have one helluva chanllenging time, forcing myself to go faster in difficult sections, and hit things that scare me (within reason - I'm not stupid or blind to my shortcomings), but walk away with a new 'skill' in my bag, and a massive smile on my face.My suggestion for getting your skills honed - is G-spot. Ride it up and down until you can't feel your legs, but choose sections that you want to nail and focus on them. Edited January 31, 2017 by nox1111 Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and DJR 2

Duane_Bosch Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 who needs europe I do. Slowbee and Odinson 2
Duane_Bosch Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 But deffo still want to do Europe! Once my skills are a bit more honed.No need for more skill. I'd suggest going this year before JZ completely ruins our currency.
DJR Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 No need for more skill. I'd suggest going this year before JZ completely ruins our currency.When flight specials on Angolan Air starts to look attractive, then you know our currency is junk, notwithstanding what crooked Moodies have to say.
nox1111 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 No need for more skill. I'd suggest going this year before JZ completely ruins our currency.This is the year of the young one. Due in March, so will have to hold back on Mtb excursions. Planning one with OJVJ in 2 years, maybe Lenzerhede

Planning one with OJVJ in 2 years, maybe Lenzerhede What is OJVJ? Lenzerheide is too small for an Alpine Virgin. And Switzerland is too expensive for a Saffer. PDS or Leogang/Saalbach for a first timer. I think getting to Leogang is a bit of admin. PDS is cheap. And the trails are AMAAAAAAAAZING! Possibly Pila/Aosta. Never been to Pila but spent a day in Aosta. It's at the bottom of the valley below Pila. Aosta is amazing. It's somewhere you could deff take the Mrs and there's a trail that runs 17km from the top of Pila right down into Aosta. Been to the PDS 6 times and I think I've ridden MAYBE 40% of the tracks.

My wife grew up in Switzerland, so she can visit schoolfriends, whilst I ride my bike.
